At the top of the hill, this house comes into view

Sort of unsettling, majestic and unforgettable too...

Do you know where this house is in the Midcoast and bonus question: does anyone remember its original owners?

Answer: That is the Oakes mansion on Appleton Ridge. At one time it was the home of an opera singer. Recently, it was/is the home of Donald Burke.
