The charming scenic village of Blue Hill is just two miles away from this wonderful home, located on a private lane, nestled among the pines, with a panoramic view of Blue Hill Bay, and your own piece of the rocky shoreline. You can enjoy the beach, watch the sailboats and and lobster boats go by, curl up with a book on the deck, or enjoy the sparkling stars in the night sky. The lawn is a great spot for a good game of Frisbee.

The village is 35 miles from Bangor International Airport or Trenton Airport, an hour drive from all the attractions of Acadia National Park, and close to the neighboring villages of the Blue Hill peninsula, including Castine, Brooklin and Deer Isle, each with their own history and activities. The village of Blue Hill offers a variety of restaurants from fine cuisine to a favorite lobster and clam shack. All the amenities you need can be found in the village- a grocery story, food co-op for organic items, a farmer's market in summer and fall, wine store, banks, an award-winning library, art galleries, churches, post office, Kneisel Hall Summer Music Festival, Marine Environmental Research Institute programs and cruises, steel drum outdoor concerts, and hiking up Blue Hill mountain.

Launch your kayak and paddle around the coves of the bay, greeting seals. The reversing falls in South Blue Hill are famous and worth a look - or a kayak ride if you dare. Take a bike ride along the small winding roads. The famous Wooden Boat school in Brooklin offers courses in sailing and boat-building. Antique shops and galleries can be found all over the peninsula. Blue Hill Heritage Trust offers well maintained and beautiful hiking and walking trails all over the peninsula. There is always something to do in any season!
