MOTIVATED SELLER! What's Special.... 500' of oceanfront living with a private peninsula Protected tidal swimming cove Spectacular scenery from various viewpoints Adjacent to and across from preserved land Uniquely modern rustic Maine home with multi-level balconies and surrounding water views Imagine waking each morning to the sound of loons and sipping your coffee while watching a spectacular sunrise across the water.

This Swan's Island home invites you to experience Swan's Island which many have described as '6 miles east of ordinary'. Beautifully designed, this special home has multi-levels with many private spaces both inside and outside of the house. It is light and bright with water views throughout the house which sits on 500' of ocean frontage that virtually wraps around two sides of the property.

From majestic granite boulders to patches of sand, a seasonal waterfall that flows into an azure green swimming lagoon, nature presents itself in every direction and invites one to be still and enjoy each moment. Swan's Island offers one the opportunity to step back in time to a simpler way of life and experience Maine's best on various trails, beaches, and incredible scenery without crowds or traffic.
