First time offered for sale in nearly 60 years! A rare opportunity to acquire 12.90 acres in a convenient central island location, cshort walk to schools and community bus routes. Approximately 3 acres of usable land surround an older 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage in need of TLC. The property features an established orchard with apple, plum, pear, apricot and cherry trees, plus kiwi vines, a year-round pond, pottery studio, and various sheds and outbuildings. Improvements include an upgraded water system in 2025 and solar power system in 2026. Beyond the lower acreage, the land rises to higher elevations, with an upper-level area that offers potential for a future homesite. A unique opportunity for buyers seeking acreage, established plantings and the freedom to create their own island retreat. The value is in the land and its possibilities.
