Waterlot is a truly one-of-a-kind boathouse cottage, uniquely situated on its own private dock in the heart of New Harbor, Maine. Designed in 2013 as a thoughtfully crafted waterfront compound, this remarkable property spans more than 3,500 square feet across two connected homes and comfortably accommodates up to eight guests.

The compound includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, a gourmet kitchen, and a private pub — all offering stunning, ever-changing views of New Harbor. Waterlot was intentionally designed for guests who want to experience Maine’s working waterfront in comfort, style, and a contemporary setting that remains deeply rooted in Maine’s maritime character.

What truly sets Waterlot apart is its extraordinary outdoor setting. With sweeping 180-degree harbor views, guests are immersed in the sounds and rhythms of coastal life — bell buoys ringing, waves lapping against the dock, gulls overhead, and lobster boats coming and going with the tides. Kayak directly from the dock to explore rocky shores and quiet inlets, or simply relax and watch harbor life unfold. Friendly banter with neighboring lobstermen might even be rewarded with the freshest lobster you’ve ever tasted.

Arrival is part of the experience. Monument Lane, a private dirt road used for over a century by local fishermen, leads you to Waterlot’s commanding mid-harbor position. The architecture blends classic and contemporary Maine style, featuring a slanted metal roof, shingle and clapboard siding, a bright orange front door, and whimsical nautical details that immediately set the tone.

The Boathouse serves as the main residence and is entered on the second floor, where a fully open living space includes a gourmet kitchen, dining area for eight, living room, bathroom, and an outdoor deck. Expansive ceilings, large windows, and sliding doors create a light-filled space with uninterrupted harbor views. Thoughtful design details — from a custom chandelier to playful Maine-inspired décor — add personality throughout.

A custom spiral staircase leads to the lower level, where two sleeping areas are located. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, built-in storage, and ground-level harbor views with direct access to the dock. A second sleeping area offers a stylish double-over-double bunk bed suitable for both kids and adults, along with a workspace and water views. A large bathroom, laundry area, and multiple dock access points complete this level.

Just steps away across the dock sits the Pilot House, a more traditional nautical-inspired space featuring a second living room, a private pub, a queen bedroom, and a full bathroom. Designed as a cozy retreat within the compound, it’s ideal for movie nights, watching games, or enjoying a quiet evening by the water.

The dock itself is the third and most unforgettable living space. Extending 105 feet into New Harbor, it offers front-row access to authentic harbor life — from lobster boats unloading their catch to the quiet beauty of sunrise and sunset over the water.

Waterlot is not just a place to stay — it’s a rare opportunity to live directly within one of Maine’s most picturesque working harbors.
