Land with Home for Sale in Swans Island, Maine

Enjoy the best of Swan's Island at "Serena", a fully furnished custom-designed traditional post-and-beam home with midcentury-modern accents. Convenient first floor living and an expansive deck puts the best of cottage living at your fingertips. Watch the summer sunsets from the dining room table, the deck, or the hammock by the shore, and the moon and stars at night. The view of Blue Hill across Mackerel Cove is the "North Star" each day, appearing and disappearing, its mood telling the weather. The tidal beach is an ever- changing scene with each tide and each season, from a serene reflection of a summer sunset to a boiling northeaster. The cobblestone beach changes with the coming and going of the tides, the intertidal zone of continual interest, the wildlife changing with the time of day and the seasons--gulls and terns, cormorants, ducks and herons, eagles and osprey, schools of fish and seals looking for their nest meal. Be privy to crow conversations. Summer brings the fishermen, schooners, and boats of all sizes. Mackerel Cove is a working waterway, alive with fishermen and pleasure boats from schooners to kayaks. The coming and going of the ferry across the cove tells the time. Explore the cove by kayak. Deep water frontage enables a boat mooring that can be reached by dinghy or kayak from the shore. Swimming too. Complete with central heating, a Vermont Castings wood stove alone can supplement or heat the house on its own and take the chill oP on a foggy morning in August.
