Magic in Machiasport, $294K

Looking out onto Machias Bay, this classic 1798 New England Cape Cod commands 360 feet of oceanfront from a 5.7-acre lot. “ e original builders knew what they were doing,” says listing agent Elizabeth Marks.

“ is house has survived over 200 years of climate change and still stands strong today.” e working (with a little TLC) Queen Atlantic woodstove once used as the main heating source is still the centerpiece of the kitchen with 15-foot vaulted ceiling, central brick chimney, and hutch with built-in breadboxes.

Only eight minutes away from Burnham Tavern Museum, the Patriot HQ during the rst naval battle of the American Revolution, this four-bedroom, one-bath home is part of Machiasport history.

Branching out, the sunroom’s windows provide year-round views of the 90-plus lobster boats that sh out of Machiasport, and when you’re not noodling on the antique upright piano with the coastline of Randall Point directly across the bay, you’re sure to see deer exploring your yard full of tall spruce trees, seasonal wild owers, eagles soaring past, and seals swimming by.

Taxes are $1,144.

Calling all fishermen, kayakers, canoers: an acre of land with 340 feet of St. Croix River frontage at 132 River Road in Calais can be yours for just under $200,000. “ e tides here are dramatic—around 24 feet,” says listing agent Samra Kuseybi of e Christopher Group in Blue Hill. “You have a big beach when the tide’s out—and when it’s in, you don’t.” Not to mention a huge deck and sunroom overlooking the river right outside your back door, plus easy access to nearby lakes and hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing trails in 20,000-acre Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge

Should you need to ee the country, you’re only six minutes from Canada and a subtly dif- ferent Tim Hortons menu. e c. 1900 farmhouse on the property needs a new boiler to be fully winterized, but Kuseybi says the roof and siding are sound. “You don’t realize when you’re driving by how roomy it is, until you go upstairs and there’s four bedrooms and another full bathroom.” With business/ residential zoning right on Route 1, you can start a sideline antique shop or pie stand while you telecommute in peace and quiet. Apple orchard included. n

Taxes are $2,233.
