6 bedroom House For Sale: 2 & 6 Young..

This vintage island home seems a place that time has forgotten! Seventy-eight acres of forest, meadows, stone walls, apple trees; and one mile of beautiful ocean frontage. This property comprises more than 3/4 of Young Island. Sand beaches, sheltered coves with deep anchorage; permanent moorings and a large wharf which can accommodate several boats; all provide the quintessential maritime setting. The property remains sequestered to this day; yet accessible to mainland Indian Point by a 4 to 5 minutes boat ride where a private wharf with vehicle parking is also available. The main house, as well as the guest house, have been fully restored from the original frames; and remain true to style and character. The main house was built in 1874 and still captures the charm of yesteryear. Fresh and bright throughout, both homes abound with natural sunlight. Each home has three upper bedrooms and baths, with open living areas on the main levels. Also included are a spacious boathouse with loft and a garden shed. Enjoy boating or kayaking around Mahone Bay's islands, inlets and coves. Enjoy the panoramic vistas from your own sun porch, the verandahs, or from the well landscaped garden. Enjoy lilacs, beauty bushes, wagelia and rose bushes in abundance. Extensive field and wooded pathways take you on a different adventure each time. Enjoy a good read, the stars at night and much more. First settled in the mid 1700's by German Hugenots (Jung's), this was the last working saltwater farm in the Mahone Bay islands; still farmed with oxen until 1972. Old fields, apple orchards and stone walls evidence this special history today. You will need for nothing here as you escape the mundane. Power is by undersea cable and then underground to the houses. There is satellite internet and TV, so you can be as connected to 'regular' life as much or as little as you want to be. Come create your own memories; summertime (or year round!) on this rare 78 acre offering at Young Island.
