Property Description

Tranquility, a private estate on Frenchman Bay in Hull's Cove, a quiet village in Bar Harbor, presents a rare family compound of three fully appointed year-round residences with a separate guest/caretaker apartment. This unprecedented enclave is located on 10+/- serene, parklike acres with 1,100' of deepwater shorefront on the grounds of a former estate. In this registered wildlife preserve, deer, fox, and bunnies wander throughout the property as eagles soar overhead. Paths meander throughout the property, around and over a gentle stream and reflecting pond; graceful arched bridges cross the stream, with teak and granite benches along the paths. An heirloom orchard graces a quiet corner of the property and leads to the water. A granite fire pit set apart from the main house, as are croquet and bocce courts. Several staircases access the beaches and rocky shoreline, and a deep water dock with electrical power and water service provides access to two offshore moorings.
