A Johnson Cove saltwater farm on the shores of Chebeague Island is being offered for the first time in generations. The original section of the Bonnie View farmhouse was built in 1820, and comprises 6.59 acres with panoramic views of Casco Bay's outer islands. This much loved cape style house with 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms could be used as a duplex or as a single family home. The acreage is one of the largest, most open waterfront parcels that exists on the island today, with 865' of shoreline, including a tidal estuary. Adjacent is a large ''bungalow'' outbuilding that formally served as an orphanage in the early 1900's, and was later converted to a boat building shop. When built, the structure was 4 stories tall, but now is 2, and in recent years has been used for storage. This idyllic waterfront parcel offers limitless opportunities and has potential for subdivision. The welcoming Chebeague Island community is served by 2 ferry services, and is the youngest town in Maine. There is a year-round market, library, and recreation center complex. Seasonal activities include tennis and golf, a sailing school, an Inn with fine dining, and gift and bakery shops. The Chebeague Island School was newly built in 2020, and serves grades Pre K-5. Older students attend Yarmouth public schools on the mainland. Don't miss this unique opportunity. This is an estate sale and the property is being offered in 'as is' condition.
