About this home

Situated on 37 surveyed acres, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own a private retreat that seamlessly blends natural beauty, conservation, and income-producing potential. Protected by a conservation easement, the land features a thoughtfully naturalized landscape. The centerpiece is a custom-built 2013 residence featuring a carport, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, highlighted by stunning architectural windows that frame the surrounding landscape and fill the home with natural light. A welcoming three-season screened porch, thoughtfully designed for entertaining and relaxation, features a direct propane-line connection for grilling, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor gathering space. A traditional wood-fired sauna is steps away from the main house bedroom. The custom kitchen showcases granite countertops, quality cabinetry, and a spacious pantry, while cherry, maple, and oak are beautifully incorporated throughout the home. Lighted pathways connect the property to the main 2 car garage, and 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor. The fenced garden area measuring 70'x50' contains raised beds, including an established asparagus patch, highbush blueberries, raspberries and currant bushes as well as a quiet dining spot. Additional accommodations include a seasonal cabin with 1 bedroom, 1 bath - ideal for hosting family and friends. A separate 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage, currently operated as a successful Airbnb rental from May to October, providing immediate income potential or flexible living arrangements. With minor alterations, the cabin can also qualify for weekly rentals. Bike directly from the property to Acadia's famed carriage roads, and direct access to the Friends of Acadia-maintained Acadia Ridge Trail from the property itself. While offering peace, seclusion and abundant birdlife, located two miles from the Eagle Lake entrance to Acadia National Park and less than five miles to Kebo Valley Golf Club and downtown Bar Harbor.
