Overview

Description

Goose Hill is a remarkable family estate located on Long Pond - one of the more sought-after areas of Mount Desert. Very few properties ever come up for sale on Long Pond, especially with the privacy, quality and cachet found at this extraordinary, year-round family compound. The main residence is a shingle-style cottage design with a gently curved eaved roof reminiscent of the Rusticator days. A flagstone walkway, amongst a profusion of lush plantings of pink and blue hydrangea, birch trees and ferns, leads to a farmer's porch at the front door. The impeccably maintained residence encompasses nearly 6,000 square feet of living space on three floors, and is constructed of high-quality materials, appliances and craftmanship. The spacious first floor is open and airy with a large living room with granite fireplace, open kitchen with soapstone counters, butler's pantry, formal dining room, and separate den or study with double doors opening to a deck overlooking the pond. On the second floor, the primary bedroom has a soaring ceiling with skylights and overlooks the pond. The en-suite primary includes a lovely cherry built-in shelving unit, walk-in closet with additional dressing area, and a full bath with a pebble floor and double shower. There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor, as well as a full bath and a laundry room. The lower walk-out level offers a workout area, family room, infrared sauna and full bath. There is also an additional large bedroom on this level. The guest house is located above an oversized two-car garage and includes a large living and dining area overlooking the pond, and two bedrooms with full bath. The barn has a two-bay car storage area with an enclosed workshop/studio. On the second floor there is a finished office with bath, and an additional unfinished room.
