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! Ready to see it?
