Nearly 5 acres of wooded land unfold gently toward almost 142 feet of tidal frontage on Joy Cove, where the shoreline shifts with the rhythm of the day and the water remains calm, protected, and inviting. A natural mix of hardwood and softwood creates depth, privacy, and a sense of place that's distinctly Maine. Whether you're walking the land, listening to the breeze through the trees, or launching a kayak from your own shoreline, the experience is grounded and unhurried. Set along a paved, public road with 136.5 feet of frontage, this parcel offers flexibility. Build a year-round home tucked into the woods, design a seasonal retreat, or simply hold it. Power is available at the road, and with no other utilities in place, the property remains a true blank canvas--ready for thoughtful vision and intentional use. Joy Cove offers a peaceful connection to the ocean--where tidal waters invite kayaking, paddleboarding, and shoreline exploration, and the surrounding habitat supports seabirds, wading wildlife, and the occasional seal. The cove opens into Joy Bay and onward to Gouldsboro Bay, creating a sense of connection while maintaining a quieter, more sheltered coastal setting. Nearby conservation lands and preserved shoreline add to the experience, with trails and protected spaces that help maintain the natural character of the area. From here, you're just a short drive to the Schoodic Peninsula--part of Acadia National Park and known for its dramatic granite coastline, crashing surf, and far fewer crowds than Mount Desert Island. Bar Harbor is within reach for a day trip, offering dining, galleries, and access to the park's iconic carriage roads and mountain trails. Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport is approximately 35-40 minutes away, adding convenience for travel, while Ellsworth remains close by for everyday essentials, shopping, and services. Build, explore, and stay connected to the Maine coast--on your own terms. Ready to see it? Let's Go!
