Serenity Cove - Waterfront retreat near Acadia

Serenity Cove — A Private, Newly Renovated Waterfront Retreat on Taunton Bay

Escape to the peace and tranquility of one of Maine's rarest offerings: a completely renovated waterfront sanctuary on Taunton Bay in Sullivan, Maine. Set on 2.5 secluded acres among evergreen trees, this home was fully reimagined in 2026 with refined style and elevated coastal comfort.

Located along the Schoodic Scenic Byway and minutes from Acadia National Park, enjoy sweeping views of pine islands, granite shores, and tranquil waters from every room and deck.

A Secluded Arrival

A 300-foot private drive winds through towering evergreens before revealing Serenity Cove, a reimagined New England cape where modern luxury meets timeless coastal charm. The moment you arrive, the world falls away—replaced by the quiet rustle of pines, the scent of salt air, and sweeping views of the bay where lobster boats drift with the tides.

Despite the sense of complete seclusion, you’re perfectly positioned near Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, the Schoodic Peninsula, and the most breathtaking landscapes of Downeast Maine.
