A Secluded Arrival
A 300-foot private drive winds through towering evergreens before revealing Serenity Cove, a reimagined New England cape where modern luxury meets timeless coastal charm. The moment you arrive, the world falls away—replaced by the quiet rustle of pines, the scent of salt air, and sweeping views of the bay where lobster boats drift with the tides.
Despite the sense of complete seclusion, you’re perfectly positioned near Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, the Schoodic Peninsula, and the most breathtaking landscapes of Downeast Maine.
