10 Leeman Hill Road, Bristol, ME, 04554 | $675,000

Once you step into this home it is easy to imagine what island living might have been like in a late 1800's Maine fishing community. Small and efficient, light pours in from all angles and the sights, sounds, and smells of the harbor drift in through doors and windows. Originally built on Louds Island circa 1890, it was floated by barge across Muscongus Bay in 1926 to where it sits today at the beginning of the Leeman Hill Rd overlooking New Harbor. New Harbor, Maine proudly retains its status as a working harbor with all the flavor of those early days. The daily hustle and bustle of lobstermen loading their bait and returning with their catch continue the rhythms New Harbor has known for over three hundred years. The community remains tight knit and neighborly.

This four-season house has been well maintained, is truly in move in ready condition, and is available just in time for Maine's beautiful summer! First floor rooms open into each other giving both a sense of space and coziness. The second floor consists of three bedrooms, the smallest of which could be easily converted into a second bathroom.

Across Southside Rd is the Town Landing making it easy to launch boats of any size. Adjacent to the public space, a 16' strip of land leading to the waterfront is part of this property offering. There was a dock in place which was taken out during the January storms of 2024. The owner has obtained state approval to replace the dock that was lost. Town approval is pending. Once approved, permits are transferable to new owners.

The location is rich in amenities. Lots to do! Pemaquid Point with its crashing surf and famous lighthouse, Pemaquid Beach, C. E. Reilly's Store, the ice cream stand, Shaws Restaurant, and the Hardy Boat with daily trips to Monhegan Island and sightseeing tours for puffins and local scenery are all conveniently close by. The Contented Sole restaurant is easily accessed on a foot path across the street. Lovely walks abound.
