Property Description
Faraway, on 4.4+/- acres with 1500+/- feet of waterfront, a deep-water dock, 7
bedrooms & 7 baths, located on the Eastern peninsula of Greening Island, overlooking
the Great Harbor and Mount Desert Island with the mountains of Acadia. A Classic
shingle style cottage of 7,100+/sft, fully renovated to modern standards while keeping
the graceful elegance of a 1900's estate. Nearly every room brings water views, and a
symbiotic connection to the natural landscaping. Cypress floors and many-beamed
ceilings set the stage for a wealth of locally sourced fieldstone fireplaces, no fewer than
eleven windows seats, and in one sitting room, a mural of ships at sea above a fireplace
surrounded by built-in seating. The kitchen was broadened and modernized with a Sub-
Zero fridge, an elegant French Lacanche range, and rainforest green serpentinite
countertops on top of the kitchen island. In 2005 after the renovations, fine arts painter
Dean Barger painted the dining room, walls with vintage scenes of the Great Harbor
islands and ships, to compliment the historic ambiance of the house. Modern living
fueled by solar power, two diesel generators as backup power with vast battery panels,
allows for off the grid lifestyle choices. Fields of flowering bushes and trees bring
beauty and native sustainability for the environment. A quick 5-minute boat ride from the
deep water dock is the mainland of Southwest Harbor. Also included is a separate
Captain's Cabin (2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 800 sft+/- with a new wrap around deck, and
1.07 ac+/-, and a Boathouse (.1 ac+/-. 1200 sft+/-) with a large open main floor and
kitchen, dining and bath on the second floor. Expansive south-facing water views out
the Western Way. Enjoy the summer breezes, sailboats racing by, in the comfort and elegance of this special place, so close, yet so Faraway.
