The Eagle's Nest - Waldoboro, ME

Wake up to panoramic views of the Medomak River at this three-bedroom Waldoboro home, a private waterfront retreat with a gorgeous remodeled interior, a wrap-around deck, and direct access to the river, Muscongus Bay, and the open Atlantic Ocean to the south. Witness spectacular sunrises in the morning and gorgeous moon views at night.

Scenically secluded in an 11-acre meadow with wildflowers and fireflies, this two-level home sits on the western banks of the wide Medomak River five miles south of downtown Waldoboro. You'll be just a few paddles in your kayak (rented locally) from where Muscongus Bay meets the ocean, and 21 miles west of the restaurants and beautiful breakwater in downtown Rockland. From this special location, you might even spot bald eagles, ospreys, seals, bobolinks, and a variety of seabirds.

Follow the lengthy driveway to discover a remote piece of property with generous parking and an unrivaled waterfront position. Inside, you'll find an open living space that has been extensively remodeled with hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, lovely wood accents, and a wall of windows that overlook the water.

Come home from a day of kayaking to rest your tired limbs on the plush sofa, use the WiFi to post photos of your adventures, or play a game of cards around the modern glass coffee table. As your clothes spin in the washer/dryer, you can join your family for an evening in front of the large flatscreen cable TV.

When you're not enjoying breakfast at Moody's Diner just up the road, you'll have a well-equipped, fully renovated kitchen with all stainless steel appliances and plentiful counter space. Whip up some homemade blueberry pancakes, sit down to eat at the breakfast bar or six-person dining table, and use the dishwasher for easy clean-up. And when the weather's nice, cook up something tasty on the gas grill outside.

Spend your days canoeing and kayaking in the river, basking in the sunshine on the wrap-around deck, and enjoying the breathtaking bay and river views from the patio table. You'll have more than 400 feet of private tidal waterfront access with classic Maine granite rocks, tide pools, and mud flats. Back inside, you can curl up with a good book in the second sitting room and open the glass doors to let in the coastal breeze.

As many as six guests will sleep soundly in this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home. The open loft-style master bedroom, which overlooks the river and the great room below, has a king-size bed and a private renovated bathroom. The main floor features one bedroom with a queen bed and one with twin bunkbeds.

Thanks to its beautiful position along Route 1 in Midcoast Maine, Waldoboro is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts, hikers, and guests in search of quiet relaxation. Take a short drive into town for the morning to peruse the shops and restaurants on Main Street, or follow the river in your car, sailboat, or sea kayak to reach the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse 21 miles south.

Spend a day strolling the streets of downtown Rockland, where you can eat breakfast at the Home Kitchen Cafe or sit down for dinner at Primo, the farm-to-table restaurant of James Beard Award-winner Melissa Kelly. You'll also be just 26 miles west of Camden Hills State Park, which is renowned for its hiking trails, seaside views, and gorgeous autumn color. Nearby, you can visit Boothbay and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or even Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
