A December sunset at Porter's Landing


Porter's landing is one of Freeport's special places to live. It is all of 2 minutes from the retail area of Main street, yet it is a study in contract with the holiday shoppers marching around Main Street. I'm standing on the boat ramp at Porter's landing where I have launched my boat in past years. At high tide, it is the perfect place to put in a kayak or a canoe and paddle to the mouth of the Harraseeket or to Pettingill Park. The photo features another fine Michael Welsher house built 3 or 4 years ago for a woman who wanted a peaceful haven from the hustle-and-bustle of Boston. This house located on Cove Road has a perfect view of Falls Point marine and the boat launch. Currently, there is a house located at 1 Cove Road that was listed at $599,000 and went under contract in 10 days. I'll provide an update on that property in a future post.

Hi L.E.W Thanks very much for clarifying that you built this house and that your son had a role in helping you build it. I also like that yellow house across the street that Michael built. What a fantasitc view of the Harraseeket!
