Saltwater Farm

A very rare opportunity to own a stunning Salt Water Farm on Vinalhaven's east side. Owned and lovingly maintained by the same family for over 50 years, this ''homestead'' includes 7 acres of open fields with mowed walking paths, private beach, renovated 1850s Farmhouse, wonderful contemporary guest house, large barn, lobster shack at the water's edge, sauna house with adjacent salt water swimming area, a two car garage, and other small outbuildings. Both residences are year-round and sited to take full advantage of the sweeping views from sunrise to sunset. The farmhouse has original pine floors, a central chimney and the typical wonderful rambling floorplan with many unexpected modern architectural twists. It has 3 bedrooms--a master on the first floor with two bedrooms upstairs--and 3 baths, kitchen, 2 living areas, 2 dining areas, and a walk through library space. The guest house fondly nicknamed the ''Cow Shed'' has a very pleasing aesthetic and includes radiant floor heat, 2 fireplaces, and large sliding doors facing east and west. This property benefits from a Home Association that includes 20 acres of common land and a deep water dock on Seal Bay. The reasonable HOA monthly fee covers year-round maintenance of driveway and other common areas, including the dock. This is a breathtaking property that will only come along just once in a lifetime.
