Why they chose this property
We have this unique gem on Mount Desert Island overlooking Western Bay to Blue Hill that has been in my family dating 1802. The property is located along the ocean front at Indian Point in Town Hill Maine. For years this rustic cottage was used as an artist retreat that has allowed them to be inspired. Many visitors have commented that "we can not wait to get back to camp from other parts of the island" to enjoy the afternoon on the beach and evening sunsets. This is why my ancestors have held on to this property.
What makes this property unique
