A unique real estate opportunity in New Dominion: a remarkable 1886 family home situated on the bank of the West River. This property has been cherished by the same family since its construction and is now on the market for the first time. Steeped in local history, the estate offers a tranquil and private setting with stunning water views and abundant wildlife, free from close neighbors. A spacious garage/barn, built in 1978 on a concrete slab, presents a fantastic potential for conversion into a two-bedroom home -providing a practical living space while the original century home is lovingly restored. Please note that this structure does not have plumbing and electricity, although it sustained some tree damage from Hurricane Fiona in 2022, it is in excellent shape. Additionally, the section of Westville Rd. serving the property is not maintained during winter months, offering three-season access. While the property boasts river frontage, the direct waterfront access currently requires clearing due to overgrowth. The Seller is generously donating additional acreage to the Island Nature Trust. The original home requires comprehensive renovations, including the roof, windows, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as addressing existing moisture issues and interior work. This offering presents an exciting opportunity for those with a passion for historical restoration and the vision to revive a truly special estate. A survey is available for review to detail the property boundaries. A walking path from the grounds to the beach is currently blocked by felled trees. Water access for boats is located at the end of the road below the home. The grounds also feature some fruit trees and the remnants of once beautiful gardens. This project requires a dedicated commitment of time and resources to bring this estate home back to its former glory. Measurements of original home must be verified by Purchaser. Oversized garage is 24 ft. x 24 ft. 1 1/2 story with lots of storage. (id:2471)
