As named '' The Precipice'' was sited on the top of a ledge ..... perched and turned for ultimate views up and down Burnt Coat Harbor. This incredibly unique cottage is shaped by the contours of its site with multiple tiers each designed to capture the view. The kitchen and bath are on the entrance level with the living room and a bedroom dropping down a few steps to capture views and light from north to south. Distant views of the mountains of Mount Desert Island to the north and island studded views down through the harbor's entrance to the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Extended views from an office at the top of the stairs and then stepping down to the primary waterfront bedroom with private deck . Burnt Coat Harbor on the south side of Swans Island is known as one of the best protected harbors in Eastern Maine. It is over a mile long and a half mile broad with enough water for even deep drafted boats. In summer the harbor is a favorite spot for the Maine Windjammers to drop anchor for the night. Maine at its best
