Description
Built by John Aspinwall in 1917, this classic Maine three-season retreat is truly one of the most beautiful island properties in the mid-coast region. The property is peaceful and secluded with 3809' of water frontage and encompasses 95 acres with spectacular views from all sides of the peninsula. Aspinwall is a sailor's dream with two new moorings, a substantial deep water dock and granite pier with views over Flying Passage and out to Muscongus Bay. The historic main house has been tastefully renovated and has 4 bedrooms, a stunning living room with an oak -truss cathedral ceiling and a 12 foot wide stone fireplace. A glassed-in sun porch with commanding water views, decks overlooking the private beach, primary bedroom with double-sided fireplace, sitting room and large en-suite bath. A well-equipped country kitchen with butler's pantry makes the home perfect for entertaining family and friends. Added in 2007 is a large barn with a spacious year-round guest apartment above that sleeps four comfortably and has a deck overlooking the cove. Two cottages are tucked in the evergreens close to the shore. One is a cozy sleeping cottage with a stone fireplace, the other is furnished as a delightful game room but easily converted to an additional sleeping cottage. An artesian well provides ample water supply. All electricity is generated internally. The solar, electric and generator systems were professionally installed, and the main house and guest house live like a home on the grid. Satellite provides television and internet service. The property is being offered fully-furnished and equipped. Take a step back in time. Boundless opportunities await you at Aspinwall.
