Overview
Description
This 15.5 acre property is lovingly known as “Deer Cove.” It boasts approximately 1000’ of waterfrontage, including a white sandy beach. This property was built by an environmentally conscious developer in 1987. He chose this lot from the thirty large lots that he created to build this cottage as a model home. There are strict covenants in place to protect your investment, your peace of mind & your peace & tranquility. As you approach this fantastic property, take notice that all the buildings are square with hip roofs. Wooden plank walkways connect the buildings for ease of access. The main cottage boasts a wraparound deck & a 12’ x 12’ deck, offering bench seating & enough space for the patio table & chairs. Inside, you’ll find a lovely open concept. The rustic kitchen is equipped with a peninsula, boasting a true Nova Scotia granite countertop. This building & the guest cottage are both warmed by woodstoves. Within the 280 sf guest cottage, you’ll find two bedrooms, each offering outside access to the covered verandah & a view of the lake. Both cottages have beautiful wood floors. All contents remain, including two sea-going Necky fibreglass kayaks. Only a few personal effects will be removed. The cottage roof was replaced in 2009 with Enviro-shakes – a composite product made in Canada. The wash house contains a special Swedish-designed Separett toilet. It separates the liquid from the solid, and a solar-powered extractor fan means there’s no odour. The storage room, outhouse & woodshed add to the functionality of this off-grid property. Except for the woodshed, all buildings are finished inside with cedar. A cell phone tower across the lake, allows you to have access to the outside world if you choose to. There are two paths leading to the beach, where you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon swimming & basking in the sun. This turnkey package could be your family’s next great adventure!
