12 Harbor Lane, Brooksville, ME, 04617 | $2,950,000

Perched on a steep bluff overlooking Orcutt Harbor, this Peter Forbes design melds wood and glass into an exquisite work of art. Designed metaphorically to be a bridge from the deep woods to the rocky bluff and ocean beyond, this meticulously maintained home progresses from the enclosed utilitarian demands of a 2-bay garage, shop and laundry, to the private realms of the primary suite and guest bedroom, both with their own private bathrooms, to the impressive open living areas with wood cathedral ceilings in the kitchen, living and great room and finally the crème de la crème being a soaring floor to ceiling wall of glass framing the incredible view of the forest and the sparkling blue waters of Orcutt Harbor. The Great Room opens to an exterior deck that offers stunning, elevated views of the harbor's water below. A highlight of the design is the intricate wood ceiling with curved beams and open concept floor plan, ideal for entertaining. The living room is accented by a beautifully crafted granite, wood-burning fireplace while the chef's kitchen has a thoughtful design perfect for preparing meals while interacting with guests. The first floor also includes an office with built-in desk. The step-up area of the home includes a large den with cathedral ceilings and a spacious attic area currently used as a dark room, ideal for storage and offering expansion potential.
This 13-acre property is very private and boasts natural landscaping with 647 feet of deep-water frontage on the harbor. A conservation easement on the property protects the beauty of this incredible setting while allowing for the construction of a future guest cottage. For boating enthusiasts, a deep-water dock provides unfettered access to some of the best sailing waters on the East Coast. The dock is reached by a gentle sloping path in front of the house. This impressive property is close to the storied Buck's Harbor as well Blue Hill and Stonington and a easy drive to Acadia National Park.
