MOTIVATED SELLER! What's Special....
500' of oceanfront living with a private peninsula
Protected tidal swimming cove
Spectacular scenery from various viewpoints
Adjacent to and across from preserved land
Uniquely modern rustic Maine home with multi-level balconies and surrounding water views
Imagine waking each morning to the sound of loons and sipping your coffee while watching a spectacular sunrise across the water. Envision yourself living in a paradise so serene that you'd have to remind yourself that you are a short ferry ride away from all of the adventure and activities of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Maine. This Swan's Island home invites you to experience Swan's Island which many have described as '6 miles east of ordinary'.
Beautifully designed, this special home has multi-levels with many private spaces both inside and outside of the house. It is light and bright with water views throughout the house which sits on 500' of ocean frontage that virtually wraps around two sides of the property. Waterside decks lead down to the shorefront with paths and seating areas along the peninsula. From majestic granite boulders to patches of sand, a seasonal waterfall that flows into an azure green swimming lagoon, nature presents itself in every direction and invites one to be still and enjoy each moment. Swan's Island offers one the opportunity to step back in time to a simpler way of life and experience Maine's best on various trails, beaches, and incredible scenery without crowds or traffic.
This 4 bedroom/2 bath home with additional loft is being sold fully furnished and boasts a solid rental history if desired. As part of the neighborhood association, this home comes with a shared waterfront clubhouse area, and a tidal mini-island leading to a dinghy dock and private mooring.
