Home #1: Waterfront Southport Home and Garden
Thu, 06/01/2023 - 7:30am

This stunning home on Pratts Island in Southport will present you with an exquisite mix of architecture, interior design and sweeping views. Your first glance will be through magnificent, curved mahogany front doors. Host­esses will direct you to the sunroom, kitchen and beyond. Outside, be sure not to miss how the stone barbecue, infinity pool, spa, and gazebo blend into the landscape. Sheepscot River views of Lower Mark Island and Seguin with its lighthouse are seen from the lower lawn.

The annual Home and Garden tour is a highlight of the summer season in the Boothbay Harbor area and a great way to gain an insider’s view of the natural beauty that surrounds us.

This year’s tour features five spectacular and fascinating homes and their surrounding gardens; and one beautiful garden. On the tour are architecturally significant homes with incredible views on Linekin Bay, the Damariscotta River and Southport’s Pratt Island, a charming cottage in Sprucewold and an 1840 Greek Cape Revival in Boothbay Harbor.

The mission of the club is to promote interest in the art and practice of gardening, education, and beautifi­cation of the Boothbay Region. We provide public buildings with window boxes, wreaths and plants and main­tain many public gardens in the area. Scholarships are provided for YMCA camperships and to college students who want to further their education in environmental studies. This Home and Garden Tour helps support and fund our community objectives.

Transportation will be provided on air-conditioned buses to each location on the tour.

Advance tickets go on sale starting June 1 for $35 at the Boothbay Harbor Chamber of Commerce located at 192 Townsend Avenue. The Chamber’s phone number is 207-633-2353.
