There are three essential things people look for in a great Chester property; privacy from neighbours, a front harbour water view and a plentiful and pure supply of fresh well water. The Rope Loft has all three of those qualities and so much more.
The Rope Loft is the quintessential Nova Scotia seaside restaurant with an abundance of opportunity. This iconic Chester property has incredible value, including tourist and marine possibilities and is zoned for multiple commercial operations and a residence. The ocean dream has never had so much potential.
The Rope Loft's waterside deck ambiance is as compelling as its food. A landmark for both locals and visitors, the front harbour ocean views and laid-back attitude perfectly suit the village pace. Located centrally next to the Tancook ferry dock, the Rope Loft features a majestic upstairs dining room and a cosy downstairs pub.
Historically, the “Old Wharf” has been operational as a marina and a restaurant since the 1980’s. Built over two hundred years ago, the property is one of the oldest commercial buildings in Nova Scotia.
A piece of Chester history resides within the solid oak construction of the building; the post and beam of the famed American privateer ship “Teaser”. A member of her crew blew the ship up, killing many of the crew, during the war of 1812, so the British would not capture the vessel.
Over five thousand square feet of commercial space including a twelve hundred square foot residence which could be owner occupied or capitalized for additional income.
If running a restaurant is not your speed, then consider turning the entire building into a gorgeous waterfront residence, retaining some of the original character of hand-hewn beams, and providing immediate access to sailor’s paradise!
