MLS #1303429Listed September 28, 2026
St. John's
$174,900

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build in historic Fort Amherst, one of St. John’s’ most sought-after and recognizable locations. Vacant building lots in Fort Amherst are extraordinarily rare, and opportunities to build a home overlooking The Narrows are virtually unheard of. Positioned at the entrance to St. John’s Harbour, 26 Fort Amherst Road offers a spectacular vantage point over the iconic, cliff-lined passage and Newfoundland’s rugged Atlantic coastline. Some properties offer a view, this one offers a front-row seat. Imagine designing a home where The Narrows becomes part of your everyday life — watching boats navigate the harbour entrance against the dramatic backdrop of the coastline, taking in views toward Cabot Tower, and watching the East Coast Trail wind along the cliffs and shoreline. The scenery is constantly evolving, from passing boats and shifting weather to the changing colours and character of the Atlantic. While the setting feels remarkably removed from the pace of the city, downtown St. John’s is only minutes away. The combination of sweeping harbour views, rugged coastal scenery, historic surroundings, and convenient access to the city creates an extraordinary setting for a custom home. For investors, the property also presents an opportunity to create something truly distinctive. Its landmark setting and proximity to downtown could lend itself to a luxury short-term rental or unique accommodation concept, offering visitors the chance to experience St. John’s from one of its most memorable vantage points. Whether you envision a spectacular private residence, an investment property, or a luxury retreat, 26 Fort Amherst Road offers the opportunity to create something entirely your own in a setting that cannot be replicated. Build your vision overlooking The Narrows and make your mark on one of St. John’s’ most remarkable coastal landscapes. (id:66441)
