A two-home family compound in Roque Bluffs—with a built-in second dwelling that can help carry the place. Set on 10.5 private acres with four freshwater ponds, this Downeast property gives you a real main house, a separate 2019 cottage, and room for kids, parents, guests, or paying seasonal renters. Live in one, put family in the other, or let the second home offset the mortgage. Each residence has its own driveway, drilled well, sewer system, and electric service. Both are generator-ready. High-speed cable is available. You're in a quiet Roque Bluffs community with shared boat-launch access at Duck Cove on Little Kennebec Bay. Roque Bluffs State Park and the crescent beach on Englishman Bay are a short drive; Machias shops, services, and schools are about 15-20 minutes away. The family house (1990) Two-level contemporary cottage. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2,405 sq. ft. heated. First-floor bedroom and bath with multiple closets—easy for aging parents or a main-level suite. New kitchen with farmhouse sink, GE energy-saver appliances, wood-grain composite counters, and custom cabinetry. Four-season sunroom. Large upper bath with jetted tub. Laundry on the first floor, plus a second laundry hookup in the upstairs walk-in closet. Energy-efficient construction, metal roof, wraparound deck. Heated, insulated detached 3+ car garage with workbenches. 24' × 16' wood shed for equipment and toys. The second house (2019) Single-level ranch. 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 931 sq. ft. heated. Open concept with a four-season sunroom and attached garage designed for conversion into more living space. Natural fit for an in-law, adult child, caretaker, or short-term rental during the Downeast season. The land: Cleared and cultivated ground, four ponds, separate driveways, and enough space that the two homes feel like neighbors, not stacked units. Private, rural, and still close to the water and town.
