Faraway, on 4.4+/- acres with 1,360+/- feet of waterfront, a deep-water dock, 7 bedrooms & 7 baths, located on the Eastern peninsula of Greening Island, overlooking the Great Harbor and Mount Desert Island with the mountains of Acadia. A Classic shingle style cottage of 7,100+/sft, fully renovated to modern standards while keeping the graceful elegance of a 1900's estate. Nearly every room brings water views, and a symbiotic connection to the natural landscaping. Cypress floors and many-beamed ceilings set the stage for a wealth of locally sourced fieldstone fireplaces, no fewer than eleven windows seats, and in one sitting room, a mural of ships at sea above a fireplace surrounded by built-in seating. The kitchen was broadened and modernized with a Sub- Zero fridge, an elegant French Lacanche range, and rainforest green serpentinite countertops on top of the kitchen island. In 2005 after the renovations, fine arts painter Dean Barger painted the dining room, walls with vintage scenes of the Great Harbor islands and ships, to compliment the historic ambiance of the house. Modern living fueled by solar power, two diesel generators as backup power with vast battery panels, allows for off the grid lifestyle choices. Just off the main house is the Writers Cabin, with an office, sitting room, half bath and waterviews to the south to inspire creativity. Fields of flowering bushes and trees bring beauty and native sustainability for the environment. A quick 5-minute boat ride from the deep water dock is the mainland of Southwest Harbor. Expansive south-facing water views out the Western Way. Enjoy the summer breezes, sailboats racing by, in the comfort and elegance of this special place, so close, yet so Faraway.
