This spectacular 23-acre peninsula with nearly half a mile of shorefront is one of the last few remaining untouched waterfront properties of its kind on Vinalhaven. The property feels like a nature preserve and has a stunning granite shoreline, protected deep water anchorage, meadows, old stone walls and granite foundations, hand dug wells, a small pond, and a variety of trees including antique apple trees and established white pines. ''The Murch House'' is located on the southern end and is the only stone dwelling on Vinalhaven. The Murch family were fishermen and subsistence farmers who lived simply off the land. The stone house is on the National Register of Historic Places, and was built c. 1850 by William Murch for his son Isaac using granite likely from the property or nearby land preserve, Starboard Rock. Near the stone house is an antique barn and, at a slightly higher elevation, an electrified camp. All three buildings have unobstructed views of Winter Harbor and its nearby islands. A fourth building, 'The Bungalow', is tucked away on the eastern tip. It is full of charm and has two bedrooms. The eastern tip has a high point of granite outcroppings similar to those enjoyed from Starboard Rock. Here one enjoys expansive vistas of Seal Bay, Isle Au Haut Bay Bay and Deer Isle. A circular walking path connects all the buildings and also provides an opportunity to enjoy the diverse landscape, elevations, and beautiful vistas. This is an ideal property for a family compound, preservationist, boater, and anyone interested in historic homes. On the market for the first time in 175 years. (SELLER IS MOTIVATED and seeking a conservation-minded new owner. Light subdivision restrictions will likely transfer)
