Property Description
Property Highlights:
• Private Peninsula: Enjoy approx. 1,230 feet of private shoreline, offering the perfect setting for waterfront living. The home's unique location on a peninsula means you'll enjoy stunning vistas of both the emerald green cove and the expansive bay, visible from nearly every room.
• Mid-Century Modern Design: The 'Deck House' features a signature post-and- beam structure, mahogany windows, and dramatic tongue-and-groove ceiling decking that is a hallmark of mid-century modern architecture. With three bedrooms, two full baths, and a cathedral ceiling in the living area, the home blends style with function, offering a comfortable and welcoming space.
• Protected Tidal Swimming Cove: The property is bordered by a protected tidal swimming cove—ideal for kayaking, canoeing, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the coastline.
• As part of the Island Retreat neighborhood, you'll have access to a shared dinghy dock.
• Access to Acadia & Bar Harbor: Although the property feels remote and tranquil, it's just a short ferry ride from the mainland. The house is conveniently located for day trips to world-famous Acadia National Park and the vibrant town of Bar Harbor, where you can enjoy hiking, biking, dining, and more.
This is truly one of the last remote, untouched spots in America—an opportunity to own a piece of Swans Island, where you can live surrounded by nature, peace, and beauty. Whether you're looking for a seasonal retreat or a lifetime investment, this home offers an extraordinary escape from the everyday.
