Description:
Prominent Boston attorney, Charles Sumner Pierce built his Shingle Style cottage with Colonial and Greek Revival influences in 1902 as a year-round farm sited on a rise amid open fields meeting the ocean. Bonnet Farm, centrally located in midcoast Maine on the island of Islesboro, has been a summer vacation destination still owned by his grand and great-grand children.
The estate is situated on 100 protected acres of meadows and woods ensuring privacy just five minutes to the market and post office, with exceptional water views of East Penobscot Bay and steps to a large private beach. There are extensive vegetable and flower gardens overseen by the groundskeeper while the housekeeper keeps everything in top order.
Exposed beamwork, hard pine floors, magnificent stone fireplaces in the dining and living rooms, as well as two formal fireplaces in the bedrooms, seven bedrooms, four baths, eat-in kitchen with two dishwashers and two freezers, full laundry, a generous covered porch and open terrace and a charming outdoor shower complete this meticulously maintained home.
This family home accommodates eight and is available for a month beginning the last week of June through the third week of July and late August through September. $10,000 a week.
