Description: Goose Hill is an exceptional luxury lakefront estate, gracefully set on an expansive five-acre parcel along the coveted shores of Long Pond. Offering some of Mount Desert Island’s finest lakefront accommodations, the west-facing property is bathed in natural light throughout the day and and offers picturesque sunsets in the evening. The unique property boasts a spacious Main House, a fabulous and fully separate Guest House, and beautifully landscaped grounds designed for effortless relaxation and elegant entertaining.

A private lakeside dock and swim float provide direct access to Long Pond’s pristine waters, framed by the alluring mountains of Acadia National Park, the perfect backdrop for the estate’s luxurious accommodations. Guests enjoy exclusive use of both the Main House and the sizeable Guest House, each thoughtfully positioned within a serene, expertly designed landscape of stone terraces and lush gardens. The estate is ideally situated among towering pines along the glacial shores of Long Pond, regarded as MDI’s most sought after freshwater lake.

Here, breathtaking views, refined luxury, and an ideal Somesville location converge —just minutes from Acadia National Park trails, within walking or biking distance of the Island’s beloved Beech Hill organic farmstand, and conveniently close to all of MDI’s villages.
