Amazing Sound View, located in Hall Quarry, Mount Desert! Hall Quarry is located about halfway between Somesville and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island.
Hall Quarry is a peaceful and serene village that sits nestled in the hills on Somes Sound, the only natural fjard on the East coast and a popular sailing and pleasure boating destination, offering protected deep anchorages and spectacular views all year long.
Sound View is a very spacious, meticulously decorated and a comfortable home away from home set amidst a huge manicured yard, overlooking the most spectacular and amazing ever-changing views of Somes Sound, as well as beautiful Sargent, Bald Peak, Parkman and Norumbega Mountains. Relax in the most private setting while you sip your coffee on your very spacious deck and enjoy the breathtaking views! Watch the deer grazing all around you in the early evenings. Also take in our spectacular Maine Lupine flowering field in full bloom, along your view to the Sound (seasonally, usually Early June). Feel free to cut some to have them fragrant the inside as well.
We are just minutes (2 to 3 miles) to some of Acadia National Park's most popular hiking and biking trails, as well as great swimming at Echo Lake Beach. We are within 8 miles of downtown Bar Harbor and minutes to everything that our beautiful Island has to offer, without having to endure the lack of privacy with downtown properties and the huge crowds and noise from the cruise ship traffic while staying in Bar Harbor.
Sound View has 4+ lovely bedrooms and three bathrooms. It will comfortably accommodate a total of 10 (8 ADULTS / 2 CHILDREN MAXIMUM) due to bed configurations. It is delicately appointed with fine furnishings, upscale real down duvet bedding, linens, & housewares, etc.
This amazing property provides you with everything you could possibly need! The beautiful gas fireplace is a perfect setting for cooler evenings. On the entrance level floor, there is a fully stocked kitchen for the chef in you leading to an open concept living room and sun-room dining area, both with large sliding glass doors to the spacious deck and gorgeous view. Lots of windows throughout allows for wonderful natural light. We just installed a heat pump for heating and cooling, A/C needs in the living room, kitchen, dining area. Into the hall, there is a master bedroom with a king sized bed and a smaller en-suite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom with a queen size bed and a larger bathroom for the main floor to utilize. Both upstairs bedrooms offer a/c and ceiling fans, other fans are available in the property.
Wander downstairs where you will find two more queen sized bedrooms, one leading to what we call the twin room. It has a twin bed and trundle unit (sleeps kids only). Also downstairs is a great office space with a relaxing day bed and then a very spacious recreation room for lounging, watching television on the comfy sofas or playing ping pong or one of the great games we have included. It also has a full bath attached with a tub.
Our glorious views continue from every window. This house is perfect for extended families traveling together or multiple couples. There is a washer and dryer located on each floor for your convenience. Outside enjoy the very spacious back yard with a great fire pit are for roasting marshmallows, playing corn hole or bring some other back yard games you enjoy. Firewood is available at the corner of Grants Hill Road for minimal fee.
Supplied items: All linens and bath towels, some beach towels, a Kuerig and drip coffee brewer, Crock pot/air fryer, microwave, dishwasher, all the pots, pans and dishware you will need. We supply laundry detergent, dish detergent, dish washer detergent, hand soaps, trash bags and spices. Also a couple of rolls of toilet paper for each bath and a starter roll of paper towels.

About the host
Hosted by Erica Merchant
My husband, myself and our two boys most recently acquired Sound View. My husband and children are all natives to Hall Quarry and I am originally from Massachusetts. We also reside in Hall Quarry, Mount Desert.
Why they chose this property
This property is very near and dear to my husband. It was his grandfather's property originally. It was then passed on to his uncle. A lot of great memories were made gardening and horseback riding with his grandfather when he was young. We were delighted we were given the chance to retain this property within the family.
What makes this property unique
Lots of property both inside and out to stretch out and enjoy!
