Palom Aquaculture LLC is offering 40 acres on Corea Road, Gouldsboro, Maine, on the Schoodic Peninsula. About 700 feet separate the edge of Lot 1 from the shore of Prospect Harbor. A yacht could stay on a mooring in the harbor, and the owner’s family could come ashore by tender. The land is a former U.S. Navy communications station. It has open ground, existing buildings, and three-phase electric service. All of the buildings need major renovation. This page describes the property as it stands today and how a private owner might use it.
Prospect Harbor is a working harbor on the Downeast Maine coast, with a lighthouse on its shore. A large yacht would stay on a mooring in the harbor, and the family would go ashore by tender.
An owner who wants to avoid public landings could explore a small private tender dock on the property. The Town of Gouldsboro and state and federal agencies would need to approve a dock. Palom has not applied for one. The two utility easements to the ocean were obtained for utility lines, not for a dock. Until a dock is approved, tenders could use existing public landings in the area, such as Corea.
Full disclosure: Palom has not confirmed that a large yacht can get a mooring in Prospect Harbor. A buyer’s captain should check with the harbormaster for mooring availability, depth, and exposure.
The property has more than 65,000 square feet of existing buildings: Building 85 (about 20,000 square feet), the Lot 4 building (about 45,000 square feet, per the Gouldsboro town hall property card), and Building 153. In Palom's own observation, the walls and floors look structurally adequate, and the roofs need replacing. That is an observation, not an engineering report.
A buyer could explore converting some of the space for guest quarters, staff housing, vehicle and boat storage, or a workshop, or clearing the buildings and building new. Each of these would need approvals. Palom has not confirmed what the Town of Gouldsboro's land-use rules allow for a private residence on this site, and a buyer should confirm before buying.
Full disclosure: all buildings require major renovation, including roof replacement.
The property is in Gouldsboro, on the Schoodic Peninsula. The villages of Corea, Prospect Harbor, and Birch Harbor, and the town of Winter Harbor, are on the peninsula, and Acadia National Park includes a Schoodic section on the same peninsula. The coast here is rocky, with working harbors and fishing villages.
Palom will deliver clean, insurable title at closing, backed by title insurance.
The property also carries active, transferable aquaculture permits from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, the Maine Department of Marine Resources, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A private owner doesn't need them, but they transfer with the land. The Permits page explains each one.
Yacht brokers and professional advisors often inquire for a client who wants to stay private. Palom will sign a non-disclosure agreement through the broker's or advisor's office, and the client's name stays with the broker or advisor.
After the agreement, Palom sends a confidential information memorandum with the price, permits, and environmental history. A site visit follows a capital sufficiency letter from the buyer's professional advisor.
