About this property

Spacious, waterfront, open ocean views, near Schoodic Point Acadia National Park

Our home offers you a spacious, open, sun-lit, private retreat, with sweeping views Down East to the Bay of Fundy and inland to Bunker s Harbor, situated on 15+ acres of woods with an accessible 660 foot pink granite shoreline.

Watch from the Gazebo as lobster boats ply the waters or view the crashing surf outside from the two story cathedral living room windows. Take a short walk or bike ride to Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula trails or a short drive to iconic Schoodic Point.

The House

We hope you will feel welcome and relaxed in our custom built Rockport Post & Beam home.

Indoors, on the main level, enjoy spectacular views from the living room, a well-equipped gourmet kitchen & butler's pantry and a spacious dining room. The main level also offers a cozy game and puzzle room, an office/study, a grand piano, a bedroom/nursery, two bathrooms, a mud room and a connected two-car garage.

Upstairs, you will find a spacious master bedroom with spectacular water views and all the amenities you would expect including a soaking tub and gas fireplace, plus two additional comfortable bedrooms and a large lofted TV sitting room.

The Property

Outdoors, you will find a long perimeter wood deck with a gas grill, a wind-swept gazebo, 660 feet of accessible pink rock and boulder-covered waterfront and 15 acres of private woods. A large granite outcropping located on the property is accessible at low tide, for the freshest ocean air in Down East Maine. Feel free to wander in the woods, within site of the shoreline or the driveway so you do not get lost. Day and night, you can see the Petit Manan Lighthouse - 10 miles out to sea! Please note: there is heating but no A/C in the house.
