+1c) LOCATION:
– Bar Harbor, Maine
Bar Harbor is the most popular coastal vacation destination on the East Coast, as it has been for 125 years, since it eclipsed in popularity its social rival, Newport, RI.
Bar Harbor is the largest community on the 40,000-acre Mount Desert Island.
Importantly, Bar Harbor is also the accomplished and zestful host community to Acadia National Park.
– Acadia National Park
The OceansedgeMaine property is conveniently located just 1 mile (bicycling distance from the subject property) from the Welcome Center for Acadia National Park, located on the other side of an inland promontory.
The 30,000-acre Acadia National Park, created almost exactly 100 years ago, was the handiwork of Harvard foresight and Rockefeller largesse.
Acadia’s mountains-meet-the-sea panorama is visually and experientially incomparable in the Eastern States.
Acadia is the piece de resistance among all coastal national parks in the US.
– The Hulls Cove neighborhood
OceansedgeMaine is located within Bar Harbor’s Hulls Cove neighborhood.
The Hulls Cove neighborhood is the most historic and prestigious neighborhood in the Town of Bar Harbor, and always has been.
Hulls Cove has had that social distinction since the town was first called Eden, for obvious reasons.
– Lookout Point Road
The oceanfront OceansedgeMaine property is located on Lookout Point Road within the Hulls Cove neighborhood.
Lookout Point Road circumnavigates a 50-acre peninsula fronting on the Atlantic Ocean.
That peninsula is a private and posted enclave for 10 oceanfront and additional oceanview homes.
Specifically, Lookout Point Road is a private and posted road, not a public thoroughfare.
– OceansedgeMaine property on Lookout Point Road:
The OceansedgeMaine property begins on Lookout Point Road at a gated entrance. The private driveway proceeds 1,000' down to the home situated on the shorefront of the ocean.
2. BACKGROUND
+2a) THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Beginning in 1883 during the Gilded Age, owners of summer homes on Lookout Point Road in Hulls Cove included still familiar names in:
– American high society;
– industrial commerce (Penn Central, General Mills, United Fruit, International Harvester);
– commercial banking and investment banking circles in New York and Chicago;
– American cultural history, particularly including women during the Progressive Era (political figures, authors, a Nobel Peace prize winner, Suffragettes, philanthropists, altruists), and
– a smattering of erstwhile prominent Confederates from Maryland and Northern Virginia and Florida.
The homes constructed by those initial summer residents were, as was customary in Bar Harbor at the time, enormous in size (as many as 17 bedrooms or more), enhanced by lush and lavish oceanfront gardens, and maintained by numerous resident servants.
+2b) THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
The subject property, developed 45 years ago by a NY socialite, has now been owned by the same successor family for all but a few of those 45 years.
OceansedgeMaine’s rental operation has been in business since 1995.
3. OCEANSEDGEMAINE ACCOMMODATIONS
+3a) CAPACITY
OceansedgeMaine comfortably serves up to 10 guests per stay (4 bedrooms, one oversized; 4.5 en suite bathrooms), although 6 to 8 guests are preferred.
+3b) RENTAL RATES
The subject property’s rental rates are commensurate with the stature and seniority of the property within the trade in New England (from $10,000 to $20,000 per week or more depending on season and intended use).
+3c) EQUIPMENT
The home is very comprehensively equipped, as the proprietor would be pleased to further describe.
This is a turnkey property.
4. AN EXPERIENCE, NOT JUST A PLACE TO STAY
+4a) RATINGS
Families coming to OceansedgeMaine during the last 28 years offered an unbroken string of 5-star ratings – perhaps the only such unbroken string of perfect ratings among properties listed with commercial listing services.
+4b) REASONS
OceansedgeMaine in Bar Harbor is considered far and away the best vacation rental property of its kind on the Maine Coast, for numerous reasons including:
-- 1-mile proximity to Acadia National Park;
-- immediate ocean frontage conducive to safe and easy use of that frontage for kayaking and sailing and swimming and fishing;
-- the historical ambience of that neighborhood;
-- the property's privacy and serenity within a secluded enclave served by a private and posted road;
-- the formal decor of that traditional home and its large rooms;
-- the house's art and libraries and antiques;
– the nearly tame wildlife (trusting deer, plus wild ducks, endearing chipmunks and song birds who eat from the hands of affectionate guests).
