On the shores of a tidal inlet flowing to the Penobscot Bay, Popplewood, built in 2015, sits on two and a half acres of rustic Midcoast Maine just ten minutes from Rockland, with views from all rooms framed by soaring pines overlooking 400 feet of waterfront. The sunny, open lot is bordered on the remaining three sides by woods, for ideal serenity and privacy.

Launch our kayaks or your boat from our dock to explore the nearby waterways, coves, and islands teeming with wildlife, or sit on the wrap-around deck with access from the kitchen and master bedroom to watch butterflies, blue heron, falcons, and maybe even a bald eagle go by.

On the open-plan, high-ceilinged first floor, you’ll find a fully equipped chef’s kitchen featuring granite counter tops, a six-burner stove, and a large island next to a dining table with river views through oversized French doors. (Or eat outside at the cafe table on the deck or the oversized picnic table on the lawn.)

Beyond the comfortable living room is the master suite, with a walk-in closet and large bathroom including an open shower and separate oversized contemporary cast-iron tub perfect for soaking after a day of boating or hiking.

Upstairs are three additional bedrooms – one with a queen bed, one with two twins, and a third with a single twin bed — and a second full bath with a shower and tub.

There’s reliable high-speed wifi and an internet-based landline. All appliances are new, including the washer and dryer in the tiled basement laundry room. The house has excellent cross-ventilation and ceiling fans in virtually every room.

Popplewood is a ten-minute drive from Rockland, home to award-winning restaurants, brew pubs, and lobster pounds, more than thirty-five art galleries, the Farnsworth Museum, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, a multiplex cinema, and the Strand, a non-profit theater hosting films and live performances.

From Rockland, catch the ferry to Vinalhaven or take a short drive up the coast to the picturesque villages of Rockport and Camden. A few minutes south of Popplewood you'll find Tenants Harbor and the ferry to Monhegan Island at Port Clyde village. The Owl's Head, Marshall Point, and Rockland Breakwater lighthouses and their sweeping ocean views are all within a short drive.

Nearby swimming beaches include Birch Point State Park, four miles (ten minutes) by car, and Crescent Beach (nine miles, twelve minutes) as well as many freshwater lakes. There are numerous public boat launches within minutes, as well.
