Stunningly private and serene, yet within walking distance to the library and the ferry terminal, this lot enjoys plentiful sunshine given its location on the eastern side of the island. The lot has been partially cleared and access is easy via the established Beale Point Road, and then from road's sideline via a well-blazed trail. Once on the lot you'll marvel at the fabulous view, which includes overlooking a lovely heart-shaped pond found at shore's edge, outward to the mountains and shoreline of Mount Desert Island in the distance. A perfect spot for your dream or vacation home. Don't delay!
Rare opportunity to have your very own storybook forest! Whether you're looking for the perfect spot for your rustic cabin, seasonal cottage, or year-round dream home, this lot would be perfect. Secluded and private, but with easy access to services, you get the best of both worlds. Your annual HOA dues help keep the roads in good condition and open to traffic in all seasons. You also have access to shared waterfront of 1600 feet as well as community dock.
This fabulous shorefront offering is situated off coveted Jericho Bay Road. The stunning and extremely private 12.75 acre +/-site features 870 feet of shoreline with its own small peninsula jutting into the protected waters of Seal Cove, as well as an expansive spruce forest and open fields. The parcel abuts hundreds of acres of conserved land, with easy access from a dead-end road. And shhhh... it's just a short walk to ''Secret Beach'' which was recently put into a conservation trust, and which promises epic sunsets! The year-round community of Swans Island is easily accessed by a state run ferry and sits just 6 miles off the coast of Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park. There is a small landing strip on the island, as well as Bar Harbor (BHB) and Bangor (BGR) airports nearby. For sailing and boating enthusiasts, these waters are unparalleled for their beauty. The possibility for you to create an amazing, private and secluded shorefront home must be seen to be believed! Please take note-- The exact boundaries of this lot are negotiable. A soils test has been done, with a 4-bedroom septic area having been identified. A new survey will be completed prior to transfer. Also, restrictive covenants allow for only one residence on this lot, and it may not be divided further.
Beautiful island lot with mixture of hardwood and softwood trees gently sloping down to a small brook in the back. A beaver is currently trying to make it small pond in the back but technically just a stream. Possible views of MDI from upper floors. Close walk to Joyce Beach
