This is one of the finer properties in Ritcey Cove off the LaHave River in Riverport. Built during the 1850s, it has been lovingly cared for by all the people who have owned it over the years. One of the most wonderful things about this property is that it has completely southern exposure, which means there is sun from early morning until late in the day - brightness galore. The views from the house are of the Cove directly across the road with approximately 300 feet of waterfront. Over 31 acres of land here with so many possibilities of things to do. Privacy, coziness, and charm and most of the original features of the house have been rejuvenated and maintained. The modernized kitchen is spacious and bright with ample cupboards, as well as a breakfast nook overlooking the water. There is a dining room just off the kitchen, as well as a living room beside it - all with views of the water. There is also a full bath on the first floor. A cozy enclosed porch facing the water runs along
the front of the house and can be used all year long. Spacious bedrooms with large, bright bathroom with great natural views are on the second floor along with the classic back staircase used by staff in days gone by, but now an added safety feature to the house. There is a third-floor attic that has been used as an art studio, but it would be a good space for extra company visits, bedrooms, and/or even an office. There is an excellent constructed woodshed close to the back of the house, which could easily be turned into a bunkie for guests and a large old barn that is nearly 1000 sq. ft. incorporating storage and a workshop with a separate electrical entrance and an excellent wood stove to keep you warm in winter. A dock and large wharf directly across the road provide easy access to the river. This magnificent property would make a superb year-round residence and because of the layout of the land and the water views it could also be a terrific place for camping or family cabins.
