Situated on a rare 5-acre lot this property is an exceptional sanctuary for those seeking peace, nature, and unmatched beauty. Property Highlights: • Private Peninsula: Enjoy approx. 1,230 feet of private shoreline, offering the perfect setting for waterfront living. The home's unique location on a peninsula means you'll enjoy stunning vistas of both the emerald green cove and the expansive bay, visible from nearly every room. • Mid-Century Modern Design: The 'Deck House' features a signature post-and- beam structure, mahogany windows, and dramatic tongue-and-groove ceiling decking that is a hallmark of mid-century modern architecture. With three bedrooms, two full baths, and a cathedral ceiling in the living area, the home blends style with function, offering a comfortable and welcoming space. • Protected Tidal Swimming Cove: The property is bordered by a protected tidal swimming cove—ideal for kayaking, canoeing, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the coastline. • As part of the Island Retreat neighborhood, you'll have access to a shared dinghy dock. • Access to Acadia & Bar Harbor: Although the property feels remote and tranquil, it's just a short ferry ride from the mainland. The house is conveniently located for day trips to world-famous Acadia National Park and the vibrant town of Bar Harbor, where you can enjoy hiking, biking, dining, and more. This is truly one of the last remote, untouched spots in America—an opportunity to own a piece of Swans Island, where you can live surrounded by nature, peace, and beauty.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
