Overview
Description
Escape to Nova Scotia: 142-Acre Riverfront Homestead with FiberOp Ditch the urban congestion for the ultimate East Coast sanctuary. Held by the same family since the 1940s, this rare 142-acre estate in West Middle Sable offers the space, freedom, and privacy that is nearly impossible to find elsewhere. Spanning both sides of a quiet rural road, this versatile property combines extensive riverfront living with massive acreage and functional homesteading infrastructure. THE WATERFRONT (5 Acres): Boasting over 2,000 feet of direct, pristine frontage on the Sable River, this beautifully treed lot is a private nature sanctuary. Build your dream riverside cabin, keep it for ultimate privacy, or subdivide and resell it to recoup your investment. THE WOODLOT (137 Acres): Directly across the road sits an expansive, untouched 137-acre parcel. Over 800 ft wide and 1.35 miles deep, it features a rich mix of mature hardwood and softwood. A woodlot survey is available. This land holds incredible potential for sustainable forestry, private hiking/ATV trails, or off-grid development. THE FARMHOUSE & BARN: The solid 1,600 sq ft story-and-a-half home is full of country character. Remodeled in the 1980s, it features a modern septic system, reliable drilled/dug wells, and an eat-in kitchen with a unique, working wood/oil enamelled cookstove. Large east-facing living room windows showcase morning river views. The flexible floor plan includes a main-floor bedroom, den, retro 4pc bath, and a massive upstairs bonus room easily convertible into two additional bedrooms. A mowed yard leads to a spectacular 29'x22' story-and-a-half post-and-beam-barn-perfect for a workshop, studio, or hobby farm. THE LOCATION: Work remotely without compromise: BellFiberOp high-speed internet is available at the road! You are just a short drive from the white sands of Louis Head Beach, and only 25 minutes to the historic, oceanfront town of Shelburne for all shopping, dining, and amenities. View the online tour
