Property Description
Built in 1984, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of privacy and luxury, surrounded by a haven of granite outcroppings, wild blueberry bushes, and mature plantings. The heart of the home features a completely redesigned, open-concept chef's kitchen equipped with high-end appliances that flows seamlessly into the dining and living area, creating a magnificent space for gathering. With four bedrooms and three and a half baths, the layout is both spacious and versatile, including one bedroom with an adjoining study or studio and a separate guest suite with its own private entrance to accommodate visitors in comfort.
Whether you are relaxing in the sunroom, the gazebo, or on the front deck, the property is designed for wildlife observation and quiet reflection - offering a variety of vantage points to take in the island's natural splendor. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the unparalleled convenience of joining the Giant Slide Trail directly from the property for forest walks through the National Park. As night falls, you can retreat to the elevated star-gazing platform to witness a kaleidoscopic view of the universe in the clear Maine sky or sit by a fire and listen to the rhythmic sounds of the forest.
Practicality meets passion with extensive storage and workspace, including a direct-entry two-car garage and a fabulous, oversized three-bay detached barn and workshop that offers a multitude of uses for the hobbyist or artisan. This estate is also remarkably close to the most sought-after destinations on the island. Giant Slide represents a rare opportunity to own a legacy property that perfectly balances peace and tranquility with immediate access to the very best of Acadia.
