Few views can compete with the awe-inspiring mountains of Acadia National Park, described by French explorer Samuel de Champlain as the mountains that “reach to the sea” and Island View provides a front row seat. This beautiful turn-key custom home offers westerly views of Mount Desert Island, as well as the various islands and waters of Frenchman Bay. In the foreground lies Ironbound Island, a rugged island boasting high vertical granite cliffs and outcroppings where often one can find waves crashing like geysers high onto its cliffs. 

Sitting on 1.8 acres with 170 ft of waterfront, Island View is a three-bedroom, three bath home that has been meticulously maintained, features tasteful landscaping and rock walls complementary to its natural setting, and provides easy access to the beach area; a perfect spot to launch kayaks and explore the waters of Frenchman Bay. Additionally, two deeded lots across the road provide room for the expansion of a family compound or could be sold separately.  

A well-designed layout features a first floor with a large open-air space where you will find a gourmet kitchen with granite counters, a dining area, and a large living room, providing spectacular views from every vantage point. A stone fireplace accents this space, perfect for a cozy fire on those foggy days or at nighttime. An office area with a full bath could easily be converted into a first-floor primary bedroom.

The second floor is where you will find a large primary bedroom ensuite with a stone fireplace offering wonderful elevated westerly views. Two additional bedrooms (one with views) share a full bath, and a third bonus space provides plenty of room to entertain friends and family. A third level features an enclosed “look out” with seating and a small deck area, a perfect spot to relax, read and breathe in the magnificence of the spectacular views.  

Other amenities include a large, covered wrap around porch that provides for a variety of seating options and a new whole house on-demand generator, providing seamless living during power outages. As a turn-key offering, this property provides most of the furnishings, cookware, bicycles and kayaks that would allow any buyer to immediately start enjoying waterfront living at its best.
