Located at the end of a quiet town lane off Cider Hill Road, this 15.7-acre property offers picturesque countryside and 1000 FT of water frontage along a primary estuary of the York River. A rare opportunity for those seeking a more intentional homestead lifestyle, family compound, or future development potential, the property is comprised of managed open fields, woodlands, walking trails, and versatile outbuildings. A 1714 antique cape with enduring charm affords a clear opportunity for preservation, stewardship & restoration. A bespoke eat-in country kitchen complete with slate sink, original brick cooking hearth with bread oven, wide plank wood floors and a walk-in pantry with farmhouse sink merges history with modern appliances.The home currently lives comfortably as a single level with 2 first floor bedrooms, 2 full baths, sunlit living room and year round sunroom. An additional 629 SF on the 2nd level is a canvas for extra living space. Several outbuildings enhance the property, most notably a recently constructed 28x48, two-story, 4-bay post & beam barn for large equipment storage, car collections or possible conversion to living quarters. Additional structures, including a heated workshop, further expand the property's versatility for hobbying, storage, creative pursuits, or renovation ambitions. A private seasonal aluminum dock system complete with pier, ramp, and float, provides tidal access for boating, kayaking, and paddle boarding to York Harbor and the open ocean beyond. Properties of this scale, setting, and waterfront presence are increasingly rare, particularly when paired with the history and character of an early New England homestead. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, working homestead, or legacy estate, this exceptional offering presents a remarkable opportunity to restore, cultivate, and enjoy a truly special piece of York's coastal landscape. Minutes to all town amenities beaches, shops, restaurants, golf and all points North and South.
