Comfy "Mini-estate" on Iconic Corea Harbor

NOTE ! - So sorry, but from Sept 10-17, only the Main House is available, sleeping 8. The rate reflects this.

This stunning and creative “mini estate” is perfect for multi-generational families and for couple-friends wanting a vacation in a beautiful quiet area. It is comprised of TWO BUILDINGS-- 1.) a 3000-square-foot custom home and 2.) a 500-square-foot guest cottage. The property sits directly on lobster-boat-filled Corea Harbor, across from three working wharves.

MAIN HOUSE- GROUND FLOOR

The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a magnificent AGA Range with multiple ovens, griddle, pot spigot, & burners. To the left of the AGA you'll also find a conventional oven and stove. A double sink looks out over the harbor and another large, single sink, out to the backyard. Dual professional pull-out drawer dishwashers abut the double sink. The 2-level island has drawers & doors on 3 sides, and a 2-stool seating area on the fourth. All non-range appliances (toaster, microwave, coffee maker, etc.) can be concealed in cabinets, including the Sub-Zero 642 Refrigerator System.

The sunroom: looks into the beautiful back yard and has another sink, a sitting area, a table, a desk and a large TV.

The dining room and living room overlook the harbor and three working wharves so you can watch boats come and go.

There is a large bedroom suite, which connects to a bathroom with double sinks, a glass shower, and a private toilet and bidet.

The ground floor also has a library, a butler’s pantry/laundry room, and a guest bathroom.

MAIN HOUSE- SECOND FLOOR:
The front sitting room gives you an even better view of the harbor. There is a bedroom suite identical to the first-floor suite, and two smaller private bedrooms (one with twin beds, the other with magnificent corner window view of the harbor) share a bathroom.

Please note: Only the guest cottage has air conditioning. Average high temperatures in July and August are about 73º so, with the breeze off the water, the fans we provide should be sufficient.

GUEST HOUSE:
Walk up the few stairs of the front porch and enter an open living room and full kitchen. The living room couch folds out to become a double bed. The in-wall AC/Heat combo splits keep the cottage as cool or warm as needed. Bathroom is off the bedroom, with a walk-in shower. The back of the cottage offers the best view of the osprey nest.

THE GROUNDS:
The patio off the main house sunroom includes a six-person table and a charcoal grill. Adirondack chairs circle the fire pit. The backyard has natural granite outcroppings accented by lawns, trees, & flowering beds, with a little bridge leading to a bench. Best of all—it includes a view of a magnificent osprey nest.

THINGS TO DO IN COREA:
Wonderful food, galleries, and sights are short walks away. Turn right out of the driveway and walk down Frances Pound Road to reserve tickets for a "Catch Your Dinner" Lobster Boat tour. Turn left to go to “Corea Lunch on the Wharf" and eat off -the-boat seafood and other lunch items. A short walk further up the road and you’ll find a “kick-ass” gallery called “Chapter Two.” If you turn right, you can wander up the Cranberry Point Road for signs of Corea’s spruce-clad islands, and/or you can enjoy the gorgeous vistas of Cranberry Point. Other than the sounds of Lobster boats leaving and coming home, the area is deliciously quiet.

THE ENVIRONS:
The property is also only a few minutes drive to the shops, restaurants, golf, yacht club and artisans in Prospect, Birch, and Winter Harbor. Winter Harbor also has a passenger ferry to and from Bar Harbor; 45 minutes one way.

We are about a ten minute drive to the less-crowded Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park-- the only section of Acadia on the mainland. The Schoodic part of Acadia is about 2400 acres and boasts vistas, trails, a picnic area, and a National Park Research Learning Center called the Schoodic Institute. More Info can be found at: https://www.nps.gov/places/schoodic.htm Please Note: Bartlett House is an hour drive from the main part of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island.

NOTE !!! From Dec 1st until April 1st, the cottage is closed for WInter. Only the Main House, sleeping 8, is available, and the rate reflects that.
