Perched on 13 private acres along the Eggemoggin Reach with 525 feet of shore frontage, this 3,208 sq ft residence is shaped above all by its setting. Pocket beaches, flat granite ledges, a dramatic point of land, and sweeping northern, western, and eastern vistas across the Reach to Sedgwick and Brooklin create an exceptional combination of privacy, shore access, and unforgettable sunsets. Approached by a winding drive through quiet woods, the cedar shingle exterior with dark green trim settles naturally into the landscape. Designed by its owners with an artist's mindset, the home unfolds as three connected cottages, each with a distinct purpose: one for private living, one for gathering, and one for creative work. Breezeways link the spaces, creating an easy and natural flow throughout the home while allowing each wing to maintain its own identity. Fifty-four custom arched windows bring in Maine light, water views, and the surrounding woods from nearly every room. The home spent eight years in the dreaming before construction began, and that patience is evident in the thoughtful design and craftsmanship found throughout. A handcrafted mahogany front door sets the tone, while a four-panel glass wall opens the garden room to ocean air. Every doorway was designed wide enough for wheelchair access, a quiet expression of the long-term thinking that defines the home throughout. The property supports both creativity and entertaining with a dedicated wood shop, a north-light studio overlooking the Reach, and a combined billiards and music room. The second-floor guest suite with its own sitting library is well suited to guests, family, or a multigenerational arrangement. Built in 2001 by master builder Prin Allen, this property sits at the northern tip of Deer Isle, a quintessential bridged island off the coast of Maine. From the shoreline and western terraces, there are sweeping views of the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta as the fleet makes its way across the water each sum
