Description

Set on the shore of Belfast Bay at the eastern end of Belfast's iconic footbridge, this extraordinary waterfront parcel offers the rare combination of immediate water access and an easy, scenic walk into downtown Belfast. From here, you can wander into town for coffee, the Co-op, the harbor walk, live music, or dinner with friends, then head home across the bridge with the bay opening up around you. It's a setting that captures the essence of Belfast, connected, vibrant, community-rooted, and shaped...Set on the shore of Belfast Bay at the eastern end of Belfast's iconic footbridge, this extraordinary waterfront parcel offers the rare combination of immediate water access and an easy, scenic walk into downtown Belfast. From here, you can wander into town for coffee, the Co-op, the harbor walk, live music, or dinner with friends, then head home across the bridge with the bay opening up around you. It's a setting that captures the essence of Belfast, connected, vibrant, community-rooted, and shaped by the water. Just under one acre, the property is full of possibility. A horseshoe driveway and cleared building area are already in place, with plenty of space for thoughtful design that keeps the focus on the water and remarkable setting. Located within the Searsport Avenue waterfront district, the parcel offers flexibility for residential use as well as selected commercial possibilities, subject to approvals. Whether envisioned as a private waterfront residence, a live-work property, or a larger legacy project, the setting supports a wide range of possibilities. The views stretch down the bay and up the Passagassawakeag river with open sky, shifting light, passing boats, and the movement of Belfast's working waterfront. Along the shoreline sits an old boathouse, located within the flood zone. Any renovation, replacement, or removal would require appropriate approvals, offering an intriguing opportunity for the right buyer to explore what may be possible along this stretch of waterfront. The existing foundation and basement remain on site and would likely be incorporated into preparation for new construction, creating the opportunity for a fresh start designed specifically for the property and its views. Architectural plans for an approximately 8,000 square foot home and garage, designed for the site, are available with a full-price offer.
