About this property

Ideal Maine artist's retreat, next to Frenchman Bay Conservancy and near Acadia

This charming 1790’s 2-bedroom/1-bath farmhouse Cape possessing many original, rustic features and a glorious Southern exposure makes an ideal retreat for artists, hikers, or anyone seeking natural beauty with peace and quiet. Smell the pines or watch the beautiful fall colors while enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine surrounded by flowers in the stonewalled courtyard. Hike on the trails within the 300-acre Frenchman’s Bay Conservancy Long Ledges Preserve adjacent to the home; or play golf on the Blink Bonnie golf course in Sorrento only 3-miles away. Kayak at the nearby Tunk Lake recreational area, or on the sea at Tidal Falls. Just minutes away you can buy lobster at Tracy’s or the off-the-boat choice of Winter Harbor Lobster Coop. This fully equipped home (including high speed internet and wood stove) sits on a country road with thirty-five acres of land containing mature gardens, forest, three fields, and 1400 feet of pristine Flanders stream frontage. You will share the land with Maine wildlife including deer, wild turkeys, and hummingbirds. The newly renovated bath contains a walk-in shower. The magnificent Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park with its numerous biking and hiking trails is 15 minutes away by car; while the shops and art galleries of Bar Harbor and Blue Hill are 45 minutes or less away. Come experience the idyllic Maine life by spending a week or more at this historic home.

A Perfect Getaway
Returning to Maine, we wanted a comfortable home base from which to explore. We loved the rustic charm of this house - it had all the comforts and modern amenities we needed, while feeling cozy and relaxed. It felt like an “old soul” with “deep wisdom.” We are eager to imagine a return to the area and this house.

Beautiful Old Farmhouse
I loved everything about this home, the road it's on and the surrounding area. Close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia to make day trips easy, yet at the end of the day you get to escape the crowds and come back to a place so peaceful and inviting that you feel like you really have come home. From the country kitchen, the comfortable bedrooms, the large, yet cozy, living room, the owners have created a space so charming I never wanted to leave. The home is beautifully decorated. I felt like I had stepped back in time, you could feel the history, the generations who lived there and all the love that the owners have put into maintaining that feeling. The fenced in yard and private courtyard were a huge bonus. Our dog was in heaven. The only minor inconvenience was that there was no WIFI when we arrived due to a power outage from a storm that passed through the day before. In order to get back on line in a timely fashion the owner asked us to buy a router and he will reimburse us. This was unfamiliar territory for all of us, as this had never happened to him or us. We did manage to purchase a router and get WIFI back, though I would rather not have spent vacation time doing this. But storms happen and it was nobody's fault. The rest of our time in Maine was wonderful and this home was the perfect place to return to after a day of adventuring around the area.

Five Happy Days and Nights.
We stayed with our adult children and were thrilled to wake up each morning in the gracious and casually beautiful Cape Cod house with lots of light and views of Maine typography, pine trees, fields, and very pretty flowers. There was a sense of privacy and peacefulness as well as spaciousness for each of us to spread out to talk, to read, to cook and to eat. The kitchen was excellent for cooking and shared meals. We hope to return. The house is only a few minutes drive from Frenchman’s Bay. There are trails for hiking just off Punkinville Road which is used by high school track students. Being able to visit with dear friends who who live nearby made the visit perfect.
