15 Acres of Ocean Front Privacy in the Middle of Everything Acadia

Small Cove Point is a five bedroom waterfront home on 15 acres with 1/4 mile of private Somes Sound shoreline. The Main House accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 bedrooms. For an additional fee the three bedroom Guest Cottage can be added to accomodate 6 more guests, for a total of 16. The grounds include extensive shoreline, small coves, meadows, woods and two fresh water streams. Providing privacy and spectacular north, south, and western views of the Sound, Acadia’s Giant Slide Trail begins directly across the street. Northeast Harbor is 6 minutes away, Cadillac Mountain Entrance is 9 minutes, Bar Harbor is 12 minutes, and Southwest Harbor is 13 minutes.

Use our kayaks and paddle boards to explore Sargent Cove. Moor your boat at Abels full service yacht yard just up the sound. Abels offers deep water dockage and guest moorings, as well as dining at Abels Lobster Pound.

This well-maintained home has newer mattresses, pillows, towels and monogrammed linens. All the rooms offer water views. There is a large living room (the "Great Room") as well as a sunny separate study if you need some quiet time, both with large fire places. The living room and well stocked kitchen have direct access to the expansive Western facing deck providing spectacular views of Somes Sound, where seals, porpoise, loons, mergansers, herons, osprey and a bald eagle are common sights, followed by one of the best sunsets on Mt. Desert.

There is high speed wifi, cable tv, ample parking, an automatic generator, bbq grill, fire wood, a full laundry with washer and 2 dryers, and an outdoor shower. A new HVAC system provides a/c and heat with individual remotes for every room. Paddle boards, Kayaks, and life vests are provided. There is an on site caretaker. The owner is available via text or phone 24/7/365.

About the host

Host profile image
Come see for yourself what makes Small Cove Point so special! Commissioned by our grandfather in 1961 and built of native pine, Small Cove Point is where our entire family gathers during the month of August to reconnect, unwind, and just have fun amidst the spectacular beauty of Acadia National Park and its environs. This is a property used by all 14 of us in August: 6 kids, 7 adults, and 1 grammy split between the Main House and the Cottage. We bring our dogs, one of which sheds fur mercilessly. (No, we do not allow pets, no matter how sweet, well trained, or well behaved. This is non-negotiable and based upon past experience). It is clean, well-cared for, and well equipped. The furniture and upholstery are updated regularly, including recent mattresses, sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels. We also installed a modern HVAC system in 2021: each room has individual heat and A/C controls. It is a wonderful house, a wonderful property, and a wonderful place to be. While you may find clues that others have been there before - a finger smudge on a window for example - please know that everything is clean, tidy and squared away. The cleaners are thorough and use antibacterial products. Yet you may come across a dog hair in the living room, mismatched silverware, Tupperware without a lid or a chipped china plate. You may also find canned goods, an unopened box of quinoa or gluten-free spaghetti, a bottle of hot sauce, maybe a half bag of perfectly good coffee. Help yourself. We work hard to ensure that this well-loved and well-used home is well-maintained. You are a guest in our home. Yes, you are a paying guest but a guest nonetheless and I will work hard to correct any deficiencies.

Why they chose this property

Simple, comfortable, and ready for you. This is a wonderful gathering place for friends and family, with a large living room/dining room, fully stocked eat in kitchen, and expansive deck. Where else can you be on the water and surrounded by granite mountains? There is plenty of room to spread out: in the house, on the property, and throughout Acadia. Take a swim in front of the house, watch the wildlife and boats from the deck, take a hike in the Park, a stroll through Northeast Harbor, a water taxi to Isleford (Little Cranberry), Great Cranberry, Swans Island or Frenchboro (Long Island).

What makes this property unique

Acclaimed by many to have the best sunset on Mt Desert! 1/4 mile of private shorefront on Somes Sound. New HVAC system 2021 with individual controllers for each room. 4 Paddles Boards, 3 sit on top Kayaks, 1 sit in Kayaks, 4 children's sit on top kayaks, life vests.
