THE GROUNDS OF FEATHERBED ISLAND HOUSE: The property is saltwaterfront on an estuary where it greets the ocean, a prime spot to observe the splendor of nature. Depending on season, there is a large, rolling lawn, a freshwater pond, flowers, apple trees and blueberries to pick.
There is a grassy, tidal area for kayak launching with a small floating dock to tie up your kayak (not a swimming raft). Just offshore is your own tiny private island, a frequent stop for eagles and seals.
The property really is the ideal habitat for birdwatching or critter watching. The estuary is teeming with fish and other wildlife and attracts dozens of variety of migratory birds. Our property is a meadow surrounded by acres of forest and even contains a fresh water pond. Many animals visit our yard each day for refreshment.
And for those pirate fans...rumor has it that the pirate, Cap't Black Sam Bellamy buried his treasure somewhere in proximity to this very property! (But please, no digging!).
