Overview
Description
Rare opportunity to own a splendid cottage retreat on Lake Deception one of Shelburne County’s largest and most desirable lakes! Not only does the cottage feature a newly renovated main level with an open concept kitchen/dining/living area (with a heat pump), as well as a main bedroom, guest bedroom, and a bathroom (with shower), but it also offers a full, dry basement (with lots of windows and a washer and dryer), which could easily be divided and converted into another bedroom or living area. This property also features new, worry-free exterior siding and is surrounded on three sides by a large, well-maintained deck (with lots of lighting) that provides another space for relaxation, play, and lakeside party fun! The deck comes with a party/bug tent, a cantilever patio umbrella, a mobile barbeque grill, lots of deck furniture, a bean-bag toss game, and a propane fire table. At the waterfront there is a 24-foot sectional dock (with an 8 x 8 platform at the end) for sipping your favourite beverage and watching the sun rise or set--or simply enjoying the turtles and bird life. Further out, you will find a swimming platform in deeper water- swim or kayak out and take a refreshing dip! Between the cottage and the lake there is a newly created open space with a firepit and garden beds. Get your marshmallows ready and buy that washer toss set or Petanque balls you always wanted. While you’re enjoying your coffee on the deck or dock and savouring your newfound tranquility, watching the humming birds fight for control of your feeder in the summer--or relaxing with your feet up in the fall or winter in front of your woodstove--remember this: the town of Shelburne with all its amenities is only 20 minutes away and the splendour of Roseway Beach and the bold Atlantic only 35 minutes away. Fibreop is available, making working from home a breeze. This lake side retreat is not to be missed!
