Designed for avid hikers who cherish the Mount Desert Island landscape, this home sits just steps from a favorite trailhead at the edge of Acadia National Park. Nestled against the site’s heart, a weathered granite outcrop, the residence embraces its location’s rugged beauty.

A glass entryway welcomes visitors with a beckoning glimpse of the home’s rocky foundation and the breathtaking views beyond. Inside, the arrival hall provides direct access to the main living areas and a stairway leading to the private upper level. At the top, a rooftop deck opens to the sky, unveiling panoramic ocean, island, and mountain vistas.

Intended to be a peaceful sanctuary, the two-story home blends indoor and outdoor spaces while fostering a deep connection to nature. Sunlit, south-facing rooms highlight the sweeping views, abundant light, and fresh air the owners love.
