6 Cliffhanger Lane, Seal Harbor

Cliffhanger rises above the village of Seal Harbor as one of Mount Desert Island’s most extraordinary private estates. Designed by renowned architect Douglass Fitch and built in 1928, this residence is sculpted from pink granite, crowned with a slate roof, and positioned to capture sweeping views of the harbor, outer islands, and the mountains of Acadia National Park. This exceptional residence blends timeless coastal architecture with thoughtful modern renovations designed for effortless multigenerational living, entertaining, or peaceful retreat. At the heart of the home is a dramatic great room featuring soaring vaulted and beamed ceilings, fireplaces at each end, and direct access to both a covered outdoor sitting area and an expansive terrace overlooking the harbor. The bright, open kitchen flows naturally into a welcoming family room, formal dining room, and butler’s pantry, creating an ideal setting for relaxed gatherings and elegant entertaining alike. The home offers seven bedrooms, including a spacious bunk room tucked into a separate wing above the attached two-car garage, perfect for guests, family, or private accommodations. Throughout the property, granite pathways wind through beautifully landscaped grounds filled with perennial gardens, flowering shrubs, and wooded privacy. An outdoor hot tub, discreetly nestled among the trees and overlooking the water, provides a serene place to unwind. Meticulously maintained and exceptionally private, Cliffhanger is a rare offering in one of Mount Desert Island’s most coveted enclaves - a remarkable property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
