3 Bedroom Cottage in Waldoboro
Historic Maine Farmhouse on 14 Acres – Fireplaces, Forest, Dark Skies
Dating to the early 1800s and thoughtfully modernized, this historic Maine farmhouse offers a rare combination of authenticity, comfort, and deep quiet. Set on 14 acres of forest and meadow in rural Waldoboro, the property is ideal for guests looking to slow down, disconnect from the city, and experience Maine across all four seasons.
The original house retains its wide pine floors, exposed beams, and working fireplaces, while a substantial addition (“the Barn”), completed in the 1980s, provides additional space and modern systems. The result is a home that feels rooted in history but functions comfortably year-round.
The House
The main living areas are warm and inviting, centered around original fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. A dedicated library and reading room with built-in bookshelves offers a quiet place to read or write, while the main living room is suited for conversation, board games, or evenings by the fire.
The kitchen is large, bright, and fully modernized, with ample counter space and contemporary appliances. It is well suited for real cooking, not just reheating. A dining area looks out over the lawn and gardens.
Sleeping arrangements include:
• Two private bedrooms
• A large loft with an additional bed and dedicated office/workspace area
The home comfortably accommodates up to six adults.
There is one full, modern bathroom, recently updated, with a double vanity and simple, clean finishes.
