Property Description

Nestled in an unusually natural setting on a six acre elevated site with 155 ft. on the water and a beach, this contemporary has views of Taunton Bay from all rooms except one of the bedrooms and the bathrooms. An open living room has a wall of windows to the bay, built-ins, a wood burning fireplace with additional built-ins dividing the dining room with a wall of windows. Easy galley kitchen with plenty of cabinets and a pantry, all a few steps for your prep and cooking needs. The den, off the primary bedroom, opens to the deck. A natural wood ceiling, windows on the water, a wood stove and built-in book shelves complete this cozy reading room and office space. Three bedrooms, two of which have glimpses of the bay and two full baths are all on the back side of the house. The beach is accessed by steps from the lawn. In a protected cove on the bay tempered from the open ocean's winds and seas, the house and land together hold a calmness. Taunton Bay is a kayaking mecca for bird watching or just a peaceful paddle in and out of coves. Walk to summer concerts at the renowned Monteux School & Music Festival with a public symphony concert led by student conductors & musicians each Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Short distances to many hiking trails on the Hancock Point Peninsula, tennis courts, and harbor. Three outstanding restaurants minutes away and half way between Mt. Desert Island and Acadia National Park and the Schoodic Peninsula's branch of Acadia.
