A meticulously restored residence on almost one and a half acres, featuring stunning waterfront views on 89 feet of frontage. There is over 2,000 sq/ft of living space plus an additional 1,000 sq/ft in four outbuildings.
A sweeping main floor layout with open dining, living, kitchen area and a screened in porch is the perfect way to unwind on a summer evening. Cathedral ceilings with skylights, and a wood burning fireplace accentuate the pristine design aesthetic. A refinished bathroom with laundry is the ultimate in convenience. The second floor comprises three bedrooms or two bedrooms plus a den/office and a four piece newly renovated bathroom and walk in closet.
There are so many destinations on this property. Four outbuildings on this property make you feel like you are at a resort. The jewel is a riverfront bunkie on the wharf with panoramic water views. It is an oasis with easy access over the road. A rustic Bunkie overlooking the pond, complete with Jotel wood stove, is the adventurous overnight option. A grand barn on two floors includes a “flex space” gym, workroom, storage space and gardening/woodshed. The cutest greenhouse/hobby room is yet another place to escape to. By far the best shower on the property is outside – with the ultimate view of the gardens.
The grounds are arborists' delight with a huge variety of species and mature rare plants. Unwind on one of the multiple granite patios and outdoor seating areas. Marvel at the gardens, terraced landscaping, rock walls, pond, or cozy up to the fire pit for an evening marshmallow roast.
Recent upgrades include the fully renovated kitchen and bathrooms, metal roof, furnace, Generac generator wharf with float, electrical, plumbing, heating and basement spray foam insulation. Features include a full home Generac system, security system, a hot tub, and anchored mooring ball. The dug well has never gone dry - it was used as the community well at one point in time. The original softwood plank flooring is still underneath as an option, and a cat/small dog door is at the side entrance and an invisible fence to keep dogs safe.
The location couldn’t be more central, and yet so private and peaceful. It is equidistant to Bridgewater’s box store amenities, the Unesco heritage town of Lunenburg, and the Riverport/Rose Bay General Store. A little further down the road will take you to the iconic Hirtles Beach/Gaff Point walking trail. Around the bend in the river is the Lahave Ferry. A quick jaunt over to the Lahave Bakery and Crescent/Rissers Beach. The Municipal Activity and Recreation Complex (MARC) with miles of woodland hiking trails and beautiful river rapids is close by, and across the river is the Lahave Yacht club.
