Step into a timeless retreat in a private summer enclave once favored by the original rusticators, those early vacationers who sought beauty, solitude, and the quiet luxury of nature. This classic cottage style home is an opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the most desirable locations on the Blue Hill Peninsula. In largely original condition, this summer home exudes authenticity and charm. It features an expansive gathering room, formal dining room, large covered porch, and panoramic ocean views. Nearly every room captures the ever changing seascape, Cadillac Mountain and the peaks of Acadia to the east, and the wide expanse of Blue Hill Bay to the south. One of the property's exceptional features is its expansive sandy beach, a true rarity in coastal Maine. Families will appreciate this unique amenity: children can step right outside the front door and run down the gently sloping lawn to play, explore tidal pools and jump into the crystal-clear ocean. It's the kind of carefree, barefoot summer magic that's increasingly hard to find. With deep water frontage, a beautifully reconstructed seawall and direct access to the shore, the property offers seamless connection to the ocean and an abundance of wildlife. Seals, porpoises, loons, and bald eagles are regular visitors to this extraordinary stretch of coastline. The home is part of a storied summer colony where families have gathered for generations to enjoy sailing, tennis, golf and the quiet natural beauty of coastal Maine. It's located just minutes from a private golf course and yacht club, and within easy reach of Acadia National Park and a 50-minute drive to Bangor Airport. While the home has been lovingly preserved, it does need some TLC, an opportunity for new stewards to bring their vision to life while honoring its heritage. This is more than a home, it's a legacy. A rare opportunity to steward a piece of coastal history in a place where summers are still timeless, and the ocean is always near.
