This very valuable hilltop home overlooks scenic and historic Friar’s Bay Beach and has a large field between the water and house. The view is spectacular and looks west to Eastport, Maine. The property is located about 2.5 miles from the bridge connecting Campobello to Lubec, Maine.
Campobello Island is a recreational paradise. Recreational activities abound in the Campobello Roosevelt International Park and Herring Cove Provincial Park and include fishing, whale watching, boating, hiking, bicycling, birdwatching, beachcombing, kayaking and landscape painting.
The property has many old apple trees, horsechestnuts, maples, quaking aspen and fir as well as lilacs and other established plantings. A trail winds down to the beach from the house through the field thick with raspberries, blackberries and wild roses.
