The Icon of Riddell’s Bay
For over 200 years the Heron’s Nest Estate has boasted one of the most spectacular waterfronts in Bermuda – the true Icon of Riddell’s Bay. This special property’s rich heritage began with the earliest recorded conveyance in 1803, purchased in 1936 by one of the General Motors Company founder’s family heirs. This rare waterfront estate, complete with its own private “Haggis Island’, remained in this same family until recently. The house enjoys over 450 ft of prime boating waterfront on the protected waters of Riddell’s Bay complete with a large deep water dock, 2 boat moorings and a spacious 2 bedroom cottage. The 2 storey main house is approximately 5,300 square feet with original design by Wil Onions. The house proper consists of 6 bedrooms - most offering breathtaking views of The Great Sound and Riddell’s Bay - plus 4 fireplaces, French doors to a large terrace overlooking the water as well as a 2 bedroom, 1 bath staff quarter. It is also finished with valuable aged Bermuda Cedar throughout.
Included is also a spacious cottage, recently renovated with garage, laundry room, and 2 fireplaces. In addition, the property offers croquet lawn with fish ponds and horticultural buildings. The current owner’s vision is transforming this beautiful eight+ acre estate into an exclusive boatable waterfront community. Lots are approximately .5 acre in size excluding the main house lot which is over 4 acres. All have fabulous water or overland views and all new owners will enjoy waterfront access with dock. This estate sits on prime protected waterfront; the well-appointed grounds are lush with many types of trees such as Grape Bay, Pittosporum, Oleander, Bermuda Cedars and fragrant Frangipani. Rarely do properties of this nature come to the market - perhaps a handful in one’s lifetime. Heron’s Nest House & Heron’s Nest Cottage offered at $5,995,000 (inclusive of Haggis Island); Estate lots starting at $775,000. Please contact Rhonda Casling at Rego Sotheby’s International Realty.
This is the life! Live in peaceful Somerset with a great view over the Sound, and commute to town from Cavello Bay ferry stop just minutes from your front door. The cottage has a spacious living room with working fireplace, a covered porch for enjoying the breezes and the view, and two bedrooms. The kitchen is designed for a dedicated gourmet cook. There is also an unfinished lower level. Please contact the sole listing agent Margot Cooper 441-535-4323 or email margotcooper@ibl.bm
