Photos of Historic Bonavista Property: $45,000
The first two are shots of what the view looks like if you are
standing outside at the back of the building overlooking the harbor.
This is one place we wanted to put a deck.
This is an old bulding in Bonavista (where the explorer
John Cabot discovered Newfoundland) that is perfect for
a bed-and-breakast renovation or other use. You can
see a replica of "The Matthew" in the harbor -- the boat
Cabot used to cross the Atlantic, and the view is the
best in town.
Tourists are dying for things to do in Bonavista, and
this property could be a gold mine. A coach-house
tavern, a B&B, a tourist shop, a restaurant
-- the possibilities are endless.
What makes it so attractive is not just the spectacular
view, but the fact that this building in on the site
where the British made their first successful stand
against French and Indian intruders in 1704. A sea
captain from Boston rallied the residents behind him,
and from this hill they fought back the French and the
attackers never returned. We intended to call this
property: "The Battle of 1704 Bed and Breakfast"
