What's special
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS, this property contains a 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage that can be considered a home or a caretaker's/guest/rental cottage. The septic system servicing this cottage has an existing design for an expansion which would allow an additional bedroom. The existing cottage has 2 bedrooms and a bath on the second floor, open concept living, a kitchen, large deck and hot tub on the 3rd floor and the first floor contains a large workshop, a garage and ample storage. This property also has an exceptional building site for another residence. Adjacent to the building site there is a location that has an existing design for an 8 bedroom septic system. All of this sits on 2.11 acres and offers panoramic views of Somes Sound and Acadia National Park. The expansive view looks across Somes Sound to the east shore beginning near Abel's Yacht Yard and extends southerly to include much of Sargeant Drive. Most of the view above the east shore of Somes Sound consists of the never to be developed pristine protected mountains of Acadia National Park. Looking to the south views of Acadia Mountain can be seen. Access trails to Acadia Mountain are within walking distance. The cottage has a long standing history as a lucrative vacation rental income property. The gorgeous landscape of this exceptional property includes dramatic granite outcroppings surrounded by native ground cover similar to what you see in Acadia National Park.
