We are pleased to be included in the 2023 RealTrends 500 national brokerage rankings. Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty has once again been named to this prestigious list of top-ranked national agencies. According to the Real Trends Survey, we also rank in the top 30 affiliates globally for Sotheby’s International Realty.

RealTrends, the residential real estate brokerage industry’s leading consulting and research firm, has released its annual Top 500 report, the industry’s definitive ranking of brokerages, franchisors, and holding companies.

“There has been significant consolidation among real estate companies over the past several years, and we continue to stick to our organic growth strategy,” says Chris Lynch, President of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty. “Our commitment to our clients and our agents has been instrumental to our growth and overall success in these turbulent market conditions. We have clearly benefited from having a very talented agent base and an extraordinary support team to keep things moving smoothly.”

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty is one of only three Maine-based real estate companies to appear in the Top 500.

“Maine is a small state with a small real estate market, which makes it difficult to rank on a national scale. We are so pleased to be recognized for our hard work,” adds Lynch. “We are very fortunate to have some of the most experienced and dedicated agents in the state exclusively focusing on helping our clients achieve their real estate goals.”

We’re showcasing a rare opportunity to own significant acreage on Mount Desert Island near Acadia National Park . “It is the largest privately-owned undeveloped parcel in Bar Harbor,” says Laura Farr, the Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty agent representing the sellers. “It is attractive to many types of buyers, from developers looking for a prime location for a hospitality venture to someone interested in conservation.”

The 207-acre parcel is in an ideal mid-island location on Crooked Road in Bar Harbor, less than 2 miles from the Peggy Rockefeller Farms and 5 miles from the Hulls Cove Visitor Center, the main entrance to Acadia National Park and the start of the famed Park Loop Road. Portions of the parcel border Acadia National Park itself, and other nearby destinations include the Town Hill Market, Atlantic Brewing Company , and Terramor Outdoor Resort . Downtown Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor are only a 10 to 15-minute drive away.

The preliminary survey has been completed, and the back acreage offers 250 feet of elevation with potential distant water views of Frenchman Bay.

“The deed references back to 1895,” says Farr of the historic property. “This land has been in the same family for over 50 years, which is part of the reason why it is still undeveloped.”

Lot 001 on Crooked Road in Bar Harbor, Maine, is offered at $4,900,000.
