You will absolutely love this well built, well planned contemporary home. It was custom built for the present owners and was designed to capture the beauty of the Bay and to be energy efficient. It’s nicely positioned on 13 private acres, down a long lane. As you approach the home you immediately get the feeling that the owners like to garden. The landscaping complements this seaside setting and adds an element of softness to the backdrop of the coastal ruggedness. The house sits on a knoll back about 400 feet from the shore, surrounded by sweeping lawns and gardens. It’s clad with western cedar siding stained blue and has a nautical feel. The front entry is finished with stone and gives visitors a glimpse of what to expect inside.

Once inside the foyer, you can see through to the opposite side of the house and out to the water. The interior offers 2,000 square feet of living space but immediately appears larger. The ceilings are 9 feet high and the exterior walls are filled with windows bringing in the sun and expanding the views. To the left is a wonderful study or third bedroom. It has built-in shelves and a full length window seat across the front. To the right of the foyer is an open area defined by a low wall of custom shelving and a bulkhead above. It’s the perfect spot to read, relax or watch television. Straight ahead on the water side is a spacious livingroom with vaulted ceiling and a stunning fireplace. This woodburning fireplace has a BIS insert and is capable of heating the home. Perfect for taking the chill off in the spring or early fall or for supplementary heating throughout the winter. The dining area is to the far right pushed out from the rest of the house, giving it a front and centre view of the Bay. A door from the living and dining area provides access to a large deck across the front overlooking the water. The kitchen is open to the dining and looks into the living areas as well. It is finished with an abundance of natural wood cabinetry, corian countertop, cork floor and built-in appliances.

On the east side of the house is the side entry with half bath, closet space and your laundry room. A short wide hall on the west side takes you to the guest bedroom, well appointed guest bathroom and the master suite. The master bedroom overlooks the water and has a door to a deck. There’s a huge ensuite bathroom with a tub and a corner shower with glass blocks. A spacious, well organized walk-in closet completes the master bedroom. The house hugs the ground so what a surprise to find out it has a full basement. A convenient set of wide stairs is located at the side entry.

The basement is huge and nicely divided off. All the walls are insulated and drywalled. The middle is wide open. To the right is a finished room ideal for obbies, crafts or exercise. At the back is the systems room and under the diningroom is a cold room. This basement offers many possibilities for more space if required. The systems are excellent and include oil fired in-floor radiant hot water heating, air exchanger, septic system and dug well.

The property has over 500 feet of direct ocean frontage with easy access to the shore. The Bay is ideal for boating, sailing and fishing. You can have your own mooring out front or keep your boat at the local marina just a few minutes away. There’s always activity on the water and in season you’ll see clam diggers on the beach, and fishermen on the water. The sunsets from this property are beautiful and each evening the sunset is different. Like al properties along our Nova Scotia coast, you’ll experience salt air, fresh breezes, seals and shore birds. There’s a well built garage/workshop building, suitable for one vehicle with the other side set up for a workshop. And there’s a beautiful natural pond located on the property with a sitting area and gardens.

The quaint village of Weymouth is just minutes away. Digby is just 20 minutes east and provides all essential shops and services. Priced below replacement value, this terrific waterfront property may be perfect for you.
