Cozy Maine Cottage set on four wooded acres in a most peaceful place on Mount Desert Island. Immerse yourself in the woods on a quiet hillside above Mill Brook Stream. The light-filled cottage is inviting even on the coldest of days. While in warmer months, the lovely post and beam screen room will have everyone gathered inside. This property has it all: it abuts conservation land; the structure was built with expansion in mind; the septic system has a 4-bedroom capacity. And, it is being offered fully furnished.
