Luxury Woodland Retreat Near the Ocean Custom Built on 2.4 Acres Cape Elizabeth

Our beautiful passive-solar home sits on 2.4 acres, was custom built in 2022 and sits on a private road, nestled in the woods in Cape Elizabeth. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the charm of Maine with thoughtful nautical touches and decor throughout. Large windows in every room fill the home with natural light from sunrise to sunset.

The home was designed to let you enjoy nature while staying cosy indoors. Relax inside while watching friendly wildlife pass by, including deer, birds, turkeys, squirrels, and chipmunks.

The living room features a fireplace and a comfortable leather sectional, and opens to the dining area and kitchen—creating a warm, inviting space to gather. TVs are located in the living room, the owner’s suite, and the basement.

You’ll be just a short drive, bike ride, or Uber away from the iconic Portland Head Light, as well as the restaurants and shops of Portland. Best of all, you’re close to the ocean and Maine’s beautiful sandy beaches. This home is an ideal retreat for adults looking to relax and unwind.

As this is the owner’s primary residence, the home is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owner will be staying in a separate home on the neighbouring property (through the woods), so she will be nearby if you have any questions or need assistance, while you still enjoy complete privacy.

The garage can accommodate a small to medium-sized vehicle. During the summer months, the property is treated for ticks and mosquitoes to significantly reduce the bugs that can come with living in the woods. In the evenings, keep an eye out for fireflies or enjoy the peaceful sound of peepers from the nearby pond.

The upstairs bedrooms also feature newly installed shades for added privacy and relaxation. The three main bedrooms are upstairs, including the primary suite & ensuite, and one bedroom & extra living room in the daylight basement.

This was our second stay at Jocelyn's property. We have found our vacation spot in Maine! The home is beautiful, inside and out. The interior design is exquisite, to include panoramic windows, artwork, and nautical elements. The home is very clean, comfortable, and inviting. Communication with Jocelyn is hassle-free. The location is great: within 15 minutes of Portland and several beaches.

Dreamy Cape Elizabeth property close to everything. The stunning, peaceful setting cradled in the trees was accented by beautiful interior design- well appointed chef’s kitchen, 2 cozy tv rooms, main level laundry and charming, comfortable bedrooms and baths. Primary bath featured a standing tub with tree top views. Every room was adorned with sophisticated art and coastal artifacts. All the comforts of home, very clean, well manicured property. Such a great vacation rental- so much fun!

We just had a wonderful stay at Jocelyn's property. It was the perfect amount of space for my family of five (two adults and three high school/college aged children). The house was beautiful and located in a great neighborhood. The house itself is on a secluded road so you have lots of privacy, but at the same time was very convenient to everything that we wanted to do. Jocelyn is an excellent host. She was very quick to respond to any questions that I had and could not have been more accommodating. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to do a family getaway to Southern Maine.

Our group had a fantastic stay. The house was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The location is extremely private, located on a large, mostly forested lot. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the large deck, surrounded by nature. Jocelyn was very helpful and responsive, and provided a number of great suggestions for our trip!

Very comfortable modern home in a great location

A great place to stay in Cape Elizabeth. The house is off the beaten path enough to provide plenty of privacy and quiet, but close enough to everything around to enjoy everything the area has to offer (5-10 minutes to coast, 15 minutes to Portland). Very responsive and friendly host, everything was as advertised. We would recommend for anyone looking to visit the area.
