The Bluff House, a former original Captain's House, is opening its doors for the next stewards to live amongst established history while making this Greek Revival their own. This 1800's property has had several renovations complete with new birch flooring, new lighting wired in the bathrooms and kitchen area and new plumbing in place as well. Currently the kitchen is a blank slate to create one's own timeless space and two out of the three bathrooms are ready for the next phase of life. This home is a gem that sits on the north side of the island where life is quiet and peaceful. Morning walks down the hill and along the trails of the 17 plus acres to the shore and then a walkabout on Huthchins Island preserve offers a certain kind of serenity that is uniquely noted here. The house sits high on a hill and has views of the ocean that are best seen from a number of rooms or the large deck that sits on the backside of the home. Blueberry Hill preserve and Pripet Riding Club are only minutes away. Islesboro is a twenty minute ferry ride from the mainland and offers a way of life that takes one back in time while having great internet, two local stores and public and private ferry services. This home has been updated throughout the years and beckons new stewardship. The two car garage can be used as is or this space offers possibilities, like an Artist Studio, wood workshop and more. A great island opportunity within minutes to the mainland towns of Camden, Lincolnville and Belfast.
