Heron Cove

Beds: 1 King, 2 Queens

Discover the serene beauty of Bass Harbor’s inner waterways where bird life is abundant and the view is ever-changing with the tides. This updated and comfortable home boast bright and open living spaces with pretty views across its private lawn to the water. Launch a kayak (not provided), stroll to Archie’s Lobster just up the road for some of the island’s best lobster rolls, or walk to the Swan’s Island Ferry for a day’s adventure on an outer island. And, naturally, the rest of Mt. Desert Island’s treasures and Acadia National Park’s trails and attractions are yours to explore! Southwest Harbor’s village center is just 12 minutes down the road, and Bar Harbor’s village center is approximately 35 minutes from this location. At the end of a busy day, you’ll love being able to relax on the deck under the stars and soak up your Maine stay!

FIRST FLOOR: To the left of the entry, a stunning Kitchen with center island, updated appliances, counter seating for two, custom cabinetry, and showcase granite counter tops is well-outfitted for the discriminating chef. And note, new to us, in addition to the standard oven with the cooking range, this home features a multi-purpose wall oven that doubles as a microwave! Just beyond the Kitchen, a sun-filled Dining Room overlooks the water and features a table to seat eight to ten comfortably. A small Office and a Full Bath with combined Tub and Shower are also located adjacent to the kitchen. Sliding doors lead to the front deck. The entry hall leads to an open concept L-shaped Living Room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water. One end of the living area serves for watching tv, while the other end serves for conversation and enjoying the view. Just to the right of the front entry is your own personal spa space with sauna and Peleton exercise bike.

SECOND FLOOR: Primary Bedroom with Palladian window overlooking the water features a King bed and black out shades for those who want to sleep in. Two Bedrooms, each with a Queen Bed. (The photos of the third bedroom display a double bed, which will be replaced with a Queen prior to the summer of 2026.) A Full Bath with walk-in shower with multiple shower heads and a washer/dryer are also located here.

OUTDOOR SPACES: Expansive, furnished deck overlooking lawn and water features ample space for play as well as a cozy fire pit for evenings of star gazing. While easily accessible, waterfront is a mix of rocks and sand, and drains at low tide. Unlike other “mud flat” areas in the south, there is not an unpleasant odor associated with this shoreline at low tide.
