About this home
Steeped in the maritime history of Searsport, this remarkable circa-1850 estate is believed to have passed through the hands of the Nickels family, one of the town's prominent sea captain families whose legacy helped shape Maine's coastal heritage. Set on 4.27 acres, the property offers a rare blend of historic character, modern functionality, and exceptional opportunity.
The residence spans nearly 6,000 square feet and features 9 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 2 half baths. Grand formal rooms showcase period craftsmanship, including coffered ceilings, fireplaces, built-ins, wide-plank and patterned hardwood floors, and sun-filled spaces designed for gathering. An updated kitchen provides modern convenience while preserving the home's historic charm.
Outside, the grounds include paddocks, a large barn with two horse stalls, extensive storage and equipment space, and a finished upper-level entertainment hall ideal for events, recreation, or creative pursuits. An attached oversized bay accommodates boats, vehicles, and equipment, while a separate shed houses an outdoor boiler that may serve as an alternative heat source.
With its scale, layout, and supporting structures, the property presents a variety of potential uses, subject to municipal approvals and applicable regulations. Possibilities may include a luxury private residence, gentleman's farm, boutique bed and breakfast, wedding or event venue, retreat property, multigenerational living arrangement, or an owner-occupied residence with guest accommodations generating supplemental income.
Located along Penobscot Bay, the property enjoys convenient access to Moose Point State Park, the Penobscot Marine Museum, antique shops, local dining, and Belfast Harbor just minutes away. A rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Searsport history while creating its next chapter....
