“Mussell Cove is one of the defining features of the estate,” says Slocum. “The home overlooks the cove on two sides, so the water is not merely a view corridor; it is part of the estate’s daily experience.” Inside the home, the kitchen, dining room, family room, upstairs primary suite, and additional bedrooms all capture views of the water, while the grounds provide open-air vantage points across the cove and toward Casco Bay. Inside, the residence is designed to support both large-scale entertaining and everyday living. The eight-bedroom home includes expansive gathering spaces filled with natural light, along with a fitness gym, wine cellar, and six-and-a-half baths. Offered fully furnished, the property is ready for immediate occupancy, with details such as a Steinway grand piano reflecting the home’s long-standing role as a place for hosting and connection. The estate also carries a strong architectural connection to Maine’s coastal heritage. The original farmhouse dates back to 1888 and remains incorporated into the residence today, forming part of the home with a den and additional guest bedrooms that preserve a tangible connection to the property’s 19th-century origins. Around that historic core, the residence has evolved into a refined coastal estate with Colonial and farmhouse influences, blending clapboard construction, fireplaces, built-ins, and generous gathering spaces with modern comforts suited for contemporary family living. A newly built detached carriage house expands the estate’s recreational possibilities. Designed to accommodate three vehicles, the structure also includes a half indoor basketball court and pickleball court, creating a year-round activity space that supports multi-generational living and extended stays. The addition reflects the broader versatility of the property, where waterfront leisure and active living exist side by side. The grounds contribute another layer to the estate’s identity.
