Featured on Fine Living Channel, Somes Sound Near Bar Harbor in Bar Harbor

******* Inquire about our video tour! *******
This beautiful cottage overlooking Somes Sound was featured
on "Around the World in 80 Homes" on The Fine Living Channel in
October, 2004. It was built in 1895 and completely renovated in 1995
with special attention to restoring all its original details,
including woodwork, hardwood floors, turn of the century slate sink,
clapboard and shingled siding, etc. The cottage is located on Mount
Desert Island, in the town of Mount Desert and the village of Hall
Quarry. The cottage was the guest cottage to the home of Cyrus Hall
of Hall Quarry, who owned most of the quarries in the area and is
who the village is named for. Beautiful granite was mined in the
quarries of Hall Quarry and shipped from Somes Sound to destinations
all over the world.
The cottage is decorated with beautiful yet durable antiques from
approximately the 1870's to 1950's. Comfortable and casual, it's
like taking a step back in time to yesteryear in coastal Downeast
Maine! On the first floor, you'll find the kitchen with various
collections of antique kitchenware, an antique hoosier, butcher-
block countertop as well as all the modern comforts of home
(dishwasher, electric stove and refrigerator, coffee maker and
microwave). The dining room provides seating for 6-8 and the living
room offers great views of the Sound. The second floor offers 3
bedrooms with 1 queen and 2 double beds. The private deck off the
master bedroom boast panoramic views of Somes Sound and the
surrounding mountains. Or, sit in the hot tub on the covered porch
(off the living room) and watch the sailboats and lobster boats
float by. You may even see a lobsterman hauling his traps right in
front of the cottage while you drink your morning coffee.
With sloping lawn to the water's edge, the cottage is situated
approximately 250ft from the shore of beautiful Somes Sound, the
only natural fjord on the east coast. Extensive granite stonework,
including a patio, rock walls, granite steps and pathways,
complement the dramatic changes in landscape from mountain to ocean.
Located on the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island, the cottage is
still within minutes of all that the island has to offer.
Spend your days exploring Mount Desert Island's many villages
including Bar Harbor and world-famous Acadia National Park.
Opportunities for whale watching, boat rentals and charters,
fishing, swimming, tennis, shopping, kayaking, hiking and many more
are within minutes. Walk, drive or take Mt. Desert Island's new bus,
the "Island Explorer", available to the public free of charge!
Destinations include just about anywhere you want to go on the
island.
In the fall, enjoy Maine's spectacular foliage. From the porch, look
across Somes Sound for breathtaking views of the mountains of Acadia
National Park. Or, hop in the car for a quick drive to the top of
Cadillac Mountain for a bird's eye view of Bar Harbor and
surrounding villages. Come and enjoy!!
