create a landscape shaped over time rather than imposed all at once. “These are not generic landscape features,” Slocum notes. “They suggest a property shaped over time, with both ornamental and productive elements woven into the grounds.” The result is a property that feels rooted in the seasons and traditions of coastal New England, balancing cultivated gardens with the natural beauty of the waterfront surroundings. The estate’s relationship with Mussell Cove extends beyond the views. The protected waters provide immediate access to boating and kayaking, while the cove itself has become known locally for striped bass fishing throughout much of the year. According to Slocum, the shoreline environment creates “a setting that feels protected, natural, and deeply connected to the rhythms of coastal Maine: fishing, boating, bird life, tides, gardens, and open views toward Casco Bay.” Modern infrastructure has also been carefully integrated throughout the home. Whole-house air conditioning, a generator system, and dual-path internet connectivity with satellite failover provide the level of performance expected by buyers accustomed to residences in major metropolitan and international markets. These features allow the property to function comfortably as either a year-round primary residence or a seasonal retreat without compromise. Over the years, the estate has remained in the hands of a small group of long-term owners, including members of the McIlhenny family, adding another chapter to the property’s legacy of stewardship and privacy. Listed at $11 million, the offering stands apart within Maine’s luxury market for its combination of waterfront access, recreation, privacy, architectural history, and proximity to Portland. 127 Foreside Road is represented by Engel & Völkers Casco Bay Real Estate.
