The open-ocean, panoramic views from the 'Backshore' of Peaks Island abound from every part of the front of the house, while the back of the house is nestled in by lush green local plants and tall birch trees. Ocean House is located right across the street from 'Whaleback,' a well-known whale-shaped rock formation landmark on the island, and next to a unique WWII range station, with ocean views for miles. The house is set back from the street and elevated, and is purposefully surrounded by a lush green natural thicket of local plants, which provides both excellent views of the ocean, boats, and people, but also wonderful, peaceful privacy.

Peaks Island is technically a part of Portland, Maine, though feel like a world of its own. Nicknamed 'the Coney Island of Maine' in the 19th century for its appeal as a tourist destination, it has continued to welcome summer visitors from around the world who come to enjoy its peacefulness, beauty, connection to the ocean and nature, WW2 historical landmarks, and its easy proximity to all the culture, cuisine, history, and outdoor adventures that Portland, Maine and surrounds have to offer.

Come give yourself the gift of a beautiful place to explore and recharge, and see why one of Maine's State mottos has been "Maine: The Way Life Should Be."

Hi! Raised in Maine, I had been coming to Peaks Island for years and dreaming of owning a place on this beautiful and special island. When the opportunity to purchase Ocean House arose, even though the house needed a lot of TLC, we jumped at the chance. It's undergone a number of major renovations to get it to the beautiful, comfortable place it is now, with more to come!
