"Appletree House", a place to get away and enjoy one of the most peaceful and beautiful settings on the coast of Maine.

Located on Swan's Island, this delightful cottage offers pristine views over a field and salt pond, with extended views over Blue Hill Bay, outlying islands and the mountains of Acadia on Mount Desert Island.  The pond is fed by a year-round stream and is a place where the great blue heron and flotillas of seabirds congregate.

A private setting on  4.77 acres +/- with mature apple trees, berry patches  and garden areas along with 235' +/- feet of prime pebble beach shore frontage on Joyce's Beach
with seasonal anchorage. A great home for a  gentleman farmer, sailor, beachcomber, artist, writer or just a place to get away and reflect.

On the first level there is an eat-in kitchen with a wood stove, dining room with a fireplace, laundry area, 3/4 bath and a large living room with views toward the ocean.  On the second level there is a master bedroom, a full bath, a guest bedroom with an additional room that can be utilized as a child's bedroom, study or a large walk-in closet.  A handsome  roomy barn completes the improvements (See floor plans).

The cottage is currently licensed and used as a bed and breakfast/guest house. Want a test out what you may be buying? Go to
