Sound of the Sea
Bar Harbor, ME 04609-
Beds: 3 Kings,
Sound of the Sea is set only 75 feet from the high tide mark and at low tide enjoys the glorious exposed granite ledges with Frenchman’s Bay lapping up over them. This is a perfect place to observe the spectacular thunderous waves during and after rain storms and to enjoy a little bird watching as eagles frequently soar overhead. Sound of the Sea is conveniently located just a ten minute walk along the very private and beautiful Sols Cliff Road to reach nearby Acadia trails toward Sand Beach and Compass Harbor.
FIRST FLOOR: Enter into the hallway/reading room into the Kitchen modeled after those found in Michelin-starred Manhattan restaurants. Views of the ocean and open Dining and Living Room with Dining table to seat up to 8 people. Large screened in porch is set up for 8 people to dine and gather.
SECOND FLOOR: Each of the three bedrooms have a King Bed and an en suite Bathroom. (One bathroom has a tub/shower combination and two have a full sized shower with instant and unlimited hot water). The bedrooms enjoy views overlooking onto Frenchman’s Bay and the Gulf of Maine. Gorgeous colors in every room, modeled after the colors in the owner’s famous flower gardens in New York. Each color is their own creation; combining different pigments to get just the right hues, taking into account not only the particular wall, but also walls that you’ll see through open doors into other rooms. Also related to color, you’ll find Oriental rugs (mostly antique Persian) throughout the house. Each one, selected from among hundreds considered. Be aware that the colors are richer when viewed from one (length) side versus the other. Try it, and you’ll appreciate an aspect of these works of art that you may have missed before.
THIRD FLOOR: Turret Room with surround sound and large flat screen television. Deck with fabulous views, named “Eagle Watch”.

Bar Harbor’s village and surrounding rural residential areas are a popular destination for visitors to Acadia National Park. The town center offers diverse shops, restaurants and activities. Acadia National Park’s Hulls Cove entrance, as well as other major entrances, are located just outside the village center. Not all properties listed as ‘Bar Harbor’ are actually in the village of Bar Harbor, since the town of Bar Harbor encompasses the northern half of Mt. Desert Island, most of which is quite rural in nature. However, homes within this area are usually between five and fifteen minutes’ drive to the village center.
