About this property
Quiet cottage in the woods with private access to beach, shore views of Acadia.
A spacious three bedroom summer cottage on Hancock Point in open woods, just 100 yards from the beach, with private beach access. From the beach there is a beautiful view of Frenchman Bay and Mt. Desert Island. The screened sun porch at the front of the house is a wonderful place for a quiet breakfast or lunch, reading, games, or drinks in the evening. The cottage has wooden floors, one double bedroom, 2 twin bedrooms, a large living room with wood stove and cable television, a study and a full bathroom with shower in addition to a half bathroom. There is Wifi internet access. The cottage is easy walking distance from the famous Crocker House Country Inn/Restaurant, the Hancock Point library, chapel, Post Office and Village Green, tennis courts (lessons available, July and August), and the wharf, where you can fish and swim. Sailing lessons are available for children in July and August. Horseback riding and kayaking expeditions are also available locally.

Why they chose this property
My grandfather had this cottage built and it is the cottage we have returned to for almost every summer since I was born.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is very peaceful and private, and yet it's well connected to the rest of Hancock Point with its library, tennis courts and wharf as well as the Crocker House Inn. There are woods for children to play in and space in the yard for croquet games. The cottage also has its own access to the shore, with a two-seater Adirondack chair just above the beach (with great views of the mountains of Acadia National Park) and then wooden stairs down to the beach. On the beach to the left, our family's main beach, there's a big rock that becomes an island or a ship when the tide is in, and there's also a reef full of tide pools with crabs, snails and starfish in them, so it's great fun for children. There is a sandy area great for sand building sand castles and cities. We love it.
