This property is located in the highly coveted Fisheries Zone. The shore frontage is the site of a former wharf and commercial shop for boat and automobile repairs.

Private well, protected area for a boat, located on Burnt Coat Harbor. The Tainter family property has both a wooded area as well as an open field area and the shorefront. Lot consists of 1.21 +/- acres of land. Artesian well and septic on site. Tainter Rd is part public and part private. There is a home on the land but needs TLC. 240 feet +/- of water front.
