S et back from the road in a private, quiet setting with room for walking and a place to launch small boats”–you almost wouldn’t believe current owner Tora Johnson when she tells you the address of this chalet is 2189 U.S. Route 1, Sullivan. A professor of ge- ography and marine studies at University of Maine at Machias, Johnson and her husband, Chris, a traditional wooden boat builder and commercial fisherman, lived on a lobster boat be- fore purchasing these 2.9 acres off the Mount Desert Narrows, designing their “dream home” in 2004. The contemporary two- bedroom, one-bathroom structure has an open-concept floor plan showcasing both hardwood floors and high ceilings with exposed beams. Equipped with well-placed windows to assure solar gain in the winter, along with “timber frame construction, nearly all of it from Maine-harvested lumber,” this home boasts green credentials. Listed for $225,000, this getaway features a yard ringed by trees and over 390-feet of tid- al frontage on Long Cove, a small inlet of saltwater, “home to the rocky remnants of a mill dam.” As you look out across the cove through the large picture windows, keep an eye out for the neighborhood horde of “eagles, ospreys, and other seabirds.” Taxes are $4,076. BuCkminsteR palaCe W aterfront property in Booth- bay is intriguing enough, nev- er mind the fact that this two- bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow opens out into a geodesic dome, popularized by Maine’s own Buckminster Fuller. Laura Blake at Newcastle Realty says the dome section arrived in 1970 “as a kit […] that when placed together looked like a space- ship.” In 2004, this spaceship/bungalow was updated, with the current owners ren- ovating to create “a new kitchen, bedroom, and entry room, enlarging the deck to en- joy the 205-foot waterfront [...] while still keeping the cathedral ceilings and charm of the dome.” Situated at 68 Tamarack Trail, the property includes 1.9 acres over- looking the St. George River as it flows into Muscongus Bay, extended by access to an “association dock and float, and land front- age on Knickerbocker Road for a potential building.” With private waterfront property and a bit of Boothbay radical chic for only $189,000, one thing is clear: there’s no place like dome. Taxes are $1,769. Captain of the house F or the first time since its construc- tion over 150 years ago, the Captain Bennis House at 1960 Route 1 in Sullivan is on the market. Listed at $209,900, the eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom dwell- ing was built in 1875 for Captain Spiro Vus- cassovich Bennis and his new bride, Eliza- beth Hannah Simpson. Bennis, originally from Austria, fought in the Union Navy dur- ing the Civil War, most notably on the USS Gem of the Sea and on the USS Connecticut under Admiral Farragut.
