Nestled on 1.13 serene acres in the heart of Port Republic, this beautifully preserved 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom, 1504 sq ft home is rich in heritage and charm. Known as the Van Fleets (Van Sant) Homestead, this 1800s residence sits just above the once-vibrant Van Sant Shipyard along Nacote Creek; where catboats, sloops, and schooners were launched in the golden age of maritime craftsmanship. Steeped in local lore, this homestead was once home to seven brothers who learned the trade of shipbuilding before six of them became Methodist ministers. From tales of pirate sightings to ferries bound for Long Beach Island, the history here runs as deep as the creek it overlooks. This historic home is tucked away on a quiet lane across from St. Paul’s Church, offering a tranquil and timeless setting. Whether you're a lover of history, nature, or simply seeking a unique and storied place to call home, this one-of-a-kind property is ready for its next chapter. Property being sold strictly as-is. Seller will make no repairs or renovations. Buyer is responsible for conducting their own due diligence regarding condition, systems, and any potential updates or requirements.
