Measuring 36 feet by 36 feet, the residence rises three levels, its clean lines and striking profile matched by wall-sized windows that frame expansive views of forest, tidal water, and open sky. At the center of the home is a dramatic open-air atrium that extends from the first floor through all three levels. A railed interior balcony bridges two sections of the house, adding architectural interest while drawing light and air into the core of the structure. This feature, paired with open and flexible living spaces on each floor, creates a layout that is both practical and visually stunning. The design emphasizes natural light and a constant connection to the outdoors, making nature a defining part of the interior experience. The property includes more than 1,000 feet of tidal saltwater frontage at the head of Machias Bay, near Woodruff Cove. The 12.8 wooded acres offer room to explore the shoreline, walk wooded trails, and watch wildlife from your doorstep. Despite the sense of privacy, the property is just a few miles from Machias, where grocery stores, restaurants, medical services, and the University of Maine at Machias provide convenience and cultural opportunities. Nearby attractions include Jasper Beach, Roque Bluffs State Park, and the Bold Coast trail system, all known for their dramatic beauty. Day trips to Eastport, Lubec, or Campobello Island, New Brunswick, add even more to the lifestyle offered here. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly unique home that combines striking architecture, privacy, and direct access to the coastal landscape of Down East Maine.
