PRICE REFRESHED! DEAL OF THE SUMMER! Welcome to "Castle in the Sands," a cherished oceanfront retreat situated on beautiful White Sand Beach. Lovingly maintained by the same family for generations, this two-story cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a property rich in history, tradition, and unforgettable memories. Each day begins with peaceful mornings on the patio, where breathtaking water views, gentle waves, and birdsong create the perfect backdrop for a cup of coffee. From spectacular sunrises to the dramatic beauty of passing thunderstorms over the water, the ever-changing coastal scenery provides a constant connection to nature. Designed for effortless waterfront living, days are spent enjoying time with family and friends, while evenings transition seamlessly into relaxed outdoor entertaining. The lighted patio creates an inviting setting for cocktails, casual meals from the grill, meaningful conversations, and cozy fires under the stars. An outdoor shower adds convenience after a day spent at the beach or on the water. For boating and fishing enthusiasts, the property offers the ability to keep a small boat on a mooring, making early morning fishing excursions both easy and enjoyable. Launching at dawn and returning in time for breakfast has long been one of the simple pleasures enjoyed at this special retreat. Capturing the true essence of waterfront living, this home is a place where weekends on the water, gatherings with loved ones, and life's simple moments become treasured memories. Offered for the first time outside the family, "Castle in the Sands" is ready to welcome its next owner and begin a new chapter of cherished traditions for generations to come. HOA charges are established annually by Quassy Municipality and are based on the budget required to maintain and support beach-related amenities. Annual charges average approximately $3,400 +/-.
