Wildes Woodland Retreat | House in Kennebunkport
5 Bedroom House in Cape Porpoise, Kennebunkport
**NEW LISTING**
Welcome to Wildes Woodland Retreat — a refined five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom coastal home set on a private wooded lot located in Cape Porpoise, just minutes from Dock Square and the area’s most beautiful beaches.
Designed for gathering in comfort and style, the heart of the home is a breathtaking vaulted living room filled with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the trees, while a statement fireplace creates the perfect setting for cozy evenings after a day on the water. The spacious chef’s kitchen — complete with double ovens and generous prep space — makes hosting effortless. Designed for both celebration and everyday moments, this kitchen effortlessly hosts everything from holiday dinners to casual weekend breakfasts. With five beautifully appointed bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including a thoughtfully designed studio suite situated above the garage for added privacy and quiet, yet still part of the home, the property comfortably accommodates extended families or multiple families traveling together. There’s space to come together — and space to retreat. Step outside to a sprawling backyard surrounded by trees, ideal for lawn games, for children to play freely, with a climbing gym, for morning coffee in the quiet, or for sunset cocktails under the stars by the fire.

Walk or bike to Land’s End to kayak, explore tidal pools, or take in sweeping ocean views
