186 Lopaus Point Road

With 28+ acres of mature mixed-wood Maine forestland gently sloping to over 2500' beach frontage along the ocean at the end of a point on exclusive Mt. Desert Island, very few properties in the state can offer this level of privacy and inspiring views, south and west from all points on the property. The former summer retreat for Pulitzer Prize writer Walter Lippmann and family, just a short drive to highly acclaimed Acadia National Park's wonder, this family enclave has a main house, 4 separate cabins, and a boathouse, all in grandfathered locations on the shore. Choose between individually updating these buildings to maintain their wonderful Maine charm and coveted proximity to the water. Or think more grandly about working with Maine shoreland zoning regulations to transform this seasonal property into something year-round and more substantial (some seller subdivision restrictions will also apply). The views, the privacy, the breadth of shore frontage will support the kind of capital improvements you have in mind. 'Irreplaceable' in a word.
