Let’s travel to five bargain-basement oceanfront properties for under $225,000. By Kate Odden Maine Coast, Canadian Mist I f you’ve ever dreamed of running away to Canada, here’s how to do it without a visa! In Eastport, you can open your curtains to a foreign country ev- ery morning. This three-bedroom, two- bathroom home on the eastern shore of Moose Island is just a stone’s throw from the Canadian border. Gaze across the ex- panse of Passamaquoddy Bay to New Brunswick’s Campobello Island, former playground of the Roosevelt clan, with No- va Scotia not far beyond. Built in 1897, 173 Water Street was once “the Eastport Gas Company and a general store,” according to Barba- ra Wilson of Due East Realty. Listed at $185,000, the residence has undergone extensive renovation, including major work on the foundation, windows, and roof, all to make it a “healthy and cot- tage-like” home. Set on a postage stamp of land (.08 acres), the house nonetheless faces straight onto beachfront. The neighboring pub- lic boat launch and ferry landing keep you in touch. Inside, the house feels spacious thanks to an open-concept floor plan, ca- thedral ceilings, and picture windows placed for giant sea views, including “a view of at least six islands from the dining room table.” Taxes are $1,455. $129.5K PeaCe On the PennaMaquan I f you dream of a home nestled on Maine’s craggy coastline without the exposure to merciless At- lantic conditions, drive as far east as roads will allow and seek sanctuary in this two- bedroom, two-bathroom steal at 1 Har- dy Point Road in Pembroke. Tucked into a nook of Cobscook Bay, where the Pennam- aquan River meets the ocean, the $129,000 cottage has gray cedar shakes and flashes of springtime lupine rushing the waterline of this .62-acre property. Built in 1900, the dwelling has seen ex- tensive renovation in the past 30 years: “The owners bought it as a vacation home, an es- cape from work, but they found themselves increasingly putting more work into it un- til it was all basically redone,” says Jessica Thompkins-Howard of Due East Real Es- tate. Both the large living room and sun- room, which extend out from the house, benefit from wall-to-floor windows, allow- ing you to take in the river and tree-lined bank opposite. Taxes are $1,593.
