Samoset Resort: Quiet Luxury in Maine

The Samoset Resort, in Rockland, Maine, is fairly remote and offers a comfortable retreat from the frenetic pace of city life. Located a tad more than three hours from Boston, it's a great place for people looking to disappear for a few days, either to swing a golf club or simply to hide from the realities of everyday life.

To truly appreciate what this property has to offer, though, you need to walk through the main building, across the golf course and along the water a bit. Or, you can have someone give you a lift in a golf cart, which might be a bit easier.

The Flume Cottage sits apart from the rest of the resort, resulting in seclusion within seclusion. This1,500 square foot cottage, refurbished in 2010, sits right on the water, with a back deck that sports drop-dead views of the breakwater, with its lighthouse at the end. And, you can soak in the sights from the Jacuzzi that's out there. Since the only adjacent action on land is golf, you don't need to worry about the slightest noise intruding on your getaway, except, perhaps, a knock at the door when your meals arrive.

Stephen Baldwin's Nyack Home

Filed under: Estates

It had been said that actor Stephen Baldwin put his house on the market because of his frustration with a sex shop that had opened in his neighborhood but now Page Six says that the real reason the born-again Christian is putting his Rockland County house on the market is because he is in need of cash and owes back taxes. Baldwin's home is an elegant Victorian built in 1850. It is listed at $3.4 million. The home has Hudson river views. Baldwin bought the house in 1997 for $515,000 and has restored it but it may not be worth the ambitious listing price. Page Six has experts pricing it out at $2.8 million. Listing pictures after the jump.
