The Mason Shaw House, 1800 - Castine, Maine $795,000
New Price Mason Shaw was a Justice of the Peace in the early 1800s when he purchased this house which was built by Nathaniel Wilson on the west side of upper Main Street. Castine at that time was the shire town for Hancock County. Dr. Joseph L. Stevens purchased it in 1821 and for over 50 years, the Stevens family lived there. One of their summer visitors was Fitz Henry Lane, an artist from Gloucester, MA who painted it in the 1850s, showing the large Federal house with gardens.
When the Normal School started in the 1870s, people began taking in boarders, and the house received a third floor and a mansard roof. The house was extensively restored around 2000 after many years of being unoccupied. All electric, plumbing and heating systems have been replaced and updated. Sinks and faucets original to the house have been restored. Both chimneys were taken down to the base and rebuilt to meet code. A new two-story carriage house, based on old photos, has enough room for cars and boats.

The home has been completely restored and renovated with a whimsical nod to the original design. The dramatic site is one of the most captivating and desired on Mount Desert Island and the Coast of Maine. Substantial, spectacular estates dot the oceanfront of Cooksey Drive.
The well worn pink granite cliffs that the house is perched on command some of the most compelling views of the ocean possible, from working fishermen to competitive and recreational sailors; from Bunker’s Ledge markings to navigational markings the vista is ever changing. Sunrise, far off in the distance, sometimes presents cruise ships waiting for pilot assistance to enter Bar Harbor.
