About This Home
As of April 2021There's something about rowing on the river-- it's hard to get much closer to the water and the forward motion resulting from steady, rhythmic exertion is soothing. It also harkens back to a simpler, less complicated time. Back in the late 1800's a building that was reported to be a Quaker Meeting House was floated down the Bass River. Up near the point where the River meets the Sound, it was set on a 2.5 acre piece of land with 175' of waterfront, where it presides to this day on a priceless location at the river's entrance. This structure, circa 1700 became the core of a family compound, that while added to over the years has remained in the same ownership since about 1895. For the first time since 1895, it is now for sale. 2.5 acres, endless views, salt infused air, four dwelling units in three buildings. You just have to see this. Please verify all information contained herein.
