Property Description
Nestled into the rugged coastline of Maine, this fully restored classic 1850s saltwater farmhouse offers historic character and unparalleled views of Mark Island Lighthouse, Penobscot Bay and Vinalhaven. The original shape, features, and natural landscape preserve a well-loved landmark. The home's restoration enhances its original charm, with lighting fixtures, bath elements, and hardware carefully sourced to honor its heritage. Modern amenities ensure comfort and convenience in this sanctuary for saltwater living. The house is enlivened by the glow from a living room wood stove, ocean vistas from each room, and plenty of daylight. There's ample space for family & guests to unwind, with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, featuring custom tile showers and three soaking tubs. The laundry room and entry has a Deer Isle granite radiant floor. An attached back house utility room connects to a barn workshop with an insulated second floor with woodstove, and a large woodshed. Two well-crafted barns - one newly constructed, the other carefully restored - along with 3 newly constructed cabins all have ocean views. The shore front lobster shack with open water views, a second floor sleeping loft, a woodstove, and a sauna is a place to relax and a staging area for water activity. Outside, a stone firepit and massive granite entry steps complement Stonington's well-known rugged inviting terrain of rounded granite outcrops and ledges, tidal pools, and a pebble beach below the high tide. Rambling lawns are interspersed with Maine's storied lupines, wild roses, and other native wildflowers. A forest with moss-covered ledges stands guard uphill. The shoreline and cove offer all-tides water access, anchorage, and a place to launch small boats, to explore the nearby archipelago of islands. The lobster fleet and grand wooden schooners cross the view just beyond the cove entrance, to the Deer Isle Thoroughfare and nearby lively harbor. Bring your own story to this iconic Downeast Home.
