Privately set along one of Brooklin's loveliest stretches of Blue Hill Bay, this extraordinary four-bedroom, three-full-bath residence represents a rare union of sophisticated architecture, uncompromising construction, and an extraordinary coastal setting.
The interiors are distinguished by an understated elegance and an exceptional quality of craftsmanship. Rich hardwood flooring and radiant heat extend throughout the main level, complemented by a high-efficiency heating system. Custom-crafted woodwork lends distinction to every room, while expansive Andersen windows and sliding doors frame the ever-changing panorama of Blue Hill Bay.
Architectural details are particularly compelling. Each bedroom enjoys its own water view, while a gracious sitting area overlooking the bay provides a vantage point from which to watch the rhythms of the coast. Lobstermen work their traps just offshore, while Cadillac Mountain rises majestically on the distant horizon. A beautifully appointed study/library offers a serene retreat, with views that invite lingering.
Beyond the house, the setting is equally extraordinary. A broad waterfront deck overlooks a remarkable coastal ecosystem where deer, wild turkeys, river otters, and other native wildlife are frequent visitors. Perhaps the property's most prized feature is its rare private beach--an increasingly coveted amenity along Maine's coast. This exceptional stretch of shoreline offers direct access to deep water and some of the region's most celebrated fishing and lobster grounds. Whether launching a kayak, exploring the shoreline, swimming with the tide, or simply sitting at the water's edge as the day unfolds, this is a level of private coastal access few properties can claim.
Rarely does a property combine architectural pedigree, enduring construction, privacy, and a highly prized private beach on Blue Hill Bay.
