About This Home
Welcome to Windswept, a literary landmark & coastal sanctuary nestled along the unspoiled oceanfront shores of Dyer Bay in Steuben, ME. Once the beloved summer home of acclaimed author & educator Mary Ellen Chase, this historic estate captures the essence of 1920s Maine cottage charm—simple, elegant, & deeply connected to the land & sea. Set atop the bluff on 5 acres of meadow & spruce trees, with 1,100 feet of private, protected waterfront with 270 degrees of sweeping water views, Windswept is surrounded by the Petit Manan Point Division of the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge, along with state & federal conservation lands, offering unparalleled privacy, unlimited exploring, birding, & hiking, & a front-row seat to Downeast Maine's raw beauty. Painstakingly restored from the ground up in 2012 by master architect Robert Knight, the home's original layout & spirit were honored at every step. Rich wood floors are complemented by classic fixtures & the warm authenticity of the 1920s aesthetic. The original hand-laid stone fireplace was rebuilt stone by stone, & every room in the home enjoys a water view. The wraparound deck offers daily theater: lobster boats gliding across the bay, eagles soaring, & sunsets blazing behind Cadillac Mountain & Mount Desert Island. A new 36' x 48' barn accommodates boats, kayaks, vehicles, or future creative endeavors. The grounds feature winding trails & quiet spots perfect for reading, writing, or simply taking in the sound of the wind through the grasses & the cry of seabirds overhead. Located in a remote & private community once part of the Petit Manan Land Company, this home offers utmost peace & seclusion, yet is just 30mins from the Schoodic Peninsula, 1hr to Acadia National Park, 1hr to Bangor International Airport, & 45mins to Bar Harbor Airport. We invite the next stewards to fall in love with the Bold Coast of Maine from this very special property. Property is gated. No property access without an Appointment
