Set on 1.2 acres of lush tropical land in the peaceful community of Bourne, this spacious two-storey home offers privacy, flexibility, and outstanding potential. Located just 3 miles from Portsmouth and only a 2-minute drive from the main road connecting Portsmouth to the East Coast, the property combines easy access with a tranquil natural setting.
The house comprises two self-contained levels, each featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. Separate entrances to each floor make the property well suited for two-family occupancy, long-term rentals, or vacation accommodation.
The upper floor boasts an exceptionally large open-plan living space measuring approximately 30 x 35 feet. Five sets of double glass-panel doors open onto the expansive L-shaped balcony, filling the interior with natural light and cooling breezes while framing beautiful mountain views. Complementing the upper balcony, the ground floor features a similarly generous L-shaped verandah overlooking the garden. Both floors enjoy generous outdoor living areas, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with each level offering access to the rear garden. The lower floor opens directly onto the garden, while a staircase from the balcony provides convenient access from the upper level.
Additional features include a double garage with direct access to the house and a hurricane-resilient design that served as a community shelter during Hurricane Maria in 2017.
The property requires only minor repairs, including replacement of laminate flooring in one bedroom, replacement of wall tiles in one bathroom, and exterior repainting.
The grounds feature mature fruit trees including mango, guava, citrus, and coconut, along with palms and tropical flowering plants. The mostly gently sloping land is flat around the house and offers ample usable space. The lawn beside the house, as well as the lawn to the rear, would provide ideal locations for a pool.
Whether you’re seeking a spacious family residence, a multi-family home, or an income-generating investment property, this versatile property offers a rare opportunity in a peaceful setting near Portsmouth.
