About this home
ONE OF ORLEANS' MOST SPECTACULAR MARSH SETTINGS. Perched above the ever-changing beauty of Rock Harbor Creek, this exceptional property showcases breathtaking panoramic marsh views that evolve with every season. From sunrise to unforgettable sunsets, enjoy a front-row seat to osprey, great blue herons, and abundant wildlife from nearly every room. Just moments from Rock Harbor, stroll the tidal flats, watch the charter fishing fleet return, or explore nearby Orleans Village. The flexible floor plan offers a first-floor bedroom suite, living room with fireplace, full bath, and a light-filled family room with wide pine floors and walls of windows opening to an expansive wraparound deck. Upstairs, the private primary suite enjoys commanding views, while the finished walkout lower level provides ideal guest or bonus space. Outside, a fenced yard features a koi pond, hot tub, detached garage, and shed. Cosmetic updates will make this irreplaceable setting your own. (Select Photos are AI)
