We are pleased to present 19 Cunner Lane, Cape Elizabeth, an extraordinary oceanfront estate at Staples Point and an exceptional offering that stands among the most remarkable private coastal residences in Maine. Represented by Sam Michaud, this is a property defined by scale, setting, and rarity. The estate is currently the highest-priced listing in the state.
As you pass through the gated entrance, a sense of anticipation builds. The driveway winds past manicured lawns, hinting at the grandeur ahead. Then, the estate reveals itself, where bold ocean frontage meets crashing waves in a dramatic and unforgettable scene.
“It’s the pinnacle of Maine real estate,” says Michaud. “It is one of the few properties I have seen where you have to pinch yourself that a property like this really exists. Just breathtaking,” he added.
Located in the coastal community of Cape Elizabeth, the setting adds to the property’s appeal, offering unspoiled shoreline, protected landscapes, and convenient access to Portland. With its lighthouses, coastal trails, and ocean views, Cape Elizabeth is one of Maine’s most sought-after areas, where privacy, natural surroundings, and accessibility come together.
The expansive grounds unfold like a story of their own. Sculpted lawns stretch toward the rugged coastline, and each vantage point offers a new perspective of the sea. The sound of surf, the scent of salt air, and the endless horizon create a rhythm that is both powerful and peaceful.
“The house has a Nancy Meyers charm about it. Perfect house in the perfect location,” Michaud adds.
Envisioned by acclaimed architect Joe Waltman and constructed by Wright-Ryan, the residence reflects superior quality and timeless coastal design. Seven bedrooms and expansive living spaces are thoughtfully arranged to capture sweeping ocean views, creating a seamless connection between the home and its surroundings.
“Bold ocean views,” Michaud notes, describing a setting that is both rare and immersive. From the property, multiple lighthouses can be seen in the distance, including the iconic Portland Head Light, adding to the sense of place and coastal identity.
