Harbor Views powered by the Sun

A bright, sunny, net zero space with incredible views The activity in Bass Harbor provides an ever changing show from the comfort of either the indoor living area or our elevated deck. The comings and goings of the fishing fleet, the Swan’s Island Ferry, pleasure boats, and occasional windjammer are right in front of you. You can look down on one of the few remains small boatyards that still make wooden boats. The same yard provides boat tours highlighting the local scenery and lobster fishing demonstrations. There is a waterfront restaurant within a short walk and others within a short drive. Nature provides additional entertainment where eagles and ospreys are constantly circling the harbor and often pass by you at near eye level. You will have a front row seat to some of the most amazing sunsets you will ever see. All of this is available in a building powered by the sun.
