Along the water’s edge in Machiasport, this deeply private 14.98-acre holding traces 1,885 feet of tidal frontage on the East Machias River, a saltwater river flowing out to Machias Bay and the open ocean. The shoreline wraps the entirety of Stevens Cove, lending the setting a quiet, sheltered feel. A 1,000-foot driveway leads to a prime building site with broad southern views downriver, while the land itself shifts from gently sloping blueberry fields toward the shore to wooded areas that add seclusion and natural texture. Practical improvements are already in place, with a drilled well and power on-site, plus potential for additional building sites. Though it reads as a retreat, shops, restaurants, a hospital, and the University of Maine at Machias remain a short drive away—an easy balance of solitude and connection.
