Property Description
Where the River Meets Beach Life. Riverfront tranquility just moments from Higgins Beach. Tucked away on a private road on Harmon's Island, Badger Cottage offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the peaceful side of Higgins while remaining just a walk, paddle, or bike ride from the beach. Cherished by generations, it's now ready for its next chapter. Set on a spacious lot where the Spurwink River and Angel Creek converge, this classic 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage captures everything people love about summers in Maine. Begin your mornings watching the sunrise over the river as wildlife comes to life, spend the day at Higgins Beach, then return home to unwind with loved ones as another beach day comes to a close. Inside, built-ins add charm and function, while a fireplace creates a cozy gathering place on cooler coastal evenings. Comfortable living spaces invite you to relax after a day exploring the coast. Outside, the generous yard, patio, and storage shed provide plenty of space for entertaining, storing beach gear, playing lawn games, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. One of the cottage's most unique features is its direct access to the tidal Spurwink River, making it easy to launch a kayak or paddleboard and explore one of Higgins Beach's most scenic waterways. Surrounded by nature yet just moments from the beach, it's a setting that offers both privacy and adventure. Whether you're looking for a peaceful coastal escape, a property with an established rental history, or simply a place where mornings begin on the river and afternoons end at the beach, Badger Cottage offers a lifestyle that's uniquely Higgins.
