Blueberries

Beds: 5 Queens, 1 Sofa Bed

Perched high on Ox Hill, the site of this home was once the grounds of the Seal Harbor Tennis Club. A favorite stop for the genteel of Seal Harbor and the Cranberry Islands until 1926, users of the court would hang a blanket along a tall fence – visible as far away as the Cranberries – to let others know the court was in use! Today only the lovely blueberry meadow and the former tennis house turned guest house, 200 feet from the main house, serve as reminders of this relaxed era. And relaxed is how you’ll feel, such a stunning home to come back to after a visit to Acadia National Park or a day out on the water. With a mix of outdoor settings from sun, shade and open blueberry fields, and inside spaces with lofty rooms, sunny views and massive stone fireplaces, Blueberries has an air of relaxed elegance. It’s the perfect choice for those to whom relaxing and entertaining demand equal time!

MAIN HOUSE, FIRST FLOOR: Enter through French doors to a sunny and welcoming Foyer. From here access the back yard via another set of French doors. To the left, the Great Room with its Kitchen and Dining Area is flanked by two separate Living Areas. The Great Room is awash in light from several sets of oversized French doors and boasts two showcase fireplaces, one on each end, with comfortable seating focused upon each one as well as a mini-split heat pump for AC comfort in the summer. A Mason and Hamlin Double B Grand Piano perched next to one fireplace further complements the space. Centered between these lovely areas one finds the high-end Kitchen, and the adjacent Dining Area with seating for up to 10. From the Living Area, A spiral staircase leads to a lofted Bedroom with Queen bed and small en suite half bath.
