About this property
Acadia in the backyard, walk to Jordan Pond House or beach!
If you are looking for the perfect spot to host your family reunion, friend-cation, or book club retreat. . . THIS is what you have been looking for. These two new construction homes, located side by side, with plenty of space for your group to gather are located in idyllic Seal Harbor which is arguably the best spot on Mount Desert Island. Located adjacent to Acadia National Park, you can walk out to the back door and right onto the Carriage Roads. The property is positioned perfectly between the quiet luxury of Seal Harbor and the rugged beauty of Acadia. Iconic historic carriage roads, premier hiking trails, and the world-famous Jordan Pond House are just a stone's throw away. A short distance brings you directly to the exclusive Seal Harbor village center, its lush village green, the town dock, and a pristine sandy public beach. You are also just a quick 12 min drive right into downtown Bar Harbor, a 1 mile walk to Seal Harbor Beach, or a mile walk or bike ride to the infamous Jordan Pond House! Enjoy the perfect location away from it all with quick access to the highlights of Mount Desert Island. If you don't feel like leaving the house, you can enjoy looking at the park and watching the horses go by on the Carriage Road right from the deck or Great Room.
Both kitchens feature every amenity and cooking essential you could possibly ask for. The expansive islands are the perfect gathering spot for your group.
Enjoy relaxing in front of a fire in the spacious great rooms that feature beautiful wood paneled vault ceilings and quiet views into Acadia National Park.
The dining rooms has seating for 14 or 12, plus seating for 4 more at each large kitchen island. The kitchen is designed for cooking and has lots of space for multiple cooks to work together.
If you don't want to spend your time eating indoors, take advantage of the large grill and enjoy dinner on the large decks looking into the park. The front porches are the perfect spot for a quiet cup of coffee or listening to the ocean during a storm.
Seal Harbor is the secret gem of Mount Desert Island, located just a quick drive to Bar Harbor, but well outside the hustle and bustle so you can escape from it all. This home is as close as you can stay to the park without camping! The great room looks back into the serene woods of Acadia and you can enjoy our private trail that takes you right to the Carriage Road system. You can walk, ride or run to the famous Jordan Pond House and never have to fight for parking! It is also Seal Harbor Beach which is a perfect spot for a brisk swim, a beach walk, or playing in the sand. Northeast Harbor is also a short drive away where you can find more quaint shops and restaurants. Seal Harbor has a stop on the Island Explorer Route for convenient access during peak season. We are happy to share the contact info for our local lobsterman that fishes right out of Seal Harbor and you can meet him at the dock to get your lobbers right off the boat!
