Farewell to Summer - Tiverton from the River

We only had a few opportunities to enjoy the boat this summer. I kept telling myself to bring the camera and on our last voyage I did.
There are few things I enjoy more than a boat ride through the Sakonnet River. It was a chilly day and white billowy clouds littered the sky. A beautiful day not a wave or ripple to be found as far as eye could see.

As we enter the River from Nanaquaket Pond we are greeted by this Island. I guess it is called Gould Island as kids we always called it Rat Island with many stories to support how the rats got to the Island. It is a haven for the Birds. My family loves to explore this island. Not me. I'll stay on the boat and leave the Island for the Birds.



Moving down river towards Little Compton I am welcomed by some of my favorite homes which can only be seen by water (well unless you drive on the property).

A house on the river and corral in back reminds me that Tiverton is not just about the sea but also the land. Horse back riding is enjoyed as well as farming and fresh produce. Talk about the best of both worlds.

So close to the water sitting a top of a grand sea wall in the midst of the trees I smell the salt air blowing through the open windows. Images of crashing waves beating the grand sea wall singing it's stormy song on not so pleasant days. Magnificent sunsets on warm summer evenings. Standing by the glow of a fire watching a light snow fall feeling the chill of the sea. Oh, this is the life for me.

Along the shore of the river is this treasure waiting patiently for new owners knowing one day it too will be a wonder to see.

So now we bid farewell to Summer and say hello to winter. Soon we will be covered with a blanket of snow and the shore will hibernate. Her beauty will shine for only few to see as the fishermen make their way to sea.

Here is a great article"New England Style, Little Known and Liking It" found in the travel section of the New York Times written in 2007.

When you need to remember summer on a cold winter's day you could search out Paul Bergeron of Sakonnet River Pie. Enjoy a Handmade Native Fruit Pie made from fruit and berries grown on small coastal farms. Sakonnet River Pie is dedicated to supporting these family farms.

Don't Miss Out on that Water Front Property

It is funny how at times I am reminded how closely my two businesses are related. When you are in the Antique Business and you get a call to look at something you go because you just never know.

The other day I was researching water front property and seeing what was available for list price under $550,000.00. Among others I came across this listing I just couldn't avoid going to see. One - I love the water and two - the price just seemed right. Built 2006, 3/4 bedroom, 3 full baths, salt water front in a sort after RI town with a list price under $540,000. I have to go look right?

When you live in New England you sometimes forget that this:

Turns into this:

And it is exactly why I start searching early for water front property for sale. If you refer back to my post Spring is in the Air I can Smell the Ocean I was letting you know then about the water front listings. There are a lot of great links providing a ton of information about Newport County. In that post I mention Bristol County and Massachusetts and they are both still on the list. My other post Coastal Village News my be of interest to you also. This post mentions the new marina in Tiverton which is still on the way. Here is an update for those interested. Apparently Quality Yacht Services sold it to Trinity Marine Group of the Channel Islands for 8.6 million dollars.

Getting back to that water front property. When I saw the house I wanted to stay. It is in great condition. Hard wood and tile floors, whirl pool tub in the master bedroom with a deck overlooking the water, garage opening from both the drive way and water front, stucco/masonry exterior with trex decking, central a/c. Not to large not to small just right so there is plenty of time to enjoy summer. Need I say more? Whether you plan this home to be a vacation or full time property it has to be on your must see list.

If you start looking now maybe just maybe you can be in this home or another by the 4th of July.

And enjoying a glass of wine after a long day of play like this:

Seriously, if you are looking for water front property this is probably the best time to buy. There are many choices and the prices are right. I have many picks on my list. Don't miss out on that water front property you always wanted to own. I am even seeing bank owned water front property and those are five words I never thought I would use in the same sentence. Call me at 401-369-1766 or e-mail me at lgtiv@aol.com. Lets got House Hunting 2009 for Water Front Property.

The sun is out and I am going to grab my book, sit by the water and enjoy the rest of my day.

Happy Memorial Day,
