The Downeast Coastal Retreat is a unique vacation property located in Pembroke, Maine. Unlike highly developed coastal vacation environments on the eastern seaboard, this home allows you to live on Cobscook Bay in a rural town where the residents raise their families and engage in both traditional occupations of fishing, farming, and forestry, as well as more contemporary forms of work. This porti
on of Washington County is the last stretch of relatively undeveloped Atlantic coastline in the United States. Our fully renovated farmstead property on Leighton Neck encompasses acres of field and forest, and its 450 foot shoreline provides instant access to a large bay with dramatic twenty-foot tidal changes. It offers the intense visual experience of coastal rural Maine in a way almost no other venue can provide. The house, situated on over 55 acres, offers both privacy and the ability to be part of a living coastal community. It is also close to Eastport, the easternmost city in the US, and home to maritime and artistic enterprises. The Downeast Coastal Retreat provides a comfortable place to relax with family and friends, do creative work in a quiet and aesthetic atmosphere, and serves as a base to explore the Bay and unspoiled coastal reserves and parks. You will be located in an historic maritime community that includes Passamaquoddy Bay, Cobscook Bay, the Bay of Fundy, and the Canadian islands Grand Manan, Deer Island, and Campobello--all accessible by bridge or ferry.
