This secluded and quiet 3 acre property at the end of a private road sits on the shores of Somes Sound. Located in the village of Somesville on Mt Desert island, home of Acadia National Park, it is ideally situated between the towns on the eastern half of the island (Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Seal Harbor) and those on the quieter western half (Southwest Harbor, Tremont, Bass Harbor, Bernard). Guests can walk, bike, hike, kayak, and swim (if you like frigid water) right out of the front door. Built in 2012, the property includes the main post and beam house as well as two other cabins, which are rented separately (VRBO # 1013132 and VRBO 1013209) All buildings overlook the water and the private beach. The main house rental does not include the cabins unless you rent them separately. A discount may be offered if you rent all three. Again each of the buildings can be rented singly or together. PLEASE be aware that there may be rental times when all three of the properties are rented to different guests.
The main house is an expansive two levels with a large loft area, large kitchen, two wood burning fireplaces, a half bath and an extensive library. The main floor has two large bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath. The second floor has a separate bedroom with bath and the loft area has two built in beds as well as a futon. The back of the house is oriented towards the water and the views are stunning. The private beach has a large stone firepit - perfect for lobster bakes or hot dogs and s'mores. There is another round stone firepit on the lawn. The Monson slate patio is the perfect spot for relaxing and watching your guests canoe and kayak or even watching the sailing races that occur throughout the season. Two sea kayak are available for guests to use. The loons have been known to make their presence known - the best spot to hear them is the casita bedroom.
