About the Listing 1454 - 023634,000735

On the market for the first time in a century, Shell Heap is a rare legacy estate nestled along the pristine shoreline of Northeast Harbor, and steps away from the entrance to Thuya Gardens and Eliot Mountain. Shell Heap is set on 3+ acres with a rare and distinctive seashore of traditional stone beach and expansive sand flats at low tide. With sweeping views of the Harbor and out to the Western Way, one can enjoy countless hours watching boats and the tide gracefully roll in & out. Start your day watching the morning light cascade onto moored boats as the sun rises slowly over Eliot Mountain, and at the end of the day, enjoy the breathtaking sunset over the inner harbor. Originally built in 1897 for noted rusticator Joseph Curtis, this historic property has remained in the same family for generations. Now, it offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for new stewards to shape its next chapter. With two distinct residences: Shell Heap North + Shell Heap South, it presents one w/ a wonderful compound supported by a classic boathouse, and 3-car garage w/ a 2-bedroom apartment located above. Shell Heap North, the original home, exudes timeless character w/ 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Its gracious stone terrace is perfect for alfresco dining under an awning lit by sunset glow. Shell Heap South, originally built as a guest house, study, and staff quarters, has been thoughtfully renovated into a standalone home featuring a galley-style kitchen, 4 bedrooms & 2.5 baths. Its bright north facing living room is adorned w/ a floor-to-ceiling window that frames the private garden. Coupled w/ a covered porch off the living room, that takes in the rolling field, beach & broad harbor views. Located just moments from the village of Northeast Harbor and the trails of Acadia National Park, Shell Heap offers the rare balance of seclusion & convenience. Shell Heap is a coastal Maine treasure ready to be discovered.
