A rare waterfront estate on a private peninsula on Harrington Sound is now for sale.

There are expansive views and grounds at the main house, Coral Ledge, which sits on 1.75 acres and offers a panorama of the waters before it.

“Coral Ledge was designed by owner Josephine Dodge Wilkinson, with well-known Scottish architect Lawrence Smart,” said realtor Rhonda Casling.

“Building began in 1930 and marks a revival of interest in Bermudian vernacular design. The graceful home has large, well-proportioned rooms, all with high tray ceilings.”

The Hamilton Parish estate is available through Rego Sotheby’s International Realty, for $4,850,000. Three bedrooms have independent fireplaces, as do the “generous-sized” formal living room and formal dining room.

“Bermuda cedar has been used throughout — in flooring, beams as well as baseboards,” Ms Casling said.

“Also of interest is the long flowing roof lines, detached buttery and protected courtyard.”

The grounds are primarily surrounded by water. A large concrete dock and cove are complemented by “his and her changing rooms”.

An ancillary one-bedroom cottage with a private drive is part of the property. There is also a “dry room” once used to house linens, and an art studio.

“All of the buildings have been strategically positioned to offer privacy as well as take advantage of uninterrupted water views,” Ms Casling said.

“The home has been closed up for a very long time and will benefit from someone with vision to restore it to its former glory.”
