Spacious Private Estate: Hot Tub, Pets & Fire Pit

Southwest Harbor, Maine, United States

Seven Peaks Ridge, an Acadia’s Edge property, invites you to the quiet side of MDI. This stately colonial estate on Freeman Ridge offers a grand, multi-level retreat for families who value space and privacy. Skip the crowds and settle into a forest-nestled sanctuary featuring The Forest Well—our private wooded hot tub designed for post-hike resets and unmatched stargazing. With a garage, AC, and the park’s best trailheads just minutes away, this is your authentic Maine home base.brbrSeven Peaks Ridge takes its name from the seven summits of western Mount Desert Island—Beech, Acadia, St. Sauveur, Valley Peak, Flying Mountain, Bernard, and Mansell. brbrPerched on Freeman Ridge, this stately colonial was designed for groups who value space, privacy, and the luxury of the quiet side.brThe clever layout keeps the gathering spaces on the main level while the sleeping quarters remain a quiet sanctuary upstairs, ensuring the whole party can relax without ever feeling on top of each other. This is more than just a place to sleep; it is a welcoming retreat that invites you to slow down, stay a while, and feel right at home. From the grand formal foyer to the cozy den with its freshened gas fireplace, the home offers a variety of inviting spaces to spread out, recharge, and truly settle in after a day exploring the island.brbrLIVING AND ENTERTAININGbrWith a main living room, a cozy Driftwood Den featuring a gas fireplace, and a sunlit sitting room, there is always a quiet corner to land. The layout works especially well for families; early risers can take over the first floor while everyone else sleeps soundly above.brUpstairs, the primary suite offers an additional layer of privacy with its own dedicated Parent’s Retreat—a quiet lounge perfect for a morning coffee or a late-night book. To keep everyone entertained, the living room and every bedroom are equipped with Roku Smart TVs. With Guest Mode enabled, you can easily sign into your own streaming accounts and enjoy a movie night after a long day on the trails.brbrKITCHEN AND DINING brThe kitchen is fully equipped and stocked for everything from quick trail snacks to a multi-course feast. Centered around a KitchenAid gas range and oven, the space is a chef’s delight, complete with a dishwasher to make cleanup a breeze. Pull up a stool at the sun-drenched breakfast nook—which seats four and offers a natural flow between the kitchen and living areas—or gather in the formal dining room.brThe dining room is a centerpiece of the home’s traditional charm, featuring a grand antique wooden table with seating for eight and classic maritime decor. Whether you’re sharing a locally caught lobster dinner or planning the next day’s hike over coffee, the layout ensures group meals are both easy and memorable.brbrBEDROOMS AND BATHROOMSbrAll three bedrooms are located on the upper level, keeping the sleeping quarters a quiet sanctuary away from the main living areas. The Primary Suite is a true wing of the home, featuring a King bed and its own private sitting room—the Parent’s Retreat. This suite is uniquely designed for group convenience with a separate sink room located just outside the primary bath, allowing two people to get ready at once without compromise.brbrThe two additional guest rooms are thoughtfully themed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The Butterfly Room features a comfortable Queen bed and classic decor, while the Twin Room has been freshly repainted in Navajo White and styled with a whimsical Under the Sea theme—complete with mermaids and shells to delight younger explorers.brThe home offers two full bathrooms upstairs and a convenient half bath on the main floor. We provide fresh linens, fluffy towels, and quality essentials throughout to ensure your group of six feels right at home from the moment you arrive.brbrLAUNDRYbr A full-sized washer and dryer are located in the spacious lower level—ideal for refreshing hiking gear or beach towels mid-stay. For your safety and convenience, we have equipped the staircase with sturdy handrails on both sides to ensure easy access to this space.brbrWORKSPACE & CONNECTIVITYbrWe understand that even on the Quiet Side, duty sometimes calls. Seven Peaks Ridge offers multiple high-speed WiFi-enabled zones to suit your needs:brbrThe Parent’s Retreat: The private lounge off the primary suite serves as an ideal laptop-friendly sanctuary for remote work with total privacy.brbrThe Driftwood Den: A cozy, separate room featuring an oversized, comfortable chair—the perfect spot to settle in with a laptop or take a quiet video call by the gas fireplace.brbrThe Creative Nook: A dedicated desk in the twin bedroom provides a quiet spot for children to craft or for teens to catch up on studies.brbrWith upgraded high-speed internet throughout the estate, you can stay as connected as you need to be before unplugging for the day’s adventures.brbrGARAGE & GEAR STORAGEbrA rare find for the island, the estate includes a clean, oversized two-car garage. This space is more than just parking—it’s your dedicated hub for Maine adventures.brbrVehicle Comfort: Keep your vehicles cool and out of the summer sun.brbrSecure Storage: A perfect, dry space to store your hiking boots, bicycles, or kayaking gear after a day in the Park.brbrFor Your Four-Legged Explorers: To make traveling with your pets easier, the garage is stocked with a large dog crate, a pet carrier, bowls, and toys.brbrThe garage connects to a large paved driveway with ample room for up to four additional vehicles or a boat/RV trailer, ensuring that parking is never a concern during your stay.brbrOUTDOOR SPACES & GROUNDSbrThe grounds of Seven Peaks Ridge are what truly separate this estate from the rest. Sprawling and private, the exterior offers multiple distinct zones designed to highlight the beauty and seclusion of the Quiet Side.brbrThe Forest Well: Tucked away behind the estate for total seclusion, The Forest Well is our private hot tub sanctuary. It is designed for all-day recovery—whether it’s a mid-afternoon soak to reset your legs after a long day of trekking or a midnight retreat under the island’s famous dark skies. We have intentionally curated the lighting to be switchable, allowing you to disappear into the darkness and view the stars in total silence.brbrThe Grand Deck: Located just off the kitchen, the massive, newly refreshed deck features outdoor dining and a grill, making it the perfect spot for an evening lobster bake while overlooking the lush tree line.brbrThe Hilltop Fire Pit: Follow the path to a newly set up fire pit area perched on a small rise just off the back of the deck. This commanding vantage point offers a view over the entire property and is the ultimate spot for classic Maine nights under the stars.brbrThe Great LawnbrThe estate features an expansive, lush yard—a true rarity on the island—with plenty of room for kids and pets to stretch their legs. This sprawling green space is a favorite sanctuary for local wildlife; it is common to see a herd of seven or more white-tailed deer grazing across the lawn in the quiet of the morning.brbrThe scale of the grounds is perfect for a leisurely stroll or practicing your short game before heading down the hill for a round at the historic Causeway Club.brbr(Note: To ensure the safety of our frequent wildlife visitors and your furry friends, we ask that pets remain on a leash or a run while enjoying the grounds.)
