Secluded Oceanfront Home, with private beach and pier

Granite Shores is a spacious waterfront home set on over 10 secluded acres, and surrounded by many more acres of conservation land. It is a unique and beautiful property, with stunning views to North Haven, the Camden Hills, and the Eagle Island lighthouse. There are over 1,200 feet of shoreline along East Penobscot Bay, with Pink granite ledges, a private beach and a pier. A covered gazebo sits on the ledge over the ocean, and is the ideal spot to sit peacefully with morning coffee, and to watch the sunset in the evenings.
