Not only is the Fog House the last residence on the public road before the Acadia National Park entrance, but from your back door you can step onto a quietly used Park trail that leads to Schooner Head Overlook Road, Anemone Cave, and on to Sand Beach, allowing you to walk or bike by road or trail directly into the Park from this breathtaking cove setting overlooking crashing surf on the ledges of Schooner Head, Egg Rock Lighthouse, and the open ocean.
The main house offers 4 bedrooms, including a large first-floor primary suite and a dramatic cathedral living room with granite fireplace. Upstairs is an en-suite bedroom with an open center balcony overlooking the living room, connecting to two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The walkout lower level includes a bonus room and bath, a craft room, and a large unfinished space for storage or future expansion.
A detached two-car garage features an apartment above with a spacious open bedroom/living area and another full bath, ideal for guests, studio, or office. Designed by architect Roc Caivano and customized with a hand-painted kitchen floor by noted local artist Russ D'Alessio, the home comes mostly furnished and ready for its next steward. Enjoy the sound of the surf from the oceanside gazebo set above the stone beach and ledges, a rare coastal retreat at the edge of the Park.
There are 5 sleeping rooms in total, but the septic system is rated for 3 bedrooms.
