Description
Introducing Joyride, a bespoke coastal home that brings newly constructed living to a setting defined by generational properties, where such opportunities are seldom available. Designed not just to be lived in, but to be felt, this to-be-built residence offers a rare opportunity to experience a thoughtfully imagined coastal retreat in one of Maine's most treasured seaside enclaves. Just a stone's throw away is the heart of Northeast Harbor, where boutiques, marinas, and timeless coastal charm await. Envisioned as an elegant yet contemporary home, Joyride will span approximately 3,200± square feet and feature four serene bedroom suites, each designed as a private sanctuary with seamless access to the outdoors. Mornings begin with salt air and soft light spilling onto patios, while evenings are centered around shared moments, both indoors and out. At its core, the home is designed for connection--a place where generations gather and memories unfold naturally. Just beyond the main residence, a charming detached guest cottage offers additional flexibility, complete with a bathroom and kitchenette--ideal for guests, extended family, or a private creative retreat. Joyride is thoughtfully brought to life by the acclaimed design-build team of Stephanie Rae Interiors and Bloom Building & Construction, whose work has been featured in Architectural Digest and, most recently, on the cover of Boston Home Magazine. This is a place where Maine becomes more than a destination, it becomes part of your story.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat teachers, aside from a few, those few are unbelievably biased towards girls. Possibly as a result of their children in their grade. Overall, when a boy misbehaves, he is more harshly punished than a girl who did the same thing.Student Review1y ago - Mt Desert Island High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA truly excellent public high school; its quality would definitely match some private high schools. The arts programs are fantastic, the teachers are generally highly-regarded, and it manages to get students into some pretty great colleges. I'd say the only significant drawback would be the guidance department-if you or your child wishes to go a school other than the University of Maine, be prepared to do a lot of the work yourself. Other than, though, I give it high marks.Student Review13y ago
