About this property

Spectacular Oceanfront Home on Beautiful Maine Coast

Located in the charming fishing village of Winter Harbor you’ll be enchanted by this warm and welcoming 4 bedroom, 3 bath home. Perched on a bluff above the granite coast of Frenchman’s Bay, this home offers breathtaking views of Jordan, Ironbound and Mt. Desert islands. Enjoy the sound of waves while watching eagles, seals and porpoises from the front porch. Get an up-close view of your dinner being caught by local lobstermen right off shore.

This 2,400 square foot shingle-style home, completed in fall of 2021, boasts panoramic views from nearly every room. You’ll find the house thoughtfully designed and fully appointed for your comfort and enjoyment. Our open concept living room, dining, and kitchen with generous island seating, bright sunroom with granite fireplace and a private study allow you to come together as a group or find a quiet spot for focus or reflection. Crisp cotton bedding and down comforters ensure a tranquil night’s sleep, lulled by the sound of waves and the brilliant display of stars.

The home is located less than two miles from the picturesque village of Winter Harbor, a working harbor that offers shops, restaurants, bike and kayak rentals, and access to the Schoodic Peninsula, the only mainland portion of Acadia National Park. Explore Schoodic’s hiking trails, carriage paths and dramatic scenery before taking the seasonal ferry to Bar Harbor to enjoy the day investigating all that Mt. Desert Island has to offer via the Island Explorer bus system.

Or stay at home, cooking up a seafood feast in our fully equipped kitchen, playing lawn or board games, or cozied up by the fire reading a good book. Enjoy spectacular sunsets from the wrap-around porch or explore the tidal pools and shoreline accessed from our oceanfront stairway. For the outdoor enthusiast, this home offers ideal access to hiking, biking and kayaking and for those looking for a different pace it offers the space to reconnect and recharge – inspired by the physical beauty of nature and the comfort of this spectacular home.

Fantastic property!
We wanted to go to Maine to see the beautiful fall foliage, Kathleen’s property allowed us to see the leaves changing and ocean all from the back porch! The property was clean, and had everything you could think of (games, kitchen supplies, fireplace, laundry) and an incredible ocean view! Kathleen was a great host and answered questions promptly. We all enjoyed our stay!

Best Time Ever
The house is beautiful and exceeds expectations set by the photos. Showers were very clean, beds were comfortable and kitchen was everything you could want. Did nothing at times but sit on the back porch or at the fire pit. “Downtown” Winter Harbor had great breakfasts at JM Gerrish Cafe and nice dinner at Treehouse. Biked through Schoodic. Trip to Schoodic Point was a little hilly but worth it. Getting back is somewhat of a challenge for recreational bikers. Take the shuttle. Took ferry to Bar Harbor which was a ve ry nice trip with a Bald Eagle sighting on one of the islands. Drove to Acadia Visitor Center, hiked, then took shuttle into town for shopping and dinner. We did find that the lots near the water had multiple open parking spots. Drive time and ferry are about the same, but last ferry trip is around 5pm. Would go back to this place anytime in a heartbeat. Our three children (and our 11 month grandchild) had a blast.

Words Can't Do It Justice
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The decor of the home was lovely and inviting. The interior is spacious and open, which is a bonus when you have four little kids. The view is absolutely amazing. The mountain...the island...the ocean...it's just better than any pictures or words can convey. We spent so much time outdoors, watching the lobstermen check their traps in the morning and watching the stars at night. Winter Harbor is a charming little town, and the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia is a must-see. There's so much to see and do in the area, and the house was a perfect place for those times we didn't feel like doing much at all! This was a fabulous stay, and we hope to return soon.

Family trip!
We had such a lovely time at the Jordan Harbor home. The pictures are beautiful but don’t do the home justice. Everything in this house high quality, well-appointed and super clean with thoughtful touches. It was such a wonderful week with family. The view is impossibly serene—everything in sight is natural and undeveloped. It’s the perfect place to recharge. The owner provided helpful and clear communication. We will definitely be back!
