About this property

Welcome to historic Cedar Point, Hancock, Maine located on over three waterfront acres between Acadia National Park and its sister park Schoodic. The sun rises through the pines and sets over Taunton Bay ablaze with color. Cross the bluestone patio that surrounds the house and enter to view a towering granite fireplace. The house is all on one floor and is furnished comfortably and imaginatively with collectibles and antiques.

An oversized island provides relaxed seating around a chef’s kitchen. A table for six with water views on three sides is great for eating or gaming. The media center looks over the indoor fireplace (gas logs) and features a 65” television.

Enjoy the large hot tub with ocean views, and sun on the patio in Zero-Gravity chaises and rockers.

The house has a king suite with private bathroom. Two queen bedrooms share a bathroom. Both tile baths have glass showers with granite seats, rain showers and steam. Sleep comfortably on Casper, Purple and Magniflex matresses with premium pillows and linens. Each bedroom opens out to its own patio and water view. Enjoy sleeping with windows wide open for the ocean breeze.

The patio fire pit supplied with wood will warm you as you star gaze.

Hancock has offered hospitality since the early 1800’s when a railway brought guests to the Downeast Maine Coast and its famed hotels. Come explore our natural beauty in Acadia National Park and the Islands. Enjoy the cultural richness of music, the arts and outstanding seafood.

Hike Acadia, bike Schoodic, kayak, sail, lobster and whale watch. Enjoy concerts in Hancock at the Monteux School for Conductors and Orchestra Musicians, and on Mount Dessert Island at the Bar Harbor Bach Festival, Kneisel Hall Chamber Concerts, and performances at the Criterion Theatre. Eat out at the many fabulous local restaurants (several favorites just down the road).

Pics doesn’t do justice to how nice this home is

The house was spotless! We came up during a hurricane weekend but owners had everything covered as home has a full home generator. The home is beautiful, private and warmly decorated. One of the best amenities is a closet where you get to select the type of pillows for your bed (jell, down, firm, soft). This was amazing! Property is stunning and truly waterfront at end of expansive lush back yard. Views of the sunrise and sunset from your private beach are spectacular. Kitchen is stocked with all the cookware needed and we cooked at home several nights. Host are delightful, on the property in another structure which allows for privacy. They had a great list of suggestions for food, etc. We will be back! This place is very special.

Wonderful Stay in Hancock, Maine

Our stay in Hancock was superb!!!! Joy was a gracious host and gave us many ideas on explorations around the area. The home was immaculate and even better than the pictures show!! Our location was just a little over half an hour drive to Bar Harbor and next to many restaurants and attractions that we might not have seen if we had stayed down on the island. Acadia national park on the mainland was just a few minutes drive from the house!! We definitely plan to return soon!!! Many Thanks to the hosts at the Hancock House!!

Maine Escape

This is a beautiful home on the bay that has high end finishes and kitchen. So many options to sit outside and enjoy the view and beauty. We loved the hot tub and outdoor fire place. You are about 45 minutes from Acadia National Park where there is so much to see and do. Highly recommend Sail Acadia out of Northeast Harbor, this was a highlight of the week. The kitchen did not come with normal cooking spices or oil, just FYI. We would recommend Joy and her house!
