Eastern Watch, located just outside of downtown Bar Harbor, evokes a sense of the by-gone Rusticator Era of the town's Gilded Age near the old estates of the Vanderbilts, Kennedys and Acadia's founder George Dorr. The classic New England cottage perched high above Frenchman Bay on Sols Cliff has views from the Porcupine islands to the Egg Rock lighthouse and beyond. Enjoy watching cruise ships and whale watch boats passing just below the oversized 130-foot granite and bluestone terrace with outdoor kitchen and granite fireplace. The 4 bedroom main house is a John Libby timber frame with a three story cathedral living area that boasts a granite fireplace and stonework. Built in 1995, the home was remodeled in 2006. Beautiful master suite with views of the bay and islands; master bath with walk-in shower area with soaking tub and just around the corner is your own gym area. The second floor of the carriage house is a two bedroom apartment with a kid's bunk room and play loft above. If you have any concerns with global warming, this beautiful estate sits high on a bluff that is over 100' above the ocean so you'll always have the same shoreline and view without ever having to worry about any potential rise in sea level

Once every few decades a truly unique Northeast Harbor waterfront property comes on the market; Cow Cove now presents just such a rare opportunity. Encompassing over 6 acres of fields, woods, lawn and extensive shore-front stretching along the east side of the harbor, this delightful summer compound is graced by a vintage Peabody & Stearns 19-room main house, well-known to mariners for its iconic twin white chimneys. The exceptional property enjoys an unparalleled location in the harbor and includes a secluded guest cottage nestled in trees on a peninsula overlooking the inner harbor, a cozy carriage house with attached storage barn, and a private pier with multiple floats.

Stroll along meandering paths, across the natural fields and through lovely stands of mature trees. Take a gentle row or paddle across the harbor to the bustling village of Northeast Harbor. Watch osprey and eagles soar, herons fishing the shores, or harbor seals surfacing in quiet waters mere yards away. Cow Cove is a setting at once part of the vibrant harbor yet discretely situated to afford privacy. Enjoyed by one family for over 70 years, this enchanting property now offers you everything you could desire in a unique waterside summer retreat.

With 28+ acres of mature mixed-wood Maine forestland gently sloping to over 2500' beach frontage along the ocean at the end of a point on exclusive Mt. Desert Island, very few properties in the state can offer this level of privacy and inspiring views, south and west from all points on the property. Former summer retreat for Pulitzer Prize writer Walter Lippmann and family and a short drive to highly acclaimed Acadia National Park's wonders - this family enclave has 5+ grandfathered structures, there being a main house, 4 separate cabins, and a boathouse. Choose between individually updating these buildings to maintain their wonderful Maine charm and coveted proximity to the water. Or think more grandly about working with Maine shoreland zoning regulations to transform this seasonal property into something year-round and more substantial. The views, the privacy, the breadth of shore frontage will support the kind of capital improvements you have in mind. Irreplaceable in a word
