There are places where the Maine coast makes itself felt in every moment. Above the rugged shoreline of South Bristol this distinctive contemporary cottage offers a front-row seat to the raw beauty of the Atlantic, where waves crash against the rocks below and the ocean stretches toward the horizon.
