Perched high atop dramatic granite cliffs on Maine's Bold Coast, "Sea Ledges" is an extraordinary 172-acre compound with over 1.2 miles of diverse ocean frontage. Few homes on the Eastern Seaboard sit as high over the open ocean. Because the deep Atlantic runs straight to the rock face, massive storm swells hit with unfiltered force, exploding into the air for an unbelievable front-row spectacle. The acoustic backdrop is captivating, defined by the deep-ocean surge. During rough seas, the home provides the ultimate experience of the Atlantic's raw power, allowing you to hear the thunderous boom resonating through the cliffs right from inside the house, joined by the whistle of coastal winds and nesting seabird calls. It feels like a private national park, boasting over 8 miles of maintained trails for world-class hiking and rugged rock traversing. This multi-tiered network lets you climb upper ridges for vast horizons, navigate technical descending pathways to conquer the granite face, or step onto unique, private cobble beaches tucked between coves where you can safely enter the ocean waters. The meticulously renovated main residence frames these views from every room, crowned by a 4th-story "Eagles Nest" tower sitting top of the tree canopy. Enjoy cinematic views of Old Man Island--showcasing a striking, emerald-green Scottish grassland aesthetic--alongside Cross Island and the horizon toward Machias Seal Island, a famous sanctuary for bald eagles, puffins, and rare razorbills. For monumental upside, 5 additional premier cliffside lots feature grandfathered, pre-approved building footprints that are already blasted and cleared. An unmatched legacy estate.
