About this property
Historic Oceanfront Home with private dock and boat house. Walkable to town.
Historic Harbormaster’s House on the Great Harbor
Step into coastal Maine history at the beautifully restored Harbormaster’s House, originally built in 1888 and thoughtfully renovated in 1989. Located on picturesque Clark Point Road, this year-round residence offers sweeping views of the Great Harbor and a front-row seat to the ever-changing marine activity — from lobster boats to sailboats gliding by.
Inside, the home combines modern comfort with classic charm:
3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms
Spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area
Two laundry rooms for added convenience
Second-floor office/sitting room with harbor views
Harborside decks perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails
Large basement with ping-pong table for indoor fun
The main floor primary suite features an ADA-compliant bathroom and a private screened porch — ideal for relaxing with a book or enjoying cool sea breezes.
A one-car attached garage offers direct entry to the home. Outside, meander through lush perennial gardens down a quiet path to the shore, where a private beach and dock invite you to launch kayaks, cast a line, or simply watch the tide roll in.
New in 2024: A spacious deck and cozy boathouse at the water’s edge — your perfect, sheltered hangout with comfortable seating and stunning views. End your evening stargazing from the Adirondack chairs on the dock — the night sky here is unforgettable.
Just five houses from the Southwest Harbor Town Dock, and a short 10-minute walk to Beal’s Lobster Pound and downtown Southwest Harbor, with its charming shops, restaurants, historic inns, and museum — this home is perfectly positioned for your Acadia National Park adventures.
