Thunder Hill, in the style of an English Country Manor, is perhaps the finest property every available in southern Maine. Located in Godfrey Cove, a highly coveted oceanside area of York, Maine, Thunder Hill is conveniently close to historic Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and is halfway between Portland and Boston. No detail has been overlooked or expense spared in creating an incomparable private estate, perfectly suited to its matchless setting. Commanding spectacular ocean views of Godfrey Cove and Boon Island Light and beyond, the home presides over more than three acres of fully irrigated, professionally designed and cared for grounds, enhanced with brick terraces, perennial gardens, heated outdoor pool, built-in professional poolside grilling area, recently refinished tennis court and service building, and two-car barn with storage area above.

Originally built in 1929, the residence has been expanded and updated by the present owners to provide all the amenities expected in the finest homes, with the added bonus of luxuries usually found in a world-class resort. Unique features include a state-of-the-art entertainment, communications, and lighting system with whole-house audio and home theater. Both the main Kitchen and attached Pool House Kitchen were designed with entertaining in mind and are capable of servicing intimate gatherings as well as large-scale events.

The Master Bedroom suite, a world unto itself, occupies the East Wing. It offers a private deck overlooking the ocean and grounds, his-and-her baths and closets, cedar paneled dressing room, hand-carved limestone fireplace, and private gym with exercise area, indoor lap pool, and sauna. Nearby is the Library with full bath, paneled Den with fireplace, and Wet Bar, where stairs lead down to the attached Pool House with kitchen, bath, and fireplaced sun room.

The main entrance leads into the Central Wing's columned Foyer, opening to the expansive Living Room and spacious Dining Room, each with bay window and limestone fireplace. A graceful, curving staircase ascends to the gallery and two generous Bedroom Suites, each with luxurious bath and fireplace. In the West Wing are the beautifully equipped Kitchen and adjoining Breakfast Room. A wide hallway connects the paneled Media Room to thte Spa Room with hot tub, four-car heated garage, and outdoors to one of several brick terraces. A separate stair accesses the in-law apartment comprising sitting room, bedroom, kitchen, and bath, and two additional bedrooms and baths. The lower level is richly paneled and provides a Billiards Room and dine-in, climate controlled Wine Cellar, serviced by dumbwaiter from the main kitchen, and perfect for romantic dinners or serious tasting.

All mechanical systems are top-of-the-line, new as of renovation, and meticulously maintained. The house is heated by a combination of radiant and forced air, with air conditioning throughout. Inside and out, THUNDER HILL embodies the very finest in quality, taste, and Old World charm.
