About this home
In recent history known as TLC Farm, this circa 1870 Greek Revival farmhouse, with some original details remaining, is in need of complete renovation. Meadows and woods, farm pond and easy access to the elevated house sites near the Ryder's Cove water frontage are accessed by existing Lois Lane. Lois Lane, the original woods road, continues through the woods of spruce and pine to the site of Mill Dam located on Mill Cove, which was used as saw and grist mill in the past, however no building remains. This one of a kind property is suitable for a sub-division with several potential house sites taking advantage of water views and access to both coves as well as numerous suitable uses for a year round use such as family compound, farming, horse farm etc. , Or just simply enjoying island living away from it all, but only 20 minutes ferry ride to mainland. Come and see this property with a great potential.
