Description
In seaside Cheverie, where the pace softens and the coastline becomes part of everyday life, this historic 1875 residence offers a rare chance to own one of the area’s true landmark homes. Originally built for the town’s mayor, this ocean-view property has worn many hats over the years, from prominent private residence to local storefront, and now stands ready for its next chapter. Rich in character and layered with history, the home showcases high ceilings, original woodwork, wainscoting, and charming former servants’ quarters with a kitchenette. The layout is generous and adaptable, with 5+ bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms that create options for extended family living, homesteading, guest accommodations, creative work, or a home-based business concept. Natural light fills the kitchen, the ocean view living room is warmed by a wood stove, and a series of meaningful updates bring everyday comfort to this heritage setting. Among them are vinyl windows, a metal roof, an updated upper bath, new electrical panel, fully paid solar panels, and a brand new veranda completed in 2026. Outside, the property unfolds into a setting that feels both functional and deeply personal, with gardens, orchard space, wood shed, a solar-powered chicken coop, cedar hot tub, and multiple auxiliary buildings offering exceptional storage and flexibility. A nearby path to the community pond adds another layer of charm, while the exterior-access cellar remains a practical nod to the home’s enduring utility. With Rural Residential zoning allowing for up to two units or potential commercial use, this is a property that offers not just beauty and history, but options. Just an hour from Halifax and 25 minutes from Windsor, it is a rare coastal offering for buyers seeking a home with legacy, lifestyle, and lasting possibility.
