Abenaki, located on the western shores of Mount Desert Island, occupies 24.8± acres of lush, naturally wooded land with an open meadow and small stream running through it. A winding drive meanders through the woods providing privacy and seclusion before arriving at a potential residence site, likely sited high on a bluff overlooking Pretty Marsh Harbor with western views of Folly, Bartlett, Hardwood and John's Islands. The property includes outcroppings of shatter-zone granite, beautifully marbled with quartz and basalt, as well as a long, sandy stretch of beach, totaling approximately 2,000' of coveted shorefront. There is also a deeply carved cove to the south of the property, and a private, deep-water dock with moorings accessed by a moss covered, pine needle path. Originally the site of a rustic cabin, the property has been prepared with all new infrastructure to support a large 'to be built' residence. A recently constructed contemporary two-bedroom, year-round guest house of sophisticated design and materials exists on site. A new well, septic system, generator, underground power, and enlarged driveway entrance are all supportive of a six-bedroom main residence and the existing guest house. Additionally, there is a 12' x 22' water's edge Boathouse with barn doors used for storage but with great potential for many more uses. Abenaki is perfect for a family compound or private kingdom property centrally located on Mount Desert Island and nearby to all the island villages and the airport. This remarkable setting is singularly captivating and must be seen.
