61 Hope Street, Rockport, ME 04856

Serene and private 30+ acre retreat nestled into a mountainside meadow with panoramic views for miles, amazing sunsets, beautiful grounds, gardens and woodlands, surrounded by Coastal Mountains Land Trust and conservation land. Designed by a celebrated local architect known for homes that fit the land, what appears at first to be a traditional extended Cape reveals to its inhabitants how integrated it is into the landscape to suit modern living, maximizing every comfort and view. On the main level there is a gracious open concept family/dining room/kitchen with a wood stove, a formal living room with a fireplace, a primary bedroom suite with a bathroom featuring a cathedral ceiling and a soaking tub looking out over the meadow, a mudroom, and an attached 2 car garage. Upstairs, there are three lovely bedrooms and two full baths. But then, the unexpected design elements taking full advantage of the site: a double-height solarium leads out to the in-ground pool or to the ground floor playroom and billiards room with its own half bath and kitchenette; decks on each level have breathtaking views; a double office suite allows working from home in style; and the huge studio/playspace above the garage and additional lower level garage space offer so many possibilities depending on your needs. Only minutes away from Rockport Harbor, world-class sailing on Penobscot Bay, fine restaurants up and down the coast, the Camden Snow Bowl, and connected to Ragged Mountain hiking trails, this is a spectacular and rare property indeed!
