Waterfront property is always valuable in real estate. With the state of the economy, consider taking advantage of the steals and deals available in today’s real estate market.

In this economy, the value of property on a private beach far exceeds its price. An eight-bedroom home in Old Saybrook, CT with its own private beach has a listing price of $1.8M. Built in 2005, it is the perfect home for someone looking to relocate from a busy nearby metropolis like New York City or Boston. Old Saybrook, CT is a town that is part of a community of waterfront towns in Connecticut that are steeped in colonial history, each town having its own distinct New England charm. The region of eight towns along the Connecticut shoreline provides a breath of fresh air for city dwellers. The town of Old Saybrook provides small-town charm, yet it is also a short drive from casinos like Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, Mystic Seaport, historical homes and museums, theaters, outlet shopping centers, and art galleries.

Purchasing a home with its own private beach has plenty of advantages. A home with a private beach offers its inhabitants one hundred and eighty degrees of ocean views, uninterrupted by tourists and public boat docks, which are usually noisy early in the morning and late into the day during peak seasons. There is nothing worse than buying a waterfront property to “get away from it all” when the summer brings chaos to all times of the day. For those that like to entertain, beach barbecues would be a pleasant, private experience. For those that own a boat, going out for a day of fun won’t entail packing up the car with supplies, hitching the boat to the car, parking, unloading, then doing it all over again at the end of the day. A private boat dock on one’s own private beach will allow a group to simply load up the boat and head for open waters.
