With your first turn down the long, winding driveway, you will feel the stress of a busy life melt away as you arrive to “Tranquility,” a gracious home perfect for gatherings large and small. Featuring sweeping views east towards Bar Harbor’s Porcupine Islands and east towards the sunrise over Frenchmans Bay, this home offers updated living inside and plenty of space outside for relaxing. Wildlife abounds on the water with deer, eagles, loons, turkeys, and more making regular appearances on these lovely grounds! With water views from nearly every window, you won’t miss a thing while enjoying this stunning home.

To the right of the living area, a lovely Dining area with table that seats eight to ten overlooks the water and leads to an updated kitchen with counter seating for four and well organized work spaces. Around the corner is a small Breakfast Area and doors opening to a screened in porch. Just beyond is a sunny Family Room with comfortable seating.

The western most Bedroom has a door to a balcony overlooking the water. Both Bedrooms share a Full Bath with combined tub and shower. At the eastern end of the house one finds a grand Primary Bedroom with King bed, comfortable sitting area, and palladian window with easterly views. Fair warning - the morning sun comes up early!

About this area:

Bar Harbor's village and surrounding rural residential areas are a popular destination for visitors to Acadia National Park. The town center offers diverse shops, restaurants and activities. Acadia National Park's Hulls Cove entrance, as well as other major entrances, are located just outside the village center. Not all properties listed as 'Bar Harbor' are actually in the village of Bar Harbor, since the town of Bar Harbor encompasses the northern half of Mt. Desert Island, most of which is quite rural in nature. However, homes within this area are usually between five and fifteen minutes' drive to the village center.

Tranquility now

I have the pleasure of staying at this property in the Fall and Summer seasons. The home is an architectural marvel set on the waterfront of a beautiful section of Frenchman Bay. The house is clean and airy. It has a large kitchen and seating area. Filled with tasteful decor and an extensive collection of books. We especially enjoyed the floating dock. Experience the beauty of the rugged Maine coast in comfort and style!

Incredible Property

I have been renting vacation homes on the island for close to thirty years. This property is beyond amazing. The setting is quintessential Maine. There are walking paths through the forested grounds, a gravel beach and a float at the end of dock. The home itself is full of natural light, beautifully decorated and maintained. Sitting on the Adirondack chairs on the back deck with the view of Frenchman's Bay is a delight. I highly recommend this property for the finest vacation experience possible.
