Early Opportunity

Few know about this.

For buyers seeking privacy, beauty, and direct access to the Maine coast, Rum Cove offers an extraordinary opportunity on Westport Island. Designed as a limited 27-lot subdivision, Rum Cove combines wooded properties with more than 90 acres of commonly owned land. The result is a setting that feels spacious and connected to the landscape. Gravel roads—including Rum Cove Road, Moose Walk, and Porcupine Lane—wind through the community, reinforcing its quiet Maine character.

An important feature at Rum Cove is shared community access to a deep-water dock and float on the Sheepscot River. Property owners can enjoy boating, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and wildlife watching directly from their community. The river leads north toward Wiscasset Harbor and south toward Sheepscot Bay, Boothbay, Georgetown, and the open Atlantic, approximately 9 to 11 nautical miles away by water.

Individual lots generally encompass several wooded acres, offering room to create a seasonal retreat or year-round island home. Waterfront and water-access opportunities provide the appeal of coastal living without sacrificing privacy and space. With its limited number of lots, extensive common acreage, waterfront amenities, and location, buyers have an opportunity to become part of the community while choices remain. Discover the possibilities at Rum Cove—and secure your place on Westport Island before this distinctive coastal neighborhood is fully realized.
