An article from the archives of the New York Times, July 2, 1911, reports “W. E. Oglivie, President of the Havana Central Railroad, is at Westport with his family and is occupying Bonnycroft Cottage...”
Original Douglas fir floors, a large porch with lake views, 600 sq. ft. great room, 8 BR/6.5 Baths, new
roof and upgraded heating and plumbing combine to make this 4525 sq. ft. home on 2+ acres an especially desirable property. A separate 1470 sq ft building with its own heating and electric could serve any of a number of uses.
History and solid quality and beauty are good reasons to look at this property, but the best reason to look at Bonnycroft might well be as an
investment, one that fits perfectly into what Westport, the community, has to offer. Each season brings more people of all ages interested in an active, healthy, lifestyle: early morning bike rides on lightly traveled roads; championship golf in the summer and XC skiing in the winter, right out your back door; sailing, rowing or yachting on Lake Champlain; fly fishing on the nearby rivers and ponds; competitive fishing derbys on the big lake. All this in a community that has the finest summer theatre in the Adirondacks, concerts in the park, artists in residence and fine dining on the lake.
Bonnycroft would be the perfect spot from which to have your family and friends all gather or make new friends by running a well equipped extended stay facility for guests arriving by car, Amtrak from Montreal or New York, boat or even small plane.
