The River House is a wonderfully restored 1820’s 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, saltwater cape style farmhouse, with newly added 2 car garage and overhead 2 bedroom apartment.

It is located on 3 waterfront acres on the East Machias River estuary in the outskirts of the village of East Machias, Maine. This 4,200 square foot cape has a lovely mix of historic home restoration and newly added comforts. The post & beam great-room addition has excellent natural light, a fireplace and terrific views of tidal creeks, blueberry fields and farmlands.

The house features an antique staircase, restored pantry with charming touches of the past, fully equipped large kitchen, radiant heat floors with slate and ceramic tile and new windows throughout. Also included in the house is a gas range, refrigerator and dishwasher.

The River House property abuts a picturesque tidal creek and is a wonderful spot for launching canoes and kayaks to explore the lower East Machias River and Machias Bay.

The house is located alongside of Route 191 on Shipyard Cove, and is only 20 minutes from Maine’s Bold Coast in Cutler with its amazing hikes at Western Head and Black Point.

The home is also just 1 hour and 45 minutes away from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park and only 1 hour from Calais and New Brunswick, Canada. Lubec and Campobello Island are also only 35 minutes away and local woodland, ocean and lake activities make this house a desirable vacation or retirement home.

This house also has excellent commercial potential for a professional office, B&B, summer rental or small meeting center. While at this house occupants can enjoy nature while still being close to shopping, the hospital and the university.
