What's around 71 Parker Farm Rd

About this property

A Prism in the Wood An award winning architecturally designed year-round home, sits on on a private dead end road being artistically tucked in on 6+/- acres in the woods of Mt. Desert, through which passes the constantly changing light of the Maine seasons. A work of art this home includes an elevator and abuts conservation land for added privacy. The house is a frame of steel tubes completely enclosed in glass with the living spaces within floating like platforms through the grid. A light steel stair reaches up to the second floor and a further spiral stair connects to the owner's private quarters on the uppermost level. The levels are also connected by a free-standing glass elevator, red like the traditional London phone booths. The ceilings are of unfinished fir planks and the floors of maple. All materials and finishes are hypoallergenic or chemically neutral. The structure is anchored at one end by the concrete mass of the fireplace that serves on the outside as a giant scupper carrying off the rainwater from the long sloping roof. Standing on light steel extensions of the interior frame the house floats above the forest floor, visually/physically connected at the entrance by massive slabs of granite. The property is a few (ca. 500) meters away from the tip of Somes Sound on Mount Desert island. All the facilities of Acadia National Park are a few minutes away, and it is literally possible to enter the park by foot or kayak from the Somes Sound. The property has been published several times in architecture magazines, books and on the NYT. The prior owner used the house as year round residence. Land 6.5 acres, private and secluded. Inner space. Inner space 2,180 sq ft. Two bedrooms, two and half bathrooms, office/den, vast pantry, attached garage, basement with washing and drier machines. Main living space with kitchen, living area with gas fireplace, dining area. Separate porch and entry foyer. Floorplans included in photos.
