luxury real estate for rent Castine, United States

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to present 35 Old Fields Way in Castine, Maine. Set on 22.4 private acres with an extraordinary 1,300 feet of owned shoreline along the tranquil Bagaduce River, this rare offering delivers a compelling blend of privacy, scale, and authentic Maine coastal living. The calm, protected waters and sweeping, ever-changing views create a timeless setting for both refined relaxation and memorable gatherings. Ideally located, the property is just over an hour from Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and Camden, offering access to some of Maine’s most celebrated destinations while maintaining a quiet, residential feel. The main residence is thoughtfully designed to capture water views from nearly every room. Grand yet welcoming, the home features six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and one half bath, including a spacious primary suite. Additional highlights include formal living and dining rooms ideal for entertaining, a chef’s kitchen, a private office with custom built-ins, and a comfortable family room centered around a wood stove. Architectural detail and fine craftsmanship are evident throughout, striking a balance between elegance and livability. Recreational amenities include a pool table, large movie screen, and flexible spaces. Outdoors, the estate unfolds into rolling lawns, gardens, and meandering shoreline paths—perfect for lobster bakes, lawn games, summer barbecues, and intimate celebrations. Evenings are best enjoyed on the porch beside the stone fireplace, cocktail in hand, as boats drift along the river and the sun sets over the water. Water access is a defining feature of this property. The shoreline offers steps leading down to the water with a small beach area. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming can be enjoyed directly from the shore, and boat rentals and guided kayaking excursions are readily available in Castine. For boating and sailing enthusiasts, this estate is unmatched, a protected deep-water frontage (approximately 100 ft depth) and a private mooring. Despite its privacy, the estate is only moments from the historic village of Castine, known for its charming shops, waterfront dining, cultural landmarks, and its iconic Fourth of July parade—offering small-town coastal charm without the crowds. A discount is offered for payment made via check or wire transfer instead of via credit card. Please contact Legacy Properties Sotheby's International Realty directly for more details.
