About the host

Hosted by Mercedes Ang / Robard Abraham

Host profile image
We moved to Maine in 2005 and have fallen in love with this beautiful State. From the crisp clean air, crystal clear lakes, majestic mountains, bold coast. We love being so close to Acadia National Park. We enjoy the outdoors and love to fish, hike, & eat good food.

Why they chose this property

We love waterfront properties. This is just about 5 feet away from the water on high tide, that's how close you are. Great private wharf with gangway to the dock where you can lauch the kayak and explore the Sound on high tide. We updated this house with three picture windows that showcase beacutiful views of the mountain and the Sound.

What makes this property unique

We love the three levels of this house. It could house two families without being in each others way because it has two master bedrooms. One on the upper level and another on the lower level. Each of the three bedrooms has its own on suite bath. Plus a bonus full bath on the main level. You are just a step away from the Somesville Library, Gallery, and the Museum and Garden. You are at the heart of the Village of Somesville. You are also just a few minutes from great hiking trails and great bodies of water both salt and fresh water.
