Ninetyseven acres on North Haven that define unique and diverse. An 1828 saltwater farmhouse that current and previous owners have preserved & maintained, sustaining the integrity of the structure while ensuring comfort and convenience. An arboretum with hundreds of varieties of trees & shrubs that represent ancient and modern vegetation noted for visual beauty, fruits, and bloom times. Cleared fields that melt into shaded glades and old hardwood forest. Gently sloping topography. The shorefront has several stunning house sites, an alluring pebbleandsand swimming beach (400feet to water at low tide) in a protected cove with many potential anchorages, and a shared, naturedesigned, freshwater ''infinity pond'' at the ocean's very edge (a veritable ''lap pool'', 1/10th mile long!). From the shoreland, dozens of Penobscot Bay islands beckon, with the Camden Hills shaping a spectacular backdrop — a dramatic setting for additional structures or houses that might be separate but not distant. It's unlikely that there is a property anywhere in the world that offers the blend of the natural and the nurtured in this magic place. There is something for everyone: a perfect site for a family compound. Complementing the 1828 seacaptains' home, there is an enormous, modern twostorey barn ideal for indoor rainy day activities & exploration; a twocar garage and tool house; a long sixbay structure for boats, vehicles, hay, or other storage; three ponds that invite swimming, canoeing, diving, rafting; massive cleared fields that lure wildlife; several miles of groomed foot or vehicletrails; a wisteria arbor for quiet contemplation; a family cemetery, carefully preserved & notated, dating to 1817; a huge pasture for livestock or horses; deerproof vegetable gardens; a grape arbor; an enclosed orchard with peach, apricot, and cherry trees, as well as a 19thcentury pear & apple orchard adjacent to the house. While perfectly tended, the overall impression is natural beauty.
