Overview
Description
3-Building Compound in Paradise! The 1st building is a stately 2,780 SF character-filled century home (C1875); the 2nd building is an attractive 1,390 SF studio/2nd residence (1998); and the 3rd is a barn with loft (C1875); all located in Shoal Cove in the beautiful seaside community of Blandford. The spacious light-filled main house has 4-bedrooms and 4-bathrooms, is surrounded by extensive gardens, with sweeping views of the ocean and distant Tancook Island. Features include wide hemlock plank floors, high ceilings with exposed beams, custom propane fireplace in the living room, inviting eat-in kitchen with wood stove, a separate dining room, library, mud room, storage-pantry, 3-piece washroom with laundry, and a front door patio with ocean views. The charm and traditional character of this home makes it well suited to be used as a B&B (it was for 21 years) or would make a beloved family home. A separate 1.5-storey, 1,390 SF secondary building, added in 1998, has been used as a residence and commercial iterations such as a pottery studio, art gallery, and most recently, a vintage clothing shop. General Basic zoning allows for a myriad of uses. The 2nd building is set up with water, septic, power, heat pumps, a bathroom, and a partial kitchen, supporting its use as a guest house and/or short-term/long-term rental accommodation. Upgrades by the current owners over the last 5-years include a new woodstove in the main house kitchen, peat moss septic system, water treatment system, chimney replacement, sump pump and air purification system, oil tank, and new cedar shingles on 2-sides of the house. Note: solar panels pre-heat the domestic hot water. The grounds have been lovingly and skillfully developed, with flower beds, patios, and decks. For anyone considering moving away from city life, looking to open a home-based business, or to experience more connection with the natural world, this unique opportunity to own a beautiful property by the ocean is worth exploring.
