There are homes...and then there are sanctuaries. This one-of-a-kind oceanfront retreat is the place where time slows and creativity awakens. Originally built by one family in the 1980s, this cherished home has been thoughtfully reimagined by its current owner who has lovingly infused every space with warmth, artistry and soul while honouring its unique character. Set on 8.5 acres with an additional 20 acres across the road this property has over 880ft of direct waterfront - it's magical to view in person. Sunlight pours through the windows overlooking the ocean and the sea breezes drift through the open concept design. The main floor is accessed off a 3 season sun porch to a living room, sitting area, dining area and a quaint kitchen looking out to all. A fabulous bathroom with clawfoot to stare out to the sea and a small laundry/storage room complete this level. A spiral staircase brings you to the primary bedroom overlooking the main floor with loads of bonus storage & walk in closet. Another set of alternating step treads takes you to a cozy bedroom hideaway. The sun rises over the ocean sets on the garden side and the Milky Way is often visible on the right evening. Fish for mackerel off the rock, take a rowboat off the slip and watch for seals, porpoises, herons and countless other species. There is a natural path on the left of the cliff the house sits on to wander. Pitcher plants can be found along the driveway and chanterelles grow in the pathways. Blueberries, wild strawberries, service berries and more just exist naturally. Sea peas and sea asparagus grow along the shore. Rarely does a property possess such unmistakable spirit. More than a waterfront home this is a home that encourages a slower and more intentional way of living and now here for you to grow it into an exceptional space for it's next chapter. 5 mins to Lockeport, 25 to Shelburne and 2hrs to Halifax.
