Classic Midcoast Cottages
Knox County stretches along the western shore of Penobscot Bay, from Thomaston and Rockland to Camden, Rockport and the islands of Vinalhaven and North Haven. Cottages here range from seasonal camps on the shore and on lakes to year-round homes in villages such as Tenants Harbor, Port Clyde and Owls Head. Many feature porches, wood interiors and views of the water, and some have been updated for four-season use. Size and systems vary widely, so it pays to confirm heating, insulation and water supply. Cates Real Estate can help you compare locations and seasonal versus year-round use. You can also browse waterfront homes in Rockland or water view homes in Camden.
