Where 156 Acres of Protected Coastline Becomes Your Backyard
999 Cape Jellison Road exterior
Live where others vacation... Step through your walk-out basement directly onto the groomed trails of Fort Point State Park and hike to the ocean, crossing moss covered colonial field stone walls on the way to the remains of Revolutionary War Fort Pownal, Fort Point Lighthouse or fishing pier. This very unique property with updated 1915 New Englander is the last privately owned parcel on the east Cape road sharing a border-free boundary with state protected parkland. Enjoy morning coffee with Atlantic sunrises washing over the 30' deck while bald eagles and ospreys soar overhead. Use the park's curated trails or blaze your own way through aprox. 1,000 feet of Maine woods to the ocean's edge at Grant's Cove, where the Penobscot River becomes the bay.

Entrepreneurial Potential

Stockton Springs operates under a Food Sovereignty Ordinance. Capitalize on park visitors with a farm stand, baked goods, or home-based artisanal production. Steps from the park, the house is also a natural fit for VRBO or Airbnb income in peak season. Alternatively, the walk-out basement makes a perfect staging hub for a kayak or bicycle rental business.
