Gouldsboro unfolds along the granite-framed coast of Hancock County, where classic working harbors meet quiet spruce forests. Life moves to the rhythm of the tides in villages like Prospect Harbor and Corea, with lobster boats, galleries, and family-run wharves setting the scene. Minutes away, Acadia National Park’s Schoodic District offers uncrowded shoreline drives, wave-battered headlands, and bike paths; plan a day through the official Schoodic unit of Acadia National Park’s Schoodic District and explore tide pools and panoramas at your own pace. Outdoor time is easy: the Long Ledges & Taft Point Preserves maintained by Frenchman Bay Conservancy deliver blueberry barrens, coastal spruce, and bold shore, while Schoodic Institute brings research, lectures, and family-friendly programs to the peninsula.
Everyday needs are covered locally, with an easy drive to Ellsworth for major shopping and services and to Bar Harbor for additional dining and seasonal jobs. Nearby Winter Harbor adds a robust arts calendar, including the annual Schoodic Arts Festival. Families appreciate support from RSU 24, which offers strong K–12 academics, co-curriculars, and pathways into Sumner Memorial High School programs.
Homes here range from oceanfront cottages and tidy capes to wooded acreage with room for gardens and workshops.
