The gracious, efficient residence easily accommodates a large extended family with staff or a quiet oceanfront respite from a busy city.

Magnificent gardens by award winning designers provide color and quiet sitting areas with both mossy woodland or ocean views with pink granite ledge backdrops. Superior craftsmanship and quality are visible at every turn, and maintained to the highest standards.

Located on six private woodland acres with 650' of dramatic pink granite oceanfront, Wanakiwin provides one of the most spectacular settings along the coast of Maine, and particularly in this coveted neighborhood.

The Station, built in 1880, was once known as the US Coast Guard Life Saving Station on Little Cranberry Island, one of the archipelago islands off Mount Desert Island. The Station was strategically located on a prominent south facing point of land, with outstanding open views to the Atlantic, the thrum cap, also known as the Green Nubble, and Bakers Island, where watchmen looked for ships in distress and manned lifeboats to save them. The Green Nubble has 1.5 acres which is also part of this property. Decommissioned and privately owned since 1946, The Station, offered furnished, now has been attractively renovated and updated for a three-bedroom residence, with living and dining areas, updated kitchen, large granite fireplace, dramatic viewing tower bedroom with 360-degree views, and an oversized wrap-around deck surrounded by a granite boulder seawall.
