About this home

Four Seals certainly lives up to its name. Perched on the shores of the Blagden Preserve on Indian Point this property looks out at exposed ledges covered with harbor seals and stunning western sunsets as the backdrop. This adorable cottage style home sits literally right on water's edge on Western Bay located on the northwestern side of Mount Desert Island away from the hustle and bustle of town. The bright open living room with granite fireplace has a wall of glass windows looking out at the peaceful bay, there are two bedrooms and two baths up and one small bedroom and bath down. Passing through the Nature Conservancy on your way to this incredibly unique property, you're bound to see deer and other wildlife sharing the over 100 acres of preserved land and hiking trails.
