Uncommon Bar Harbor opportunity - 85 contiguous acres at the literal doorstep of Acadia National Park. Stretching from the gravel shores of Hulls Cove over a mile, deep into boreal forest. Within the 85 acres is the 10 lot Harbor Lights Subdivision, 53 acres of undisturbed backland and a quarter acre waterfront lot owning 150' of lovely beach. Lot 2 of Harbor Lights consists of an 1865 farmhouse, 1991 barn with finished workshop & robust 2016 solar array, two 1950's seasonal cottages, veggie garden and an idyllic farm pond, all with sweeping views of Frenchman Bay, Porcupine Islands & peaks of Acadia. Lots 1-6 enjoy a varied viewshed of ocean, islands and mountains, while Lots 7-10 are peaceful, forested homesites. Harbor Lights' subdivision road is mostly installed, with power lines & poles in place. Permitting is done for town water & sewer to the 6 view lots, and town water to all 10 lots. Thoughtful covenants & view study are done to ensure maximum views for all & a high quality neighborhood. The back 53 acre holds potential for conservation, walking paths or more home sites. With you at the controls, the options are unlimited...dissolve the subdivision and enjoy your own kingdom parcel just minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. Continue on with Harbor Lights Subdivision with investment made in the future, as home sites like this are incredibly rare. Employ your ideas for another use: campgrounds are an allowed use and the site was previously permitted for a 42+ unit retirement community. All that everyone loves in downtown Bar Harbor is less than 3 miles away. Acadia's visitor center, with almost 4 million visitors annually, as well as a main hub of the park's storied 45 mile Carriage Road network is a half mile away. The village restaurants, shops & walking trails of Hulls Cove are even closer and accessed via sidewalk directly from the site. A tremendous opportunity to flex your vision in a prime location on one of the most beloved islands in America.
