Rare opportunity to acquire Harris Point Shore Cabins, a one-of-a-kind waterfront hospitality property situated on approximately 3.98 acres along a private peninsula in Eastport, Maine. Extending into Passamaquoddy Bay, the property features approximately 1,500 feet of deep-water ocean frontage, panoramic views, shoreline access and a private dock.
The existing hospitality operation includes 10 waterfront cabins, eight motel-style guest rooms and 14 RV sites. Additional improvements include a three-bedroom, two-bath owner’s residence with office and attached two-car garage, a large two-story barn used for tools and storage, shared guest shower facilities, parking, open lawn areas, fire-pit and gathering spaces, and existing water, sewer and electrical infrastructure. The circular site layout provides separation between the cabin, motel and RV components while preserving waterfront access and views throughout the property.
Harris Point has remained in the same family for nearly 100 years and is now being offered due to the owners’ retirement. Current operations have been intentionally limited to approximately 100 days annually, with rates significantly below market and minimal operational optimization. The business has no dedicated website, online booking engine, OTA distribution, dynamic pricing or meaningful marketing program. Existing performance therefore does not reflect the full potential of the property, location or lodging inventory.
A new owner could pursue immediate revenue growth by increasing rates and occupancy, implementing professional management and revenue systems, launching direct online booking, adding third-party distribution and extending the operating season. The expansive lawn, waterfront setting and existing accommodations also create an opportunity to establish or expand venue operations for weddings, retreats, reunions, corporate gatherings and full-property buyouts.
Additional value may be created through cabin and motel upgrades, enhanced guest amenities, improved branding, winterization of select accommodations, reconfiguration of the RV area or future hospitality expansion, subject to applicable approvals. Alternatively, the property may appeal as a private family compound, corporate retreat or legacy oceanfront estate.
Located minutes from downtown Eastport—the easternmost city in the United States—the property benefits from limited local lodging supply, coastal tourism, boating, fishing, whale watching, cruise activity and convenient access to the Canadian border. Harris Point offers an irreplaceable waterfront setting with existing hospitality infrastructure and multiple pathways for repositioning, expansion and long-term value creation.

Currently seasonal hospitality operation with lean staffing - Facilities & Assets
- Harris Point occupies approximately 3.98 acres on a private peninsula with roughly 1,500 feet of deep-water frontage on Passamaquoddy Bay. The property includes 10 waterfront cabins, eight motel-style guest rooms, 14 RV sites with approximately 30-amp hookups, a three-bedroom/1.5-bath owner’s residence with office and attached two-car garage, a large two-story barn used for tools and storage, shared guest bathroom/shower facilities, private deep-water dock, shoreline access, parking, internal drives, open lawns and gathering areas. Existing water, sewer and electrical infrastructure supports current operations and provides a functional baseline for future improvements. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are subject to an agreed inventory.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Eastport and the broader Downeast Maine region are emerging as experience-driven coastal destinations, supported by demand for nature-based travel, boating, fishing, wildlife viewing, seasonal events and authentic New England getaways. Harris Point is minutes from downtown Eastport, near the Canadian border and positioned along the U.S. Route 1 coastal corridor. The immediate market has limited lodging inventory, while waterfront development faces meaningful barriers to entry. Eastport also benefits from cruise activity and growing interest in remote coastal destinations. Harris Point’s private peninsula, diverse lodging mix, RV infrastructure and approximately 1,500 feet of frontage create a differentiated offering that would be difficult to replicate.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The property offers substantial operational upside under professional ownership. Current rates are significantly below market, with no dedicated website, online booking engine, third-party booking channels, OTA distribution, dynamic pricing or marketing program. Longtime family ownership has intentionally limited operations to approximately 100 days annually despite demand for lodging in the area throughout the year. A new owner could increase rates and occupancy through professional management, modern booking and revenue systems, broader distribution, improved branding and an extended operating season. Additional opportunities include enhancing the existing waterfront gathering areas or creating dedicated venue space for weddings, retreats, reunions and corporate events, while upgrading accommodations and amenities to support higher average daily rates. The property has remained in the same family for nearly 100 years and is now being offered due to the owners’ retirement.
