This special get away is on Goose Cove looking out onto deep water. It is one of the last rare typical coastal beauties. There can be seen owls, peregrine falcon, eagles, and other typical Maine birds, foxes, deer, an occasional moose, seals, porpoises as well as many lovely fishing and sailboats. The sweeping views of the ocean, the mountains and the Islands are a rare and magnificent experience. Also, the moon can be see rising across the bay. Since this spot is known for the least amount of 'light pollution' the nighttime stargazing is remarkable. There is a telescope available for viewing. The house has many of the Maine architectural characters, including a floor dated 1867, which was taken down from an old barn. But, it has been renovated and has many of the amenities and comfort one experiences in a newer construction. There is heat if needed and all the windows and walls are very insulated from noise and weather elements.
Although summer is an ideal time to vacation in this wonderful home, this property can also be enjoyed at a reduced price during Fall foliage and in the Winter months. There are numerous hikes and bicycle trails open for your pleasure when leaf peeping, as well as restaurants in neighboring Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor. Since this beautiful house has a hand built granite fireplace and year-round heating throughout the house, it is a warm environment to spend even in the winter months when snow is on the ground and groomed cross country skiing open on the carriage trails (depending on weather conditions). The waters out front in Goose Cove become ink black and white caps become more prevalent as the colder air sets in. But, the light is more reflective and grand during these off peak season, which make this an even more remarkable retreat. And, there are restaurants in both villages that stay open year-round! Lobster is always available, too. The quiet, the beauty and the comfort ma
