    What's special

    A ferry ride away from the everyday, this dreamy Swan's Island escape begins with a scenic drive past Acadia National Park and a departure from Bass Harbor, setting the tone for something truly special. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers peaceful island living with ocean views and includes a separate waterfront lot. Inside features warm pine wood floors, a newly installed bathroom (2025), and furnishings included,making it truly move-in ready. A sun-soaked enclosed porch provides the perfect spot to relax and take in the quiet surroundings year-round. Outside, you'll find a greenhouse, beautiful perennials, and a storage shed. Both the home and shed had roofs replaced in 2019 for added peace of mind. Located just about a mile from the ferry terminal and five minutes from the local market and town office, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience in a quaint island community. Your island dream starts here 🌊
