Bar Harbor - Beach Property For Sale #5421173

Standing above the shores of Hull Cove since roughly 1865, this historic property has evolved into a dynamic homestead offering multiple structures, open space, a farm pond, next door shore access & an incredible viewshed across ocean, islands & the peaks of Acadia. The 1.35 acre parcel is Lot 2 of Harbor Lights, Bar Harbor's newest neighborhood, & with that enjoys private access to a lovely gravel beach as well as town sewer & water service. The 3 structures on site include the original farmhouse, a 1991 barn with an attached 2004 workshop and a 3 season cottage. The farmhouse without question will be a renovation project for the new owner, though is entirely livable at the present. An open kitchen, dining & gathering area all boast incredible views to Hulls Cove, as does the expansive ocean facing deck. Living room, office, 3 bedrooms, multiple storage rooms & bathroom round out the interior spaces. A fair bit of the home remains consistent with its 19th century roots and will need restoration. Without doubt, the setting, location & views will reward who takes this challenge on. The barn was built in 1991, and with its 2004 heated workshop addition offers an impressive 4,600+ sf of interior space on 3 levels. The barn's 2016 solar array provides more power than the entire property consumes. For those with a mind for a family compound, the barn is zoned for conversion to residential use and will enjoy fantastic Acadia views if that were to happen. The seasonal, 1 bedroom cottage is a classic 1950s design with respectable maintenance provided to it over the years. Like the other structures, the views from the cottage are superb. A small meadow area flanks a lovely farm pond, both of which are popular with wildlife, but not the fertile vegetable garden, as fencing keeps the harvest safe. Quite literally at the doorstep of the national park, it's a 3 minute drive to downtown Bar Harbor and even closer to the park's carriage roads & village amenities in Hulls Cove.
