Seascape Motel and Cottages
Belfast, Maine
For over 50 years the Seascape Motel and Cottages of Belfast, Maine has been making guests feel welcome. And now, the newly rebranded Seascape with a contemporary, hip vibe, is on the market!
There’s no shortage of things to do and places to explore from Seascape’s central location and traveling in any direction is easy from the Seascape. The property is located on coastal US Route 1, offering ideal roadside visibility, just minutes from Belfast’s historic downtown and picturesque harbor, area attractions, and Acadia National Park. Belfast has really grown in recent years, with a number of new shops, restaurants and breweries. The harbor and marina have also grown, with vessels of all sizes, and of course a traditional lobster pound is never far.
Situated on 21 acres, with about 17 undeveloped, perfect for expansion. There are a total of 10 buildings: 1 seven-unit motel building, 7 rental cottages, 1 office cottage (all built in 1951), and the owner’s house. The main house was built in 1918 and is fully insulated for year round living ~2,588 sf and has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, spacious living room with woodstove, picture window, ocean view with gorgeous kitchen, radiant heat ceramic tile floors, granite counters, gas Bertazzoni stove. Attached 3-car heated, insulated and finished garage with bathroom is a great convenience.
This is a great opportunity for a new buyer looking for a job, lifestyle, business investment and great midcoast Maine location!
There are some wonderful old photos showing the house and cottages before some of the cottages (in the back) were moved and connected to become the motel units as they are today.
