There is a specific kind of magic that happens where the land meets the deep waters of Blue Hill Bay. It’s a place where the rhythms of the tide dictate the pace of the day, and the history of the Maine coast is written right into the shoreline.

This week, Chelsea and I are featuring a property we have listed for sale, and a guest favorite in our short-term rental business, that captures that magic perfectly:

191 Woods Point Road.

A Modern Classic in the Historic Quarry District

While this residence was built in 2000, it sits on ground with deep roots. This area was once the heart of Blue Hill’s thriving granite industry. Looking out from the shoreline today, it’s peaceful and quiet, but a century ago, this was a hub of activity where local granite was loaded onto schooners to build landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge. Living here means owning a piece of that legacy.

Thoughtful Design: Living with the Seasons

The layout is thoughtful and practical for life on the water. You have a main-level primary suite and a great room designed for gathering, both opening onto the oceanside deck. The year-round porch, overlooking fields and forest, ensures you are always connected to beautiful views regardless of the weather. Whether it’s a quiet evening in the den or morning coffee on the deck, the home is built to embrace its surroundings.

Property Highlights:

• The Shoreline: Over 290 feet of private deep-water frontage—a true boater’s paradise.
• The View: Southerly views look out over the islands dotting the bay to Cadillac Mountain.
• Versatile Space: A finished basement room with its own private entrance, ideal for a home office, gym, or guest overflow.

Price: $1,949,000
