About this property
Stunning Waterfront, Acadia National Park as your Backyard.
Come and stay  for a unique experience of Somes Sound Harbor. The Sound is the only fjard in the East coast. This fjard runs  deep into Mount Desert Island, the main site of Acadia National Park. See eagles, hawks, herons, wild fowls & other wildlife right at your backyard. Complimentary kayaks & life vests  are available to explore the Harbor. Enjoy sunrise, sunsets, moonrises or stargaze from the dock. 
Located at Mount Desert Island- with convenient access to Bar Harbor (10-15 mins drive) & Acadia National Park. The house is in between the Somesville Library & The Gallery at Somes Sound. The historic Somesville Museum & Gardens is right across the street. There are multiple hiking trails closeby.
You can't get any closer to the water than this with wildlife right in your backyard! The waterfront is tidal which is awesome. On high tide the ocean water is about 5 feet from the house. High tide is about 8-12 feet high. Low tide is perfect for beach exploration.
This is a 3 level house with 3 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bath. The fourth full bathroom is located on the main level. There are two master bedrooms located respectively on the upper and lower levels of the house. Each with cozy king size beds. The second bedroom in the upper level has two queen beds. This waterfront vacation home offers unforgettable views of Somes Harbor with its backdrop mountains of Acadia National Park. There's regular wildlife in your backyard! The backyard also features a private wharf with gangway to the floating dock.

Very conveniently located for exploring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Mill Pond is on the right side of the house. During Spring, Alewives (fish) would swarm under the private wharf waiting for the tide to be high enough for them to swim to the fish ladder towards Mill Pond then to Somes Pond. The beautiful Echo Lake with its sandy beach and Long Pond which is perfect for kayaking & stand up paddle boarding are just 5-7 minutes from the house .

About the host
Hosted by Mercedes Ang / Robard Abraham

We moved to Maine in 2005 and have fallen in love with this beautiful State. From the crisp clean air, crystal clear lakes,  majestic mountains, bold coast. We love being so close to Acadia National Park. We enjoy the outdoors and love to fish, hike, & eat good food.  
Why they chose this property
We love waterfront properties. This is just about 5 feet away from the water on high tide, that's how close you are. Great private wharf with gangway to the dock where you can lauch the kayak and explore the Sound on high tide. We updated this house with three picture windows that showcase beacutiful views of the mountain and the Sound.
What makes this property unique
We love the three levels of this house. It could house two families without being in each others way because it has two master bedrooms. One on the upper level and another on the lower level. Each of the three bedrooms has its own on suite bath. Plus a bonus full bath on the main level. You are just a step away from the Somesville Library, Gallery, and the Museum and Garden. You are at the heart of the Village of Somesville. You are also just a few minutes from great hiking trails and great bodies of water both salt and fresh water.
