About this home

Location! Location! Location! Fantastic water front!! This would make a great place for a fisherman's wharf. This property is located in the highly coveted Fisheries Zone. The shore frontage is the site of a former wharf and commercial shop for boat and automobile repairs. The current buildings, small home and shop, provide potential for an excellent footprint for a new home or business opportunity, or restructuring of buildings right on the waterfront. Private well, protected area for a boat, located on Burnt Coat Harbor. The Tainter family property has both a wooded area as well as an open field area and the shorefront. Lot consists of 1.21 +/- acres of land. Artesian well and septic on site. Tainter Rd is part public and part private. There is a home on the land but needs TLC. 240 feet +/- of water front. Fantastic views. Much privacy as property is located at the end of Tainter Road. Recent survey completed by Ed Pare. Being Sold AS IS! The deck is NOT safe to walk on!
