Step into coastal luxury at Ship’s Channel, a breathtaking oceanfront estate nestled on the rugged, storied shores of South Portland.
Originally the home of former Maine Governor Ken Curtis, this remarkable residence was fully renovated in 2013 and has been meticulously maintained ever since, blending timeless elegance with modern comfort.
This one-of-a-kind property offers unobstructed, panoramic views of Casco Bay, where sailboats glide past historic forts and sunrises stretch endlessly over the Atlantic. Set on a quiet, coveted stretch of shoreline, Ship’s Channel combines classic Maine charm with refined coastal living. The home is thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy and capture natural light, ocean breezes and jaw-dropping views from nearly every room.
Description continues after gallery.

Experience unparalleled refinement with this completely customized estate with three bedrooms, six bathrooms and 3,671 square feet of living space. All finishes, from floors to cabinets, are maple. Glass tiles grace all of the bathrooms, each with their own colorway. In the chef’s kitchen are hand-crafted countertops and backsplash, embedded with seaglass and seashells. The primary bedroom suite features a steam shower with bench and dressing room with towel warmers.
Outside, enjoy morning coffee on the expansive seaside terrace, watching the ships come through the bay or entertain guests with the outdoor kitchen, firepit and stunning backdrop of Maine’s rocky coastline. Downtown Portland is a 10-minute drive away, (it’s even less to iconic Portland Headlight), while walkable Willard Beach, with its top-rated bakeries and restaurants, is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the region.
Ship’s Channel is more than a home. It’s a front-row seat to the ever-changing beauty of the Maine coast. Whether as a primary residence or a legacy summer retreat, this estate is a rare offering that embodies the soul of the coast.
