''Valley Farm'' in Sorrento has been restored to its original 1890s design. Set back from a country road on 19 +/- surveyed acres of lawn, field, and woodland, the lovely home has a spacious attached unheated ell. It is currently furnished with a large dining table and sideboard, with a loft for workshop and storage space. The outsize New England-style barn provides ample space for gardening/carpentry as well as social activities. It continues to a covered deck with views of garden beds, fields, and woods. The entryway to the house opens into a welcoming eat-in farmhouse kitchen with original tin ceiling and built-in cupboards. An adjoining pantry leads into the living/dining room. The original two-over-two-pane windows flood the spacious room with light. With an oak china cupboard built into one end and an oak-framed fireplace sitting at the other end, the room emanates both character and comfort. The front parlor/study features incised oak molding that surrounds floor, ceilings, and windows. Both living areas have oak flooring and period lighting fixtures. Upstairs are the spacious primary and two additional bedrooms, each with well-chosen wall paper, painted floors and the original lighting fixtures. Some period furniture will be available to those interested. A 5-minute drive past ''Blink Bonnie'' golf course takes you to the beautiful Down East coastal community of Sorrento, with its working harbor and pleasure boats, quiet walks, swimming hole and tennis courts. Another 45 minutes' exploration in both directions leads to the vibrant cultural and recreational centers of Schoodic Peninsula and Bar Harbor's Acadia National Park. ''Valley Farm'' has become an increasingly rare property in the area, a lovely home for vacation or year-round living.

A rare jewel of a home with sweeping views plus all the benefits of a very lovely seaside village! Many rooms overlook the harbor with the mountains of Acadia National Park in the distance. The living room and sunroom are quite spacious and easily accomodate large gatherings with a view. The wood stove keeps the living room cozy in the winter when the waves splash nearby. Take in the seabreeze from the upstairs ocean-side bedroom with direct access to a second floor deck. The circle drive provides convenience, while the front yard greets you with many mature plantings/flowers. Entry to the home is by either the formal foyer or the attached garage. The backyard is mostly woods and very private from neighbors. The patio off the kitchen is on the ocean-side adjacent to the wooded area. Next to the garage is an RV hookup (for septic, water supply, and electric). The primary bedroom ensuite is on the ground floor, as is the laundry. All bedrooms have a walk-in closet. Just a couple of minutes take you from your doorstep to the water's edge. The town-owned docks could not be any closer! Enjoy the premium location and the tranquil feel of this home all year long. One of the best views of Sorrento Harbor! Close proximity to local tennis courts, golf course, & sailing club.
