Crossing the bridge onto Campobello Island, you have left the mainland behind, yet Maine sits 15 minutes away. The island, once the summer retreat of Franklin D. Roosevelt, shelters this 137-acre coastal sanctuary along the Bay of Fundy. An 11.5-acre cliffside homesite anchors the estate, where whales glide past, eagles soar overhead and wild berries ripen along the drive. The air runs clean and cool off the water. A companion 125-acre forested lot extends along Fundy Drive, controlling the approach, preserving its environmental integrity. Conceived as a legacy estate, the 8,700 sq ft residence beyond the gate opens onto the bay, grounded in quarried Maine granite hand-laid base and pillars below wood siding. The front door opens to the great room vaulted wood ceilings, statement lighting above, and the Bay of Fundy beyond the windows. Throughout, marble and wide-plank maple floors meet expanses of glass. The design follows the way its owners live rooms made for hosting a gathering, or just two. The 1,000 sq ft kitchen, centered on a 13-ft marble island, carries dual capacity preparation for a full table, essentials in reserve. Five en-suite bedrooms occupy both levels for privacy and separation. A generous gym with sauna offers the versatility of a studio. A sophisticated lounge gathers the home's social life around a copper-topped wet bar and a wood-burning fireplace, made for games, conversation and quiet evenings. Three decks weave outdoor living through every level, open to the principal rooms and both primary suites. From there, the bay breaks against the rock jetty in constant sight and sound. A boardwalk descends to 703 ft of private shoreline, where fresh seaweed waits at low tide. Across the island: hiking, sailing, kayaking, sport fishing, seaside golf life shaped by tide and season. The rarest of estates where the land protects you as much as the home itself. (id:13843)
