Stunning shorefront on Somes Sound with expansive deck, fire pit, Acadia trails

This extraordinary, shorefront, custom-designed home in the historic Hall Quarry area of Mount Desert Island, made with indigenous materials fits gracefully into the shoreline of Acadia National Park against which it abuts and Acadia Mountain on which it is perched below. With stunning views of Somes Sound from nearly every room, take in the parade of handsome cruising yachts and racing sailboats while relaxing by the fire or sitting on the expansive deck. This well-designed and light-filled home features open beams supported by mountain cedars and an open layout with a gourmet kitchen. With three floors of living space, this special home offers the utmost privacy without compromising space in which to gather and entertain. Guests to Acadia Lodge will surely enjoy the views from any one of many spots - the sunny deck facing the Sound, the north or south side porch, or the outdoor patio with a fire pit sheltered under a cliff. And when it's time to venture away from the house, follow the granite steps to a private dock with two moorings. National Park hiking trails can also be reached directly from this property and swimming from Echo Lake's beach, ledges or Ike's Point is just a few minutes away by car. All in all, with so much of the national park nearby and is within 10 to 20 minutes from the villages of Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor, Acadia Lodge offers the peaceful benefits of the "quiet side" without giving up convenience to the Park or to the shopping and dining each village offers.

Adding to the charm and comfort of this space are comfortable sofas, a desk area if needed, a gas-fired stove, and a baby grand piano overlooking the Sound! A half bathroom completes the first floor.
