For Sale: Sherwood Mill Pond Home With a View—for $1.5 Million

An 18th century house sitting in the middle of Westport’s Sherwood Mill Pond is up for sale after 160 years in the same family. Owner Jeff Northup is asking $1.5 million for the 800-square-foot house, which has no running water, electricity or sewers. But he said the buyer will also get 6 acres of oyster and clam beds as part of the deal, according to today’s The Advocate. (CLICK TO ENLARGE ) WestportNow.com photos

OH BOY!!!! Let’s tear it down and build a multi-million dollar McMansion at least 5 stories high(have to go up, no land to go out,unless you put everything on piers…..hmmmm?), with an out house(at least a four holer), windmill, and cute little well house. Then we can sit on our rooftop deck and eat our own oysters and clams. That will look REAL nice!!!!.

What a fantasy house! To live out there all summer, write a book… Does anyone have info on how it’s used now?

Hey they’re tearing down the barn at 34 Edgewater…..now an even better view of this little island hideaway.
I remember this as being a real scary place back in the late 50’s and early 60’s……but then again, no kid wants to get caught!!!

I know Jeff and spent many days here in late 60s what a wonderful friend and space this was to spend time laughing and playing music.
