Price History
The property consists of two historic Dutch barges, Zeldenrust and Vol Vertrouwen, and a freehold coastal mooring on Mersea Island's Coast Road. Zeldenrust, a 56ft barge from 1903, offers well-balanced accommodation, including an aft double cabin, saloon, second sleeping area, and workshop space, with a galley kitchen, shower room, WC, and washing machine. The barge benefits from solar, wind, and diesel power systems, and a new hull survey in 2026. Vol Vertrouwen, a 41ft sailing barge from 1896, has character and versatility, with a kitchenette, accommodation for up to five, and engine and solar-powered systems. The mooring is approximately 200 meters long, with a timber boardwalk and uninterrupted views of the estuary, and is accessible to paddle-boarders and swimmers. Infrastructure is in place for connection to mains electricity and water.
