Welcome to “Barn Owl”, a special home that will create memories to be cherised. This exquisitely renovated 19TH century carriage house is in the heart of the charming historic district of Blue Hill, but set back from the street in a secluded surroundings. This luxury property has it all. It is an elegant and comfortable home with a large, modern gourmet kitchen that is excellently appointed. The kitchen opens to the welcoming great room that easily accommodates large gatherings or lends itself to cozy spaces. All bedrooms are en suite and the primary bedroom boasts heated floors in the bathroom. A full laundry room is an added bonus.. Centrally located within walking distance of Blue Hill’s eclectic stores & restaurants, library, playgrounds, with easy access to the rocks overlooking Blue Hill Bay. It is a short drive to swimming beaches and local hikes, Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor, the working waterfront in picturesque Stonington and historical Castine, home of Maine Maritime Academy. Venture out and explore all that Downeast Maine has to offer, or just relax in the peace and quiet of our quintessential New England seaside village.
Barn Owl was renovated and furnished with family and friends in mind. There is plenty of space to spread out in the 2,700 sq. ft. home, with enough privacy for quiet time as well. The original post & beam framing was exposed in the renovation process, and many hitches, hooks, and other hardware from the pre-Civil War carriage house days are still visible. It is full of historical interest and furnishings include many wonderful antiques.
Outside of the house, there is a large patio with a gas grill, fire pit, and lots of seating, a wonderful flower garden, a lawn that is perfect for croquet, and stone stairs leading to our wooded lot.
We supply all you might need for a relaxing vacation, from a stocked pantry to beach towels. There is a Pack’n’Play crib & a high chair on sight. If you have any down time after your days exploring, there are abundant games, puzzles, toys, and books for all ages. If there are other things you might require (such as a lobster cooker), please ask, as we may be able to provide them. If you would like help designing your Downeast adventure, we will gladly work with you to plan excursions that fit you interests and abilities from hikes in the Acadia to ferryboat rides to explore the islands in our bays.
