12724 Highway 42, Ellison Bay/Gills Rock WI 54210

Walk to the Waterfront

I'm going to start this post with the comment that we rarely have homes this old come on market in northern Door County.  So many of our historic homes from early days have been torn down to make way for bigger, newer homes.  It seems as though every few years I'm lucky enough to get inventory like this for Door County home buyers.  This one is truly a gem!

Gills Rock Homes for Sale

The main house at 12724 Highway 42 has all of the charm you'd expect from a home built in 1900 (yes, that 123 years ago!) with hardwood floors, built-in cabinets, a lovely wood burning fireplace and so much more.  The front porch just invites you to sit and watch the seasons go by.  There are four bedrooms and two baths.

Over the 2-car garage is a large seasonal bonus room (could easily be made year-round with a heating/cooling wall unit) that provides a great deal of extra space....and this cozy corner of the bonus room has this cute little bar!

Gills Rock Cottages for Sale

However, the BEST part about this listing ISN'T that you can entertain your entire family from this property, with 7 bedrooms and 4 baths.  The best part is that the new Liberty Grove Mariners Park with hundred of feet of public shore is approximately half a block down the road!  Pay inland taxes but enjoy the shore as much as you want....sunsets, swimming, fishing, picnicking....you can do it all just footsteps away!!

This is a one-of-a-kind offering!  See more about this package deal of a Liberty Grove home and two cottages for sale here.  

This property is located approximately five miles north of downtown Ellison Bay in the unicorporated area of Gills Rock.  It is also across the street from the popular Gills Rock park---you're basially across the street from two fabulous public venues!  It's also just a few miles from the iconic Highway 42 drive from Gills Rock to Northport that has become known world-wide for its autumn colors.  If you are taking the ferry to Washington Island, you will pass these properties!
