.jpg');void(null))
This magnificent two-parcel, 53-acre waterfront property is known as “Free School House” Originally built around 1650, it was exceptional in its simplicity, constructed of brick that is 4 courses thick. These time-wizened brick walls are the living and dining room walls in the main home today.
The property consists of two parcels; one includes the main home and pier on 50.59 acres, primarily idyllic farmland fringed with 1884’ of water frontage along Free School Creek. The second parcel; 2.62 acres and 1197’ of water frontage, has a 1934 cottage on a peninsula with long views into the Severn River. The cottage has a screened porch, pier and boathouse and riprapped shoreline.
A sprawling yard between the main house and the cottage, surrounded by water, gives this property a sumptuous feel of privacy, while just minutes from Gloucester amenities.
Property may be subdivided.
