Ravenscleft is a Peabody & Stearns Shingled Cottage built on Cooksey Drive in Seal Harbor in 1901.

The home has been completely restored and renovated with a whimsical nod to the original design. The dramatic site is one of the most captivating and desired on Mount Desert Island and the Coast of Maine. Substantial, spectacular estates dot the oceanfront of Cooksey Drive. The well worn pink granite cliffs that the house is perched on command some of the most compelling views of the ocean possible, from working fishermen to competitive and recreational sailors; from Bunker's Ledge markings to navigational markings the vista is ever changing.

In addition to the main house there is a charming guest house with one bedroom and a two car garage.…More Less
