EUREKA, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, April 26, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Jon Witkop and Michelle Rowland of the Eureka office of Corcoran Icon Properties have just completed the completion of the historic Southport Landing mansion at 444 Phelan Road in beautiful Loleta, California. listed . Just five miles north of Eureka, the property is near the southern waterway of Humboldt Bay.
Charles Heney was the original owner of the land and it was part of his farming operations. Heney had come to San Francisco from New Brunswick with the gold rush of 1849 and then ended up in Eureka in 1855. He opened a general store and became a postmaster before buying Southport Ranch. His dream included developing Southport as a town and as a shipping point for the farming community. He built a railroad in 1885 to facilitate the transportation of goods to market. However, weather and circumstances were against the plan, and he was out of business by 1885. His son William, proprietor of the Humboldt Times in Eureka, moved to the area and completed the Colonial Revival house down a country lane, moving to Southport in 1901 with his large family.
The home sits on 2.84 acres with majestic views of the bay, pastureland and cypress forests. The three-story, 5,400-square-foot home includes eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, a study, recreation room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, and living room — a total of 20 rooms, all with stunning views of the dramatic surroundings. Like a step back in time, the graceful staircase, the shiny patina of the wooden floors, the lighting fixtures, the detailed fittings and the spacious veranda reflect all the luxury and history of the building.
As the family grew and moved on, the house fell into disrepair for some time. Then, in 1987, a new owner restored the mansion, bringing it back to its former glory with modern wiring, plumbing, and sheetrock. Subsequent owners renovated it and opened it as a bed and breakfast in 1997.
Southport Landing is a registered historic home on the shores of Humboldt Bay, built around the turn of the century. Once a haven for weary ship captains, this early colonial residence was the center of the community of Southport, a railroad and shipping port that connected the Eel River basin to San Francisco. Now hiking, kayaking, biking, bird watching and beach combing are all easily accessible.
“Southport Landing is almost magical in both its setting and its design,” commented Witkop, Listing Agent. “It is a timeless classic property that can transport you to another time and beautiful dimension.” The home is listed at $1,275,000.
