Enjoy the sights and sounds of the East Machias River from
this cute little dustpan roof cape. Large deck and views from the house make
this a great little Airbnb or rental home. Otherwise just a perfect smaller
home. Kitchen, dining, living room and a large full bath with laundry on the
first floor. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms and a good amount of storage space. Home
has a recent steel roof and new drilled well. Home sits across from the park on
Water St and is just down the road from Washington Academy. Easy access to the
Rails to Trails.
East Machias was settled in 1763 and incorporated in 1826
and has a population of about 1300 people. Early in the fall of 1762, Isaiah
Foster and Isaac Larrabee and others came from Scarborough to explore for
sources of hay, sites for sawmills, and areas for possible settlement. They
eventually reached Machias and were impressed with the area’s possibilities. An
association was formed to build a double sawmill at Machias (now the town of
Machias). The associates, including Sylvanus Scott, Isaiah Foster and Isaac
Larrabee, took their families and came to Machias in April of 1763. Joel Bonney
and Woodin Foster were hired carpenters to go along. Their small vessel arrived
on the 20th of May 1763, anchoring first at the Rim in what is now East
Machias.
The little settlement prospered and in 1765 more settlers
arrived. By this time many of the settlers had established themselves at East
Falls, now East Machias. Samuel Scott, a brother of Sylvanus Scott, Woodin
Foster, Benjamin Foster, Daniel Fogg and others erected the first sawmill at
East Machias in 1765 and lived in East Machias. Sylvanus Scott settled on the
Rim in East Machias. The Rim was known as Scotts point at that time.
Home is just under the hill from Washington Academy, a
popular semi-private high school established in 1792. The area has many
attractions to keep you entertained or to spark an interest as a vacation
rental.
East Machias has public boat ramps at both Hadley Lake and
Gardner Lake as well as being close to many of the other area lakes for anyone
who enjoys the water. Then for the ocean lovers, it is also close to Jasper
Beach in Machiasport with its rolling surf and the wonderful sounds of the
water rolling the rocks. Roque Bluffs is about 20 min away and offers a long
sand beach as well as a freshwater pond and picnic area.
If you enjoy snowmobiles or ATV rides, the Downeast Rails to
Trails system is just across the river from the property and runs from
Charlotte to Ellsworth. Besides recreational vehicles, it’s great for walking,
bike riding, cross-country skiing or horseback riding.
There are many parks, beaches and hiking trails in the
nearby communities. A few of them are: The Bold Coast Trails in Cutler &
the Great Wass trails on Beals Island. Area lighthouses are also a great source
of local history and sightseeing.
