88 Shore Rd, Southwest Harbor, ME 04679

Whether you're looking at the incredible view from this old home you just restored, or savoring the view from your large new home that you just built on this beautiful property, or you may be going to work every day at your marine-related business at this location, you'll still have this captivating view of Southwest Harbor, Great Harbor, Somes Sound and the mountains of Mount Desert Island. The views don't get much better! This is a 90-year-old house, in the same family since 1930 when it was built. The main house is solid, but in need of pretty much everything -- kitchen, bathroom, roof shingles, furnace, decor throughout. It may be a tearer-downer, in fact. There is rehab potential there, though. It's just up to you to decide what you want to do with it. Zoning permits a wide variety of uses. In addition to the main house, there is also a grand-fathered separate small building with plumbing (shower, kitchen sink, flush). Rough guest quarters, but lots of rental potential when renovated. This property is a relatively large lot in this zone (0.27 acres), ideal for development either as a maritime-related concern, or as a large house lot. The asking price is $29,000 below assessed value. Current zoning (as of April 15, 2020) allows for up to 70% lot coverage, or an 8,000 square foot foot-print. The allowed building height of 25 feet would reveal extraordinary views of the scenery and the constant activity of Southwest Harbor and the waters of Mount Desert Island. Public paved boat launch just a couple of hundred yards away. Immense potential.
