Overview
Description
At the mouth of the LaHave River, this custom-designed property is uniquely positioned in an ocean estuary with an archipelago of islands right around the bend. Featuring privacy, space, and versatility with over 1700 square feet of living area, a full-length waterfront deck, sawmill, woodshed, greenhouse and a 2250 square foot seaplane hangar that includes a workroom and lounge. Stepping into the home, a sixteen-foot vaulted ceiling with full length windows reveals a view encompassing all the natural surroundings on this 6.37-acre lot with 430 feet of water frontage. Facing west for unbelievable sunsets, the open concept plan features a Thor gas range, a massive Electrolux fridge/freezer in the kitchen and a fireplace in the living area. The primary bedroom wing, with an ensuite and walk-in closet, is situated for privacy, while the second-level bedroom enjoys a stunning elevated perch over the living room. An additional full bathroom, laundry and pantry complete the main floor. Outdoor comfort was in mind with a hot tub and fire pit at the entrance to an 120-foot-long wharf. Additional attributes enhance the property, such as the 125-foot-long double seawall, and generator hook up ability. Furnishings are negotiable in the sale, enabling a potentially turnkey opportunity. The area is very tourism centric, so additional rental income could be part of the investment equation. The lot has subdivision potential as well, pending municipal approval. There are a multitude of daily activity options. Take the LaHave ferry, (which is minutes away) over to have coffee and a bagel at The LaHave Bakery, and then spend time at one of Nova Scotia’s top destinations, Crescent Beach. Alternatively, stay on the Riverport side for breakfast at The Rose Bay General Store and then walk Hirtles Beach and hike Gaff Point. The historic UNESCO town of Lunenburg is 15 minutes’ drive, Halifax is just over an hour, and the Stanfield International Airport is under an hour and a half.
