Property Description
Historic Schoolhouse with Ocean Views – Tors Cove, NL
A rare chance to own a meticulously loved piece of Newfoundland history in the scenic community of Tors Cove, just 35 minutes from St. John's city limits. This former two-room schoolhouse, the last of its kind along the Irish Loop, seamlessly blends heritage charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Preserving its original character, the property boasts its iconic center eyebrow feature, original chalkboards, hardwood floors, and elevated 10-foot ceilings. Recent enhancements include large front vinyl windows, fully refreshed painting in the interior and exterior of schoolhouse, recently updated bathroom, refreshed cabinets, and newly landscaped flower gardens all adding comfort and curb appeal.
With a vibrant cultural history as the former home of the Five Island Art Gallery, this unique space has hosted art exhibits, musical performances, textile workshops, book launches, poetry readings, and puppet shows. Whether envisioned as a fine craft boutique, cozy tea room, vacation rental, seasonal retreat, or another creative venture, the possibilities are endless both commercially or for personal family cottage use. Ideally located, the property offers breathtaking ocean views with direct access to the East Coast Trail hiking trail, in close proximity to sea kayaking, boat tours, dinner theatres, pubs, restaurants, a day spas, retreat areas, and other tourist attractions. A rare investment opportunity in a spectacular coastal setting.
