MOSS LEDGE | Deer Isle, Maine Architecturally refined and beautifully built, Moss Ledge offers 315'± of shoreline on Penobscot Bay, 3.5± private acres, and wide western views toward the Camden Hills. Designed by Maine-based architects and constructed in 2002 by Patrick Trowbridge—a custom furniture maker known for his precision and craftsmanship—the home reflects a thoughtful approach to coastal living. The land was once part of the estate of Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of Central Park. A descendant later gifted this portion to her physician, who eventually sold it—opening the door for a new chapter on this storied stretch of the island. Clad in hand-dipped cedar shingles with standing seam metal roofs, both the main cottage and guest barn are designed for longevity and low maintenance. Brazilian walnut (Ipe) decking adds further durability and richness. A gravel drive leads through quiet woods into a sunlit meadow edged by spruce, with granite-lined walking paths and glimpses of the bay beyond. Inside the three-level cottage, exposed beams, a central stone fireplace, and tall windows create an inviting, light-filled living space. The kitchen features custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and hand-selected, hand-stained hardwood floors. A built-in window seat near the dining area offers a quiet place to pause, and the main-level bath includes a soaking tub with classic tilework. Upstairs, the primary suite spans the top floor, complete with a meditation room, double-sink vanity, built-ins, and a private balcony for morning light or evening skies. Outdoor living areas include a covered porch and a wide, water-facing deck. The guest barn offers additional space with a half bath below and sleeping quarters above—crafted with the same attention to detail as the main house. Lovingly maintained and used as a seasonal rental, Moss Ledge offers the flexibility to continue sharing it—or to enjoy it as your own private coastal retreat.
