Overview

Description

Dartholm sits along quiet Shore Road in Southwest Harbor, overlooking a picturesque harbor and offering a rich coastal heritage. Once the summer residence of a Dartmouth College president--lending the home its distinctive name--it has been thoughtfully updated into a gracious shingle-style cottage suited for comfortable year-round living. Expansive views stretch across Somes Sound, the Cranberry Islands, and Acadia's mountains, with yachts and lobster boats passing by. Beautifully restored, the home blends classic charm with modern amenities, featuring five bedrooms, including two on the first floor, along with inviting living and dining spaces, a chef's kitchen, and den. A newer, fully winterized addition includes the kitchen, dining area, and primary suite with geothermal heat, while other sections remain seasonal. A one-bedroom guest house, private dock, moorings, landscaped grounds, and proximity to Southwest Harbor's shops and dining complete this exceptional waterfront offering.
