On August 12, 2015, Ausbon Sargent officially took ownership of the Sheehan property which lies adjacent to Evergreen Point, a 9-acre property that was bequeathed to Ausbon Sargent by Marjorie Young in September of 2005. Evergreen Point protects 1,000 feet of shore frontage on Little Lake Sunapee and this new acreage will protect an additional 150 feet on the lake, as well as 130 feet of frontage on Newport Road. The cove on the Sheehan property offers an ideal spot to place a nesting platform for loons. Sharon and Duffy Sheehan's acreage would have been a suitable property to develop and build a house on had they not been so gracious with their gift.
