About This Home

As of June 2023

Starboard Rock is an idyllic waterfront property on Vinalhaven with 3.71± acres and 297± feet of shorefront on Winter Harbor and stunning views towards East Penobscot Bay looking onto Stonington and Acadia National Park. The property includes a Mid-Century Modern home originally built in 1969 and designed by architect Norman Klein of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The three-bedroom house has been thoughtfully renovated and features mahogany windows, cherry paneled walls and floors, a walnut entry door and cabinets, and a 60' Lacanche entertaining range. The home is sited on smooth granite cliffs with areas of lawn and gardens, moss-covered ledge and mature trees. The property includes a small island, a private pocket beach framed by dramatic granite outcroppings, and access to a shared deep-water dock in the warm waters of Murch's Cove. The property is surrounded by conserved land and is a short walk to the Starboard Rock Sanctuary.
