About the host
Hosted by Bianchi Realty Trust, Rai Bianchi - Trustee
I am the Trustee of a family Trust owns this property gifted to the Trust by the parents for their three sons (the beneficiaries). We rent out the home when family is not vacationing there and reinvest any surplus to constantly improve the property.
Why they chose this property
It is arguably the best site on Long Pond and one of the top venues on MDI enjoys a very charming camp with all the conveniences of a modern home and excellent recreational access to Long Pond. The locals have known that the clean lakes of Mount Desert are the place to be. . This home was purchased from the original owners as a modest camp and expanded to a modern lakefront home in the mid 80's with 3 bedrooms, a loft, and 4 baths. The property is heated year round avoiding the musty odor associated with many seasonal camps.
What makes this property unique
This vacation home enjoys knotty pine walls, vaulted ceilings and a chalet style wall of windows which brings the exceptional view inside. It is located in a private setting that rivals the beauty of Acadia National Park - and actually overlooks it. We never tire of the incredible panorama that unfolds from the south facing deck. Top O' The Ridge is a truly exceptional recreation destination and not just an access point to other attractions.
