We are pleased to introduce 93 Cooksey Drive, an extraordinary oceanfront estate located in the picturesque village of Seal Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Represented by Bill Gaynor, this remarkable property is currently offered at $14,500,000, making it one of the most significant luxury offerings in Maine’s history.
Privately set along 780 feet of dramatic Atlantic frontage, the estate is perched high above the rugged pink granite bluff known as Ingraham Point, offering sweeping panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding shoreline. Accessed by a secluded drive winding through moss-covered woodland and natural granite outcroppings, the estate immediately creates a sense of privacy, scale, and arrival.
Designed in the highest order of classic shingle-style architecture, the residence blends timeless craftsmanship with extraordinary coastal presence. The home welcomes guests through a soaring three-story fir-paneled hall, anchored by a grand white oak staircase that establishes the warmth and scale found throughout. A gracious living room with fireplace opens through French doors to an expansive covered porch overlooking the Atlantic, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The home offers multiple ocean-view bedrooms designed for both family living and entertaining on a grand scale. The owner’s suite features cathedral ceilings and a private waterside balcony, while the dining room, with its boxed-beamed ceiling and fireplace, creates an elegant setting for gatherings and celebrations. A charming country kitchen with a gas-fired range opens to a dramatic breakfast room filled with natural light and water views, as well as an inviting al fresco dining and gathering space.
“Upon arrival, one senses the presence of the ocean, and the moment strikes when entering the residence, where the glorious Atlantic is stretched out before you,” says Bill Gaynor.
Additional spaces include a refined library with custom built-ins, a den finished in mahogany and beadboard reminiscent of a captain’s quarters, an arts and crafts room, a lower-level gym, and an extensive wine cellar.
Located just moments from Acadia National Park, residents enjoy immediate access to Sand Beach, scenic coastal hikes, dining at Jordan Pond House, and sunset views from Cadillac Mountain. The estate offers a rare balance of privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to one of the country’s most iconic national parks.
The current owners named the estate Wanakiwin, meaning harmony, peace, and tranquility, a fitting reflection of both the property and its extraordinary setting.
This is more than just a home, it is a legacy estate on the coast of Maine.
