- Description: Perched in the coveted Upalong enclave, this remarkable property offers 70 feet of pristine beachfront, a private dock on the calm waters of Nigh Creek, and superb elevation with views of the lighthouse & harbour. Just a short stroll from the charming shops and cafs of Hope Town, this property sits where the island’s heart & history meet. As Richard Seaberg writes in his novel Hope Town: Reality of a Dream, “Upalong area would have been the most desirable land in Hope Town, or Great Harbor as it was known then, considering its higher elevation and views to both the harbor and the ocean. The breezes would come from any direction depending on the time of the year.” Today, that same timeless appeal remains among friendly residents who appreciate a simpler life, and an atmosphere steeped in legend. Adding to its charm is a brush with fame: Dr. George Gallup, pioneering mind behind the Gallup Poll, and his wife, Ophelia, once owned this land and the homes on either side. The Gallups wintered here, drawn by the peace & beauty that still define this coastal retreat. A rare legacy offering.
