About this home

Offered is a West Sound 5.45 acre old island waterfront homestead with accessible private cove, and sandy beach, just off Skull Island State Park. The sunny property, an orchard farm in years gone by, is divided by the county road. On the north side of the road is a single floor, charming 1910 two bed two bath home that has been remodeled and updated and currently used as a summer retreat. A spectacular, level and spacious south facing waterfront building site overlooking Massacre Bay is on the south side. The cove/beach has shellfish, wildlife and privacy just a few steps down a gentle path from the waterfront building site*. The property has a very good well, power, a three bedroom septic system recently inspected, and plenty of usable land for outbuildings. Bearing pear, plum and apple trees, some 100+ years old, and a bounty of summer blackberries, evoke the history of this property plus a seasonal creek returns rain to the sea. The neighboring waterfront property is listed (NWMLS #2460007, Vacant Land, old WF cabin on .53 acres). Buy both and create opportunities for boundary line modifications and shared utilities. *Permits to build on the waterfront side of the county road may require modifications to the existing home.
