180 acres are for sale in Bar Harbor for $2.5M

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • May 4, 2026

Almost 180-acres is for sale with five existing housing lots and potential for more. The property off the Crooked Road is owned by Christopher Bettencourt and Denise Carey Bettencourt. It was called the Brigadoon Subdivision when the town approved the five housing lots in 2024. The property is one of the largest parcels available in Bar Harbor. With portions of the site within 5-kilometers of the habitat of an endangered species of bat, the Bettencourts rethought the project to avoid wetland alterations. Because of the bats and other considerations, the original subdivision plan was scaled back in 2024. According to the April 23 listing by Lamacchia Realty, Inc., “Its proximity to conserved lands further enhances a sense of seclusion amidst the island’s natural beauty.”
