Enjoy this unique estate situated on the coast of one of Maine's most beautiful islands, North Haven. The former summer home of longtime IBM chairman and onetime U.S. ambassador to Russia, Thomas J Watson Jr, was designed to cater to a family that enjoyed entertaining as much as adventuring. With one of the only private airports in coastal Maine combined with access to a deep water private harbor, this property offers client’s unparalleled access by both air and sea. The turn of the century farm house, decorated by the legendary Sister Parish, is rich in history and charm and offers 7 bedrooms and 6 baths. A cavernous converted barn serves as an additional entertaining space, and an attached apartment as a separate guest wing. If you look closely, you will find photos of the many dignitaries and famous guests the Watson family hosted over the years.Surrounding the house is over 100 acres of picturesque fields, quiet beaches, and miles of beautiful walking paths. Other amenities include access to a private beach, shared access to tennis court and full workout gym, internet, satellite TV, and mooring for a boat.North Haven is a small, quaint island community that also boasts one of Maine's best restaurants and Inns, Nebo Lodge. This award winning and much talked about restaurant sources much of their food from Turner Farm, the Island's state of the art organic farm, where clients can also visit during summer hours to buy fresh, local produce, cheeses, and meats.Link to aerial video: https://player.vimeo.com/video/121745331
