Historic riverfront home with boathouse & private dock - dogs OK | Cabin in Boothbay
4 Bedroom Cabin in Trevett, Boothbay
Settle into a piece of coastal Maine history at this simple, classic waterfront cottage on Sawyer's Island in Boothbay. Built in 1832 as the home of sea captain John Kent, the house has been part of the island landscape for nearly two centuries. It later became home to the Sawyer Island Art Studio of artist Joseph Bailey Ellis, whose sculptures remain on exhibit at Carnegie Mellon University.
This is an older Maine home with character, history, and plenty of vintage touches. Antiques, period pieces, original details, and traditional furnishings have been intentionally kept throughout the cottage. The home is not new or modern, but offers a comfortable and memorable place to slow down and enjoy the coast.
Outside, the setting is the highlight. The 2.5-acre property is surrounded by water on three sides, with open lawns, mature shade trees, a boathouse, and a private dock. Walk across the lawn to the boathouse to sit by the water, watch the changing tides, or enjoy the evening sunset. Bring your kayaks and launch from the dock for a paddle around the island, where you may spot seals, seabirds, and other coastal wildlife.
Part of the property is also dedicated to native Maine wildflowers and pollinator habitat. Seasonal pathways wind through the meadow, where butterflies, fireflies, and other pollinators can be seen throughout the warmer months. The property participates in Monarch Watch and Firefly Watch programs, and nature guides are available inside the cottage for guests interested in exploring the area.
