Two Miles of Oceanfrontage

This incredible property is located within 15 minutes to Shelburne. It consists of 81 acres on a private peninsula and includes a complete 44 acre island with land-bridge, making it accessible to the island at low tide. There are open fields, meadow, rolling hills, and forest. There’s a very nice protected inlet in the front harbour, ideal for anchorage.

There’s a huge “freshwater” pond, perfect for canoeing, row boats and swimming. And, there are pristine white sand beaches and endless spots to sit and enjoy the natural surroundings. It’s a birdwatcher’s paradise. You’ll be impressed with the vegetation and wildness. There are cranberries on the island and other berry patches. It’s a blend of sun, sand and surf beyond compare. And, sunsets to die for! The house dates back to the mid 1800s. It’s large with 2,800 square feet of very comfortable living space and its in very good repair. The present owners had substantial renovations completed in the 1990s and added a guest suite 5 years ago. There’s a formal entry but most visitors come in by way of the huge mudroom on the side. It’s perfect for a seaside farm. Above the garage is a guest suite. It’s a well lit spacious room with nice views. It measures 25 x 17 and includes a 3 piece ensuite bathroom. The kitchen is huge with lots of cabinets and counterspace.

There’s a small pantry and a back staircase to the upper level. Off the kitchen looking out to sea is a wonderful screen room. The diningroom is a very bright room with oversized windows to capture the unobstructed views towards the water. The livingroom is cozy and has a custom built stone fireplace that I understand heats very well. A study and full bath are located on the first floor. A solid staircase leads to the second level. Up here there are 2 large bedrooms, 2 smaller bedrooms and another bathroom, storage and a large open space at the rear. All the bedrooms have views.

Outside around the house there are stone walls and gardens. Wild roses line the paths to the pond. There’s a very nice barn too, which was reshingled on the exterior a few years ago, perfect for a workshop, boats, studio or animals.
