About The Community

Community Details

Mount Desert combines the natural splendor of Acadia National Park with a peaceful, deeply rooted community character. Northeast Harbor serves as the town's social hub - a charming sailing village with waterfront dining, galleries, and boutique shops - while Somesville, the oldest English settlement on the island, anchors the western side with its iconic white footbridge and village green. The town's proximity to Acadia means world-class hiking, kayaking, and cycling are available year-round, and the striking geography of Somes Sound adds a rare fjord-like drama to the landscape. Whether you're drawn by outdoor adventure, a quieter pace than Bar Harbor, or the allure of island living near one of America's great national parks, Mount Desert rewards those who seek it out.
