Overview
Located on the shore of Belfast Bay, at the eastern end of Belfast's footbridge, this waterfront parcel offers water access and a scenic walk into downtown Belfast. The property is just under one acre and offers flexibility for residential use as well as selected commercial possibilities, subject to approvals. A horseshoe driveway and cleared building area are in place, with space for design that keeps the focus on the water. The location is within the Searsport Avenue waterfront district. 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 is an old boathouse, located within the flood zone. Any renovation, replacement, or removal would require appropriate approvals. The existing foundation and basement remain on site and would likely be incorporated into preparation for new construction. Architectural plans for an approximately 8,000 square foot home and garage, designed for the site, are available with a full-price offer. It's a setting that captures the essence of Belfast, connected, vibrant, community-rooted, and shaped by the water. The property is envisioned as a private waterfront residence, a live-work property, or a larger legacy project.
