Welcome to Diamond Cove Properties Diamond Cove, on Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay, has been a vacation retreat for 200 years but at the turn of the last century the site was better known as the military stronghold Fort McKinley. The fort was commissioned to defend Portland Harbor during the Spanish-American War, but the war had long ended by the time the fort was completed in the early 1900s. It housed more than 1000 soldiers in brick barracks and Queen Anne-style officers' quarters surrounding a lovely parade ground as seen below, and continued to serve the military until the early 1950s.

Today, Diamond Cove is a year-round oceanfront community covering 193 acres.  Amenities include a 4-star restaurant, tennis courts, heated pool; the original basketball court and bowling alley have been restored for your enjoyment.  There are five secluded private beaches and miles of walking trails. A marina with deep water slips that can accommodate  sailboats and large and small power boats makes the community especially attractive to sailors. Just 2 miles from Portland, with easy access to interstate highways, bus and rail connections and a major airport, Diamond Cove is unsurpassed as a vacation retreat. The many special services such as grocery delivery to your front door make Diamond Cove an easy choice for your year-round island home.

Opportunities to experience Diamond Cove are available for ownership and include 3-bedroom townhomes, former officers' quarters and sergeants' quarters, and spectacular waterfront homes and lots.
