Opportunities like this don't come around often. Held in the family since 1993, this 5.5± acre oceanfront parcel offers 206 feet of frontage on Mt. Desert Narrows / Taunton Bay—a setting that feels both protected and expansive. The shoreline tells two beautiful stories: one end gradually slopes to the water, ideal for swimming, launching a kayak, or quiet mornings at the edge of the bay; the other turns cliffy, delivering a true Maine coastal feel. The land itself is wooded, creating a natural sense of separation and possibility as you imagine where your home might take shape. Infrastructure is already in place with power on site, a well, and a three-bedroom septic design with septic system installed—giving your vision a meaningful head start and saving significant time and effort. A graveled driveway exists and may need a small adjustment depending on your plans. The property has road frontage on South Bay Road, along with access via a right-of-way on Patten Lane, a year-round private road. Located on the Franklin/Sullivan town line, you're about 20 minutes to Ellsworth for everyday essentials, shopping, and dining, and 45 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park—close enough to enjoy iconic hikes, restaurants, and coastal energy, yet far enough to savor privacy, space, and quiet, all while enjoying the peace of your own waterfront. This is a rare chance to create something lasting on the water—whether a year-round home or a seasonal retreat meant to be enjoyed for generations. Come on over and build your home!
