Located just 9/10th of a mile from the white sands of Moonstone Beach and from the seasonal playhouse Theatre by the Sea, this 2.15 acre property awaits your new home. The existing home, built in 1726, has been condemned. In addition, there is a one-bedroom rental cottage (512 sq. ft. ), which is currently a legal, non-conforming structure. Outbuildings include a 4 bay garage and other small structures, all in fair condition and requiring extensive renovation, replacement, or removal. In close proximity to Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge, Cards Pond, and significant perpetual conservation land and farm, forest, and open space acreage protected for agriculture, this property offers a unique opportunity to create a home for either summer or year-round use in an area where natural beauty abounds. PLEASE NOTE: This is an estate sale with no disclosures. Sale subject to approval of Probate Court. Please do not walk on the property unless by appointment and accompanied by the listing agent.

Rural Residential Low Density District
This district allows a residential density up to 0.55 dwellings per acre. The minimum lot size for single-household detached dwellings is 80,000 sq ft. These are primarily rural areas which are not served by public facilities, and in which intensive development should not occur. They are characterized by low-density residential development, large estates, agriculture and certain low intensity nonresidential activities incidental to a rural environment. Public water service may be provided, but public sewers are discouraged in favor of waste water management districts and water conservation practices. This district may also include open space, conservation lands and land unsuitable for development. Portions of this district are within the High Flood Danger HFD Overlay District.
