Friday Feature: Falls Point in Sullivan, Maine

Falls Point is a dramatic and beautiful point of land with more than a mile of ocean frontage on Taunton Bay and the legendary Reversing Falls. Formed by glaciers, the 20.85 +/- peninsula's coastline is a mix of bold granite frontage and spectacular sand beaches. Accessed by a private road that winds through a spruce-clad forest, this unique property includes a sweet, year-round log cabin. The cabin has a large Great Room with cathedral ceiling and wood-burning fireplace, two bedrooms, a loft area and a covered front porch with filtered views of the woods and the ocean. The property also includes a unique, eight-story lighthouse tower, which the former owner had intended to use as his main residence. The view from the tower's observation deck is splendid, offering 360-degree vistas of the mountains of Acadia, the tidal falls and the Sullivan Bridge. Although it requires some interior repairs, the tower offers many potential uses. The parcel is peaceful and serene with beautiful trees and paths leading to wonderful beaches. This unique property offers many possibilities. Privately set, yet close to all amenities.
