7 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Privacy. Serenity. Sanctuary. Security. Presenting The Woodside Estate, a rare and secluded 16-acre Cape Elizabeth property bordered by 200 acres of conservation land with recreational trails leading directly to the Atlantic Ocean and Portland Headlight. The white clapboard estate, gardens and artisanal stonework blend perfectly with the natural setting. Fountains interspersed on the grounds quietly serenade while inside beautifully conceived formal and casual spaces provide the perfect platform for gracious social gatherings and events. The primary suite, with floor-to-ceiling windows that stretch upwards to the coffered ceiling above, draw the calming majesty of the landscaped and natural grounds into beautiful focus. It features two bathrooms, two dressing rooms, a conservatory sunroom and stone terrace. Extensive marble adorns one of the custom showers while the soaking tub in the other follows the architectural lines of the oversized bay window and cove ceiling. A dramatic wood paneled library adjacent to the primary suite boasts gorgeous soaring ceilings and windows. The lower level in this wing is dedicated to wellness and entertainment featuring a home theater, sunshine-filled gym with floor to ceiling windows and opening to one of several outside landscaped patios. A sauna, steam room, locker room, and hydro plunge bath round-out this extraordinary health and wellness space. A separate art studio is located off to the side of the main house. This legacy woodland compound is only 15 minutes from Portland, which boasts a nationally recognized dining and cultural scene, less than 2 hours from Boston and 20 minutes from the Portland airport with daily direct flights to major cities.
