Designed not just to be lived in, but to be felt, this to-be-built residence offers a rare opportunity to experience a thoughtfully imagined coastal retreat in one of Maine's most treasured seaside enclaves. A short stroll leads to the heart of Northeast Harbor, where boutiques, marinas, and classic coastal charm await. Envisioned as an elegant yet contemporary home, Joyride will span approximately 3,200 square feet and feature four serene bedroom suites, each designed as a private sanctuary with effortless access to the outdoors. Mornings begin with salt air and soft light spilling onto patios, while evenings gather around shared moments indoors and out. At its heart, the home is designed for connection, a place where generations come together and memories unfold naturally. Just beyond the main residence, a charming detached guest cottage offers additional flexibility, complete with a bathroom and kitchenette, ideal for guests, extended family, or a private creative retreat. Joyride is thoughtfully brought to life by the acclaimed design-build team of Stephanie Rae Interiors and Bloom Building & Construction. Their work has been featured in Architectural Digest and most recently on the cover of Boston Home Magazine. This is where Maine becomes more than a destination. This is where it becomes yours.
