A Rockport, Maine Portfolio Offering
886, 898 and 904 Commercial Street, Rockport, ME 04856

This immaculate two-portfolio sister property sits on an 11 acre oceanfront hillside estate in Rockport, Maine, offering 42 rooms, two heated pools, one with vanishing edge, thoughtful landscaping, expansion opportunity, and a beautiful view of Ram Island and Penobscot Bay.

A true bonus at this offering is the beautiful manager or owner’s apartment, with newly remodeled kitchen with granite, large island which opens to the great room featuring a wall of picture windows facing the ocean. There’s a full bedroom with ensuite bath, plus a hall bath, and office area. This can be rented as a luxury short or long term suite to add to the revenue stream.

Total of 21 units at Strawberry Hill Inn, all in one building. At Island View Inn: the large building has 15 units; the next building to the north has 3 rental units + owner’s quarters (with the infinity pool); the small building to the north of that has 3 units (one is a suite that is part of the rental pool, the other 2 units upstairs are occupied by the owner’s family). 40 of the 42 units are being rented at the present time.

Rockport is located on the western shore of Penobscot Bay, a large and picturesque bay in the Gulf of Maine. This gives it a significant maritime character, with a working harbor just 3 miles south in Rockland, and access to numerous islands.

It’s a key city within the Midcoast region, an area known for its scenic coastline, historic towns, and artistic communities. It also serves as a departure point for the Maine State Ferry Service, providing access to islands like Vinalhaven, North Haven, and Matinicus.

In essence, Rockport’s location on Penobscot Bay makes it a gateway to the islands and a focal point for coastal activities, while its position within Midcoast Maine provides access to a rich blend of cultural and natural attractions.

Strawberry Hill Seaside Inn and Island View Inn are located:
    3 miles from Rockland
    5 miles from Camden
    28 miles from Damariscotta
    43 miles from Boothbay Harbor
    80 miles from Portland
    80 miles from Bar Harbor
    110 miles from Moosehead Lake
And just minutes to the Owl’s Head and Rockland Breakwater Lighthouses.

The Strawberry Hill and Island View Portfolio represent a rare opportunity to acquire a proven, income-producing hospitality portfolio in one of midcoast Maine’s most sought-after, Route One coastal destinations.

Both properties enjoy consistently strong seasonal occupancy fueled by steady tourism demand, alongside growing off-season business. Strawberry Hill has been operated year round, but new owners could also keep Island View open year round as well.
 
With expansive and scarce waterfront acreage, impeccably maintained buildings and grounds, clear potential for further development, and a prime location near premier coastal attractions, this portfolio offers immediate revenue strength and exceptional long-term appreciation potential in a market with very limited waterfront competition.

While not currently in the rental pool, this exceptional manager's apartment has strong potential as a high-ADR offering. The residence features thoughtful custom finishes throughout, a spacious open kitchen with granite countertops and a large dining island, an open-concept living and dining area framed by picture windows with sweeping views of the property and water beyond. Additional highlights include a versatile den, a generous bedroom with en-suite bath, a convenient half hall bath, and a private deck—perfect for enjoying those stunning water views.
