Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Bar Harbor
The wide panoramic northerly view gives us both amazing sunrise and sunsets. There's easy access to the park and town, just a five minute drive to carriage trails and ten minutes to downtown Bar Harbor. At Bayscape, we have convenience, comfort, and a live window on the estuary, islands and bay. Thomas Bay is generally very calm, so it's also a great place to kayak!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Sherri designed and built the Bayscape residence and suite in 2000 to provide a front-row seat to the seasonal wildlife on the salt pond and bay. The scenery changes with every tide, sunrise, and season. Blue herons and egrets wade at the water's edge, buffleheads and mergansers strut and dive, and a pair of nesting eagles frequently stir up the flocks of resting ducks and gulls. The floriferous English-style garden below the suite's glass deck is filled with colorful field and song birds throughout the summer. The Bayscape residence and suite share the same oceanfront home, each with its own private entry, living and exterior spaces. It's really nice to share this beautiful home and setting, with ample privacy and space for everyone's comfort. We're here to welcome you (but might not see you again until it's time to wish you a safe journey home).
