Secluded Oceanfront Home on West Bay in Acadia

Close to Bar Harbor, but a world apart from the tourist traffic and
congestion, this large oceanfront home is located on West Bay at the
end of a 1/2 mile private road. A wildlife refuge on one side and
saltwater marsh on the other ensures total privacy. This home is
ideal for two families or one extended family--as the bedrooms are
at opposite ends of the house: a master bedroom suite with bathroom
and walk-in closet on one end, and two bedrooms with bathroom (and
Whirlpool tub) on the other (ideal for keeping the kids at a
respectable distance). Full kitchen with all appliances. Dining
room, den, laundry room. Sixty-foot deck facing ocean (plus large
screen porch). Kayaking, fishing, bird watching and clamming right
at your back door. Or explore Down East and nearby Acadia.
This home is located at the top of the Schoodic Peninsula, just a
few minutes drive to the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park
and Winter Harbor, and about 40 minutes to Bar Harbor. This is Down
East Maine the way it should be--total privacy and quiet, yet just a
short distance from the tourist activities of Bar Harbor. Kayak on
the quiet bay, or paddle out into the Gulf of Maine. Harvest clams
at low tide. Watch the sun set across the bay.
