3 Bedroom Cottage in Waldoboro
Historic Maine Farmhouse on 14 Acres – Fireplaces, Forest, Dark Skies
Dating to the early 1800s and thoughtfully modernized, this historic Maine farmhouse offers a rare combination of authenticity, comfort, and deep quiet. Set on 14 acres of forest and meadow in rural Waldoboro, the property provides privacy and space while remaining close to Damariscotta Lake and the Midcoast’s coastal towns.
In spring and early summer, the woods and fields come alive with fresh green growth and long, quiet days. Guests can explore the coast and nearby towns, then return to a peaceful setting with cool evenings by the fire. The home is well suited to guests looking to slow down, disconnect from the city, and experience Maine across all four seasons.
The original house retains its wide pine floors, exposed beams, and working fireplaces, while a substantial addition (“the Barn”), completed in the 1980s, provides additional space, light, and modern systems. The result is a home that feels rooted in history but functions comfortably year-round.
