Stat s: no price chan e. “O ne can do worse than be a sweeper of sea stairs.” It’s hardly work when Margaret Smith takes visitors to see 48 Wild Bay Lane on Deer Isle, built in 2010. [See our front cover.] Giants must have arranged the enor- mous granite stones just-so to seduce visi- tors in a descent to the sea. geni s LoCi Materially and sensually, the entire inspi- ration behind this $4.995M estate seems to grow from Stonescape’s staggering resource of natural Deer Isle granite. “The lower part of the house [designed by Elliott and Elliot] is clad in Deer Island granite,” Smith says. Also providing wow factor is “landscape ar- chitecture by Bruce John Riddell.” In a retreat with storybook beauty, you’ve got to have a library. This one’s de- tailed with outstanding craftsmanship. “The dining room has striking views of islands and endless ocean waves. The outside patio has a custom stone pizza oven, as well as an in-ground stone jacuzzi, all overlooking Pe- nobscot Bay.” The main house has “three bedrooms, three full baths, and two powder rooms. The interior is finished with extensive wain- scoting and custom molding in fir.” Stand- out features: “a custom-built stone fireplace, an elevator, built-ins, and audio and light- ing systems.” The guest house boasts its own fireplace and two more bedrooms. T he ‘someone’ who falls in love with and buys this house “will be stand- ing on the veranda, watching the sunset across the Bay.” ■ or more record istings and home sa es go to op of the op at port andmonth .com.
