About This Home

This charming, seasonal cottage has been in the same family for nearly a hundred years. It was the summer retreat for artist Hazel Brill Jackson, rock climber, poet, defender of wild animals and internationally acclaimed sculptress. She created bronze statues of wild animals, inspired by local wildlife , content in the peaceful atmosphere of Cutler, her studio/retreat is an ideal summer place for nature/outdoor enthusiasts and an excellent potential as a B&B with a unique history. From the wrap-around deck are views of Cutler across the Harbor, and out to Little River Island and Grand Manaan. Eagles and osprey drift by on sea breezes. On the hottest days of summer, cool fog tempers the air so there's no need for AC. A kitchen wood stove and living room Franklin fireplace add warmth and coziness in the shoulder seasons. First floor has a bathroom with shower and sink and outside near the house is an outhouse. The whole second floor is open with a bedroom on each side. There are three single beds and one double bed. From the windows you will hear thrushes sing in the pre-dawn and dusk. Glorious sunrises bloom over the hills above town and eastern Head. One of the many rugged and rocky Bold Coast trails, Western Head, begins a quarter mile from the doorstep. Many other trails and public beaches are minutes away by vehicle. Deer and bird habitat abounds, sweetgrass and balsam poplar leaves scent the air. The shoreline is good for digging your own clams as well as beach-coming. And for boat lovers, the far end of the shore is accessible for deep water anchorage. Little River (Cutler Harbor) is famous for its depth and length and as such provides safe shelter for fishermen's boats, yachts, and recreational kayakers and paddle boarders. This property is one of the rarest places of its kind left along the Maine Coast. A perfect place to begin a generational tradition. MOTIVATED SELLER
