With a rocky beach and sweeping views to Mount Desert Island and the mountains of Acadia, Mosswood is a classic shingle-style oceanfront cottage that has been in the same family for generations. You now have the opportunity to make this unique island home yours. The cottage interior is sweet and rustic, with wood floors, a large great room with two wood-burning fireplaces and a built-in window seat. Large glassed-in sunporch overlooks the ocean and Mount Desert Island. The second floor has seven bedrooms, many of them with water views. Cottage and outbuildings need some TLC. Located on the beautiful island of Islesford, which offers beautiful beaches, a popular waterfront restaurant, post office, galleries and a small store. The island is accessible from the mainland by private boat or the mailboat which operates year-round.
