Portsea boatshed sells for just shy of $1 million

A Portsea boatshed has been sold for close to $1 million by the Boykett family.

Changing hands for the first time in almost 70 years, boatshed 17 Fisherman’s Bend Foreshore had been listed with an asking range of $910,000 and $1 million.

Kay & Burton secured the sale of the boatshed, which is not connected to power or water.

The buyers were local holidaymakers.

The last Fisherman’s Beach sale by Kay & Burton was in 1991.

The last confirmed record price was when Portsea boat shed 23 fetched a record $615,000 in late 2015.

Set at the foot of the track to Shelley Beach it had been tightly held for over four decades.
