This very unique property must be seen to be appreciated. The setting is beautiful and the workmanship is above average. It’s located in Bramber, about 1.5 hours from Halifax and within 25 minutes to Windsor. Situated at the end of a paved road, the property overlooks Bramber Beach on the Minas Basin.

The house was custom designed and built over the past 13 years. It shows like new! It’s very spacious with over 1,900 square feet of quality living space. There’s a very large entry porch which opens to the spacious kitchen and family room. Off the kitchen is a walk-in storage room. The kitchen itself is an open concept with lots of cabinets. It’s sunny and bright with windows on two walls and a door leading to the extensive deck overlooking the water. On one side of this main floor is the laundry area, two large bedrooms (one with a large walk-in closet) and the other side adjacent the kitchen is a dining area and livingroom. These rooms also have a door going out to the deck. Both the kitchen and livingroom spaces have efficient woodstoves. At the far end of the house is another large room ideal for study, home office, or even a bedroom. A set of stairs leads to the upper level which features a large room (14.6’ x 20.8’) with a vaulted ceiling and huge windows looking out to the beach. Back on the main level, stairs take you down to a walk-out lower level. Here you’ll find an open working area with sink and counter, ideal for potting or preserve making, hobbies and other fun activities. There’s also another bedroom, huge walk-in shower and a custom built 8 person sauna. A door opens to a sheltered terrace with attractive stone wall.

The house was built to be environmentally friendly, energy efficient and maintenance-free. It has cedar siding, mostly pine interior walls, wood and ceramic/concrete floors, aluminum clad wood windows and excellent systems. The construction includes ICF (insulated concrete foundation) and non-toxic building materials were used throughout. It’s heated electrically and designed for passive solar gain making it very easy to heat. The lower level has an etched by acid concrete floor with in-floor heat. All the interior doors are refinished “antique” doors.

Other features include air exchanger, divided well, removable screen room, drinking water system and quality trims, both inside and out. There’s also a post and beam workshop, a small shed and a greenhouse.

The property consists of 1.8 acres and is well landscaped with lawn, wooded areas and gardens. The beach is just a 2 minute walk away. There’s a fabulous view of the water and lots of shore birds.
