For a few weeks each summer, we offer our beautifully designed home to people who are looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and the ocean.

The house is full of light and windows overlooking the upper harbor of South Freeport Maine, where you can watch the boats at anchor or the many ducks and wading birds along the shoreline. It manages to incorporate an open feel, with vaulted ceilings, with small and cozy spaces for conversation or reading.

It has four bedrooms and four baths, including two suites, all with heated tile floors. Gather around the gas fireplace for drinks or a book. Or sit and watch the world outside from the comfy chairs by the windows, or from the granite island's high chairs.

Just 2 miles from L.L. Bean and downtown Freeport, but a world apart from the crowds. 15 minutes from Portland or Brunswick. Extraordinary morning views to the east, across the harbor. Enjoy the slower pace of Maine this Christmas season with your family or friends.

Our house is available for only five weeks each summer, and two weeks at Christmas time, so don't delay.

We look forward to welcoming you to our house, which is our main home throughout the year.

Alan and Kristina
