Did Louise like yachting? “No.Thatwasallmyhusband'sthing.” Instead, she was intrigued by Maine against the sea. “Do you see where the swimming pool is, with the landscaping” that slopes down to the water? It’s almost grotto-like. Indoors, “I love the kitchen,” Louise says. When hosting family shindigs, her star is “Lobster. For some parties, friends would come from California.” "My favorite place is the sauna" in the master bedroom that looks over the water. You can see forever. Louise and Spencer lived at Bold- water year-round, for roughly “15 years,” Prin Allen says. In 2003, she and Spencer moved to spend winters together in Palm Beach, but he passed away. “I was last in Maine in No- vember,” she says. Lately, she’s been up here largely during the summer. Did Louise ever visit the Boun- ty after 1962? Fate brought the ship here, too, as she often visited Maine and was here for repairs just before sailing down the Eastern Seaboard toward her doom. [See our story: “Mutiny on the Bounty,” April 2013.] “Not in Maine," Louise says. "But in the year 2000, the Bounty was in Aus- tralia, and my husband and I saw her. We were cruising on an ocean liner to spend New Year’s at sea. We started out of Paris [she pronounces it à la française] and went across the world to all kinds of places… Australia, Indonesia, finally to…Tahiti.” the lady in the White Cape Brooklin isn’t just famous for its boat- ing. It’s famous for early 20th-century writ- ers such as E.B. White and Boldwater's first noted owner/resident, Anne D. Kyle, who cape was moved from its oceanfront perch to the entrance of the 38.6-acre tract. From that day forward, it’s been called instead, “The Gatehouse.” Then, with a Blue Hill architect, Spencer and Louise dreamed up the new Boldwater that stands today as the property for sale. T ahiti is one kind of paradise. Boldwater is another. Built in 1980, this 14,375-square-foot, six-bedroom luxury retreat has “10 fire- places, hand-painted murals, paneled li- brary, generous windows, and attached so- larium" where Tahiti bloomed under glass year-round. The listing sheet ticks off the “Guest Cottage, Gatehouse, oceanfront pool with pool house, apple orchard, enor- mous greenhouse, and dock.” There are five full baths, three half baths. Blue Hill may not be a major metropol- itan market, but you have to wonder: Did community theatre directors ever shyly ap- proach Louise and ask her to appear in one of their productions like Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon or The Fantasticks? “No!” She laughs. “My husband thought ‘the movies’ just meant a bunch of cra- zy people. He swept me away just as I got started, and that's that.” The story revolves around a young american expat, Cherry Carstairs. ...About The Gatehouse
