Overview
Description
Set in the heart of the picturesque town of Mahone Bay, this rare and exceptional property offers over an acre of partially cleared land with an incredible blend of privacy, charm, and development potential. Framed by mature hardwood and softwood trees and featuring approximately 200 feet of frontage along the beautiful Ernst Creek, the setting feels peaceful and tucked away while still being just a short walk to everything this vibrant coastal community has to offer. Enjoy easy access to grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, the community centre, walking trails, antique shops, boutiques, and local amenities - all within minutes from your doorstep. The location also places you just 20 minutes from both Lunenburg and Bridgewater, approximately an hour to Halifax via Highway 103, and a little over 30 minutes to some of the South Shore’s most celebrated beaches. Adding even more character and possibility is the existing 24' x 48' barn - a striking feature full of rustic appeal and creative potential, though in need of restoration. Whether you envision a custom luxury residence, guest house, income suite, or a unique “barndominium” conversion, the opportunities here are substantial. Residential zoning combined with restrictive covenants permitting up to three structures/residences (including the barn) create a compelling canvas for future development. The subdivision plan indicates suitability for both well and septic systems, and property lines have already been clearly marked, helping simplify the path toward your vision. Properties offering this level of location, privacy, character, and flexibility within town limits are exceptionally difficult to find.
