This unique & beautiful contemporary home was built in 2006 by Acorn Builders. It sits prominently on over 1 acre, high above the island's ragged coast, overlooking Maine's historical & geological gem, the Giant's Stairs. With well planned landscaped privacy, you can enjoy the dramatic coastal scenery with gorgeous views of eastern Casco Bay, it's crashing surf, observe lobster boats hauling traps, sailboats heeling in the wind, and watch the daily habits of the wildlife; Eiders, seals porpoises, & minke whales, to name a few. With the Giant's Stairs far below the home's setting, it also provides for low taxes as part of this beautiful conservation land, a coastal treasure, cared for by the Town of Harpswell. This home is 1 of 2 on this very private road. It has 2 large attached garages & an oversized garden shed for storage. Beautifully landscaped & cared for with a new generator that operates the entire home automatically when needed. The 4200 sq ft interior is open & bright taking advantage of the magnificent ocean views from almost every window. A new Treks deck was built in 2020 providing a large outdoor living space with 180 degree views of Casco Bay & Islands. The primary bedroom suite is located on the main level. The open kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room & half bath off the main foyer, add to a great living space. 2 additional large bedrooms with full baths and an extra large living room make the second floor exceptional. The duct system blows cool air throughout the home in the summer, making it comfortable year round. 9 Hems Way is one of a kind & built for Maine's natural scenic beauty making this home a ' must see' if you love & want to be a part of Maine's coastal splendor.
