Sitting high on the pink granite ledges of Penobscot Bay with expansive unspoiled views of the shimmering Atlantic Ocean over Islesboro to the Camden Hills and beyond sits this beautiful year round home with separate guest house/studio. The property consists of 1.45 acres and includes 175' of deep water frontage with beautifully landscaped grounds surrounding the house and guest house. The main house and guest house were originally built in 1937 as part of the Baycrest Lodge which consisted of a collection of cottages and a communal great hall, welcoming travelers by sea.
The property is located on 'The Cape' along Cape Rosier Road, in the hamlet of Harborside, down the road from Holbrook Sanctuary, the remarkable nature preserve to the north, and renowned organic farmer Eliot Coleman's Four Seasons Farm to the south.
The main house was completely rebuilt in 2022 incorporating a beautiful blend of open contemporary design while keeping the original rustic Maine cottage feel, with the ''bunk house'' details remaining upstairs and every room having lovely bay and ocean views.
