The Froggery, an Asian-inspired estate with a Japanese garden and tea house on more than 15 acres on the island of Islesboro, off Lincolnville, was sold because the owner relocated to Hong Kong.
Glass walls in the house were made by Charles Barone and provide views of original sculptures and oil paintings displayed throughout.
The home's large wrap-around porch and cantilevered, upper deck were designed to resemble a ship's deck.
The garden has koi ponds, reflection pools and Zen gardens with gravel patterns.
A spiral staircase features a handrail that was built by a yacht company.
The master bathroom boasts an oversized shower with a classic Japanese woodblock print reinterpreted using mosaic tiles.
