About this propertyMLS® 1298194
9 Main Road, Sandy Cove, Fogo Island Nestled in the breathtaking community of Sandy Cove, just a short walk from the historic town of Tilting on Fogo Island, this remarkable 1.8 acre parcel sits right on the beach with some of the most brilliant ocean views you will find anywhere in Newfoundland. Whether you are watching icebergs drift past in the spring or listening to the Atlantic roll in on a calm summer evening, this land delivers a front row seat to nature at its most spectacular. With a sandy beach at your doorstep and hiking and walking trails winding through the surrounding landscape, outdoor living here is not an amenity, it is a way of life. The location places you within easy walking distance of Tilting, one of Canada's designated National Historic Districts, the beloved Squish Studio, the hauntingly beautiful old Irish Cemetery, and Bunker Hill, the proud site of Newfoundland's first American radar station during the Second World War. This is land with character, history, and a sense of place that simply cannot be manufactured. At 1.8 acres you have the space and the freedom to build the coastal retreat you have always imagined, whether that is a private family compound, a vacation getaway, or a one of a kind investment on one of the world's most celebrated islands. Opportunities like this on Fogo Island are rare. Do not let this one pass you by.
