About this home

A rare opportunity to own one of coastal Maine's most distinctive historic inns in the heart of Blue Hill. Dating to 1830 and welcoming guests for nearly two centuries, the Blue Hill Inn combines timeless Maine character with the infrastructure and flexibility today's hospitality buyer is seeking. Set on approximately 2 acres in the Blue Hill Historic District, the property is just steps from the village, with its restaurants, galleries, shops, arts, music scene, and the waterfront of Blue Hill Bay. The inn offers 12 guest rooms plus a two-room owner/manager suite, inviting common areas, two parlors, a sun-filled dining room, six fireplaces, original wide-plank floors, and an abundance of preserved architectural detail. A separate Cape House provides additional suites, generous parking, 26KW automatic generator, gardens, and expansive side yard add functionality and potential. The well-equipped commercial kitchen provides flexibility for breakfast service, private events, catering, or future food-and-beverage expansion. The side yard presents an opportunity for an outdoor dining area, patio, porch, or event space. The inn's established reputation and distinctive setting are complemented by a strong commitment to sustainable hospitality, including energy-efficient systems, local and organic sourcing, composting, recycling, and environmentally responsible guest amenities. Blue Hill offers what many Maine travelers increasingly seek: an authentic, coastal community away from the congestion of some more-known destinations, yet within easy reach of Camden, Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park. The Blue Hill Peninsula provides exceptional access to hiking, boating, kayaking, sailing, islands, lighthouses, galleries, farms, and the spectacular Maine coast. For an owner-operator, or investor seeking a property with flexibility, and long-term potential, Blue Hill Inn presents an opportunity to become part of the fabric of one of Maine's most beloved coastal communities.
