Welcome to Mears Cove Retreat, a peaceful waterfront escape nestled in one of Walpole's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods. Set on over two private acres overlooking the beautiful Damariscotta River, this thoughtfully designed home offers the perfect setting for an extended stay, seasonal retreat, or temporary home base while experiencing the very best of Midcoast Maine.

Whether you're planning an extended getaway, relocating to the area, working remotely, or looking for a seasonal home in coastal Maine, Mears Cove Retreat offers the comfort and flexibility to make yourself at home.

Designed to comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, the home features three spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two full bathrooms on the primary level and an additional full bathroom and half bathroom on the lower level. The lower-level sitting room also provides additional sleeping space with a queen-size pull-out sofa bed. A first-floor primary suite offers the convenience of one-level living, while warm, inviting interiors are complemented by expansive windows that frame picturesque river views throughout the home.

The cathedral-ceiling great room provides an open and welcoming gathering space, while the formal living room with a cozy fireplace invites you to unwind after a day on the water. One of the home's most treasured spaces is the bright four-season sunroom—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, working remotely, or simply watching sailboats drift along the river. As evening approaches, relax on the property and enjoy spectacular western-facing sunsets that paint the sky over the Damariscotta River.

The well-appointed kitchen is designed for comfortable extended stays and features a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, along with a brand-new range and dishwasher.

Outside, mature oak trees and beautifully landscaped grounds create a peaceful, private setting where guests can truly disconnect and recharge.

Just a short stroll away, guests enjoy access to the Mears Cove Association's shared deepwater dock, float, and mooring field, making this an exceptional destination for boaters and paddlers alike. Launch your kayak or paddleboard, spend the day fishing for striped bass, or explore the scenic twelve-mile Damariscotta River by boat. Cruise into downtown Damariscotta for lunch, visit the area's renowned oyster farms, or venture downriver toward Christmas Cove, East Boothbay, and the open Atlantic.

Perfectly situated just minutes from Damariscotta and Newcastle, you'll enjoy easy access to boutique shopping, art galleries, local coffee shops, award-winning restaurants, farmers markets, golf at Wawenock Golf Club, hiking trails, lighthouses, and some of Maine's most beautiful coastal villages.
