Sunset Farm

Beds: 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Double, 7 Singles

Those familiar with the New England architectural vernacular of “Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn” will instantly recognize that pattern in this charming nineteenth century farmhouse set atop rural Beech Hill with expansive views of distant mountains and meadows. Though historic in feel, this home doesn’t sacrifice comfort and modern conveniences with wi-fi throughout, updated baths, and not one, but two updated kitchens. Accommodating a crowd works well in this lovely home where sunsets, star gazing, and simply relaxing in a pastoral setting are a must! Beech Mountain Hiking trail is less than a mile down the road, and many other park attractions are within a 5 to 25 minute drive. Southwest Harbor’s village center for groceries, shopping, and dining out is approximately 10 minutes from this home. Looking to come in the early or late season? Note that West has baseboard electric heat, but East does not.

SUNSET FARM EAST:
FIRST FLOOR: Living room with mountain views and comfortable seating for six leads to a semi-formal Dining Room with stunning hand-painted, historic mural depicting rural life on Mt. Desert Island. Steps further, a breakfast room serves as a more intimate spot for dining or game play around its small table. Adjacent to the Living Room is a Bedroom with Twin Beds. Off the back entry hall is an updated Full Bath with combined tub and shower. Beyond the Breakfast Room is an updated Kitchen, well-stocked for meal prep. Able to be closed off or left open, the Laundry room, shared with Sunset Farm West, is also found near the Kitchen and serves as the connector between the two residences.

SECOND FLOOR: Stairs lead to three Bedrooms, one with a King Bed, one with Double Bed, and one with a Single. These three rooms enjoy mountain views and shared access to a Full Bath with clawfoot tub only.

SUNSET FARM WEST:
FIRST FLOOR: Entrance leads to a Living Room with fireplace and beautiful landscape and seascape murals of Mt. Desert Island. From this room, a door leads to the covered porch. To the right of the Living area is a Bedroom with Twin Beds and door to the porch. Just beyond the Living area is an updated Full Bath with combined tub and shower. Next is a combined Sitting and Dining Area with small table overlooking the hills which can expand easily to seat 8 people. Well-equipped Kitchen leads to the aforementioned shared Laundry area.

SECOND FLOOR: Stairs from the Living Room lead to two Bedrooms, one with a Queen Bed and one with Twin Beds. These bedrooms share a “jack and jill” Full Bath between them with a tub only. Both bedrooms have distant mountain and rural views. (Note: there are no connecting doors to the second floor of Sunset Farm East.)

OUTDOOR SPACES: Surrounded by lawn and natural landscaping, this home enjoys expansive views from its front yard and back covered porch with furnishings and a dining area able to accommodate all guests.

NOTE: The attached barn, used for storage by the owners, is not a part of this offering.
