Perched high on a private road in Seal Harbor's exclusive enclave, this extraordinary 6.52-acre estate offers uninterrupted, southern-facing views of the Atlantic Ocean and the outer islands of Mount Desert Island. Designed for the most discerning buyer, it includes a 6,861 sq ft main residence and a 1,165 sq ft guest/pool house with a heated pool - both crafted to the highest standards of luxury, design, and livability. The main house, a refined 21st-century take on the classic shingle-style cottage, was designed by architect Keith Kroeger with interiors by Rob Southern Inc. Completed in 2012 with meticulous craftsmanship, it features light-filled living spaces, a paneled library, gourmet kitchen with Belgian Bluestone counters, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and a dumbwaiter. A wood-burning fireplace warms the formal dining area, which opens to a spacious covered porch with a granite hearth, all oriented to capture the panoramic ocean vistas. The private primary suite includes a vaulted ceiling, propane fireplace, ocean-facing porch, dual dressing closets, soaking tub, and marble walk-in shower. Upstairs are two guest bedrooms with en-suite baths, one with a private deck. The lower level offers three additional en-suite bedrooms, a wine cellar, laundry room, mudroom, and two-car garage access. Design highlights include vaulted ceilings, custom millwork, porthole and eyebrow windows, wood shingle roofs, and extensive natural stonework. Modern systems include geothermal and propane heating, generator, and advanced energy and water management. The guest/pool house features paneled walls, vaulted ceiling, a granite fireplace, full bath, kitchenette, and sliding doors to the heated gunite pool and blue stone terrace. Outdoor amenities include a built-in grill, picnic areas, and manicured grounds with wooded trails and private access to Acadia National Park. A once-in-a-generation estate offering unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and architectural excellence.
