We are pleased to introduce Heatherstone, a timeless estate located at 2 and 5 Heatherstone Lane in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Listed by Anne Bosworth & Andrea Pellechia, the home is set on 5.2-acres with mature trees and expansive gardens. This architectural masterpiece, designed in 1916 by the esteemed John Calvin Stevens, seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. Thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original integrity, the home boasts over 7,000 square feet of living space, five fireplaces, a 3,000-bottle wine cellar, pool with pool house and separate 3-car garage, offering a truly refined lifestyle. Having hosted a variety of notable guests, from Hollywood actors to government dignitaries, the property exudes a timeless allure. The outdoor space invites relaxation with a stunning in-ground gunite pool and pool house, while a three-bedroom guest house with a striking stone fireplace provides an ideal retreat. Adding to its appeal, the estate enjoys the exclusive rights to join a private beach association, making this property an unparalleled coastal sanctuary.
“Properties of this significance are rare,” says co-listing agent Anne Bosworth. “The blend of privacy, historical charm, and modern amenities, along with its proximity to the ocean and access to a private beach, make this a one-of-a-kind offering.”
When you step inside the open foyer with grand staircase, you are taken back in time to when the home welcomed guests, including legendary actors Bette Davis, Gary Merrill, and James Cagney, for weddings and events. A front-to-back formal living room with coffered ceiling leads to a more informal sunroom fully wrapped in windows to invite in the ocean breeze. The kitchen is designed for the modern cook with a granite island, walk-in food pantry, casual eat-in area, butler’s pantry, and built-in window seats with views of the pool and gardens. A family room with original floor-to-ceiling wainscoting and fireplace is conveniently located off the kitchen, as is the formal dining room.
The second floor boasts four large bedrooms, two with fireplaces and three en-suite. The gracious primary suite features a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, custom walk-in closet, and bath with steam shower and double vanities. A stairway leads to the third floor with three versatile spaces that can serve as a home office, gym, additional bedroom, or playroom, and a balcony off the middle space with views of the back patio, gardens, and Casco Bay beyond.
The guest house, built in 2001, is nestled in a serene and private 0.9-acre lot. With a breathtaking two-level stone fireplace, vaulted ceiling, three bedrooms, and a yard surrounded by stone walls and woods, it is a true retreat. This remarkable property includes the rights to join the Cape Cottage Beach Association and is minutes to downtown Portland and two hours by car to Boston.
Heatherstone is more than just a home—it is a historical masterpiece.
