Overview
Description
Here’s your chance to make the most of what’s left of summer with this charming waterfront getaway on the Sherbrooke River, which flows directly into the ever-popular Sherbrooke Lake—one of Nova Scotia’s most beloved boating and swimming destinations. From your own private dock, you can hop in the boat and head straight onto the lake for a day of sun, water, and relaxation. Set on just over half an acre, this cozy cabin offers the flexibility to be used as a seasonal retreat or year-round residence. Thoughtfully updated, the home features a spacious second bedroom addition built around 2022, bringing the total to two bedrooms and complemented by not one, but two bright sunrooms, each positioned to maximize your view of the water. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee or hosting friends, the scenery never gets old. Spend your days sitting by your own stretch of water frontage, taking in the peaceful surroundings while loons call in the distance and turtles lazily float by—it’s the kind of natural serenity that’s hard to come by. The property also includes multiple well-maintained outbuildings for all your storage needs, as well as a solid above-ground pool ready for another season of fun with just a quick setup. While limited information is available due to the property being inherited, it’s clear that this is a rare find. Waterfront properties like this don’t come along every day, especially with such easy access to one of Nova Scotia’s premier lakes.
