Unplug, unwind and relax! It is hard to imagine a more perfect spot for getting away from it all. The lakefront cottage at 299 Albion Drive encapsulates a complete immersion into nature. It is not often that property becomes available in the quiet and tranquil setting of Nature Life Estates, and so the owners took a very thoughtful view when approaching this 2007-08 build in such a perfect setting...on one of the most sought-after lakes on the South Shore. The design takes one back in time; providing a refreshing off-the-grid experience...a central great room providing open space to gather around the wood stove and take-in the 11 foot + ceiling. A nice sized bedroom and bathroom, each with sliding barn doors, complete the floor plan. The bathroom features a composting toilet, a sink and claw-foot tub (not currently connected to plumbing). The large covered veranda will be a frequent gathering place, giving shade on hot lazy summer days, providing cover during a rain shower, and extending the living space for evening conversations & entertaining. All will enjoy the outside shower stall that comes with a portable water heater. The community is a mixture of seasonal and full-time residents. For those seeking a year-round home or cottage, the walls are fully insulated, access to power poles is close, the road is plowed in winter, and the lot was approved for a septic system when purchased. The metal roof was added in 2024. Propane-powered stove and refrigerator remain, as do the furniture and all contents (with the exception of owners’ personal items). There is also a shed for extra storage. The village of Greenfield, and all amenities, is only 10 minutes away, with Liverpool (20 min.) and Bridgewater (40 min.) both close by.

Arguably, on one of the prettiest bodies of water on the South Shore, this early 20th century waterfront cottage provides spectacular ocean views and stunning sunsets. Perched upon over 8 acres with a nice mixture of softwood and mature hardwoods, and a 300 foot (+/-) quintessential Nova Scotia rocky beach. The main cottage has one bedroom, half-bath and kitchen with vaulted ceiling. A large bright & open sun room addition in 2019 (with vaulted ceiling & exposed beams) immerses one in the outside environment, while drenching the interior with tons of natural light. Additional accommodations are found in the stand-alone 10 x 10 Bunkie (with power). There are two other out-buildings – a funky shower room, and the original outhouse remains. A short path takes one through the Recognizing that location is the most important factor, it is impossible to understate the potential for a re-imagined, fully renovated property, perfectly suited as a family getaway or for short-term vacation income.

I have listed a new property at 163 Hillside Road in Brooklyn. See details here

Early 1900s home spanning 3 PIDs for over 1.37 acres in the coastal community of Brooklyn. In addition to the unmistakable and quintessential South Shore Nova Scotia architecture, this property offers an array of options and opportunities for a new owner. The sheer property size, quiet street, mixture of mature trees, shrubs and other greenery will appeal to those who appreciate a tranquil, private location. Thinking of renovations, the layout offers lots of choices. There are two separate 1.5-storey living spaces, each with its own kitchen and full bath - the main house with 3 bedrooms, and an in-law suite section with 2 bedrooms. While not currently a full duplex, the property zoning does permit up to 3 units. Given its location - a short stroll from two neighbourhood parks and the Brooklyn Marina and a short drive to a half-dozen white sand beaches, one can also imagine a signature short-term / vacation income property. Optionally, one could open-up the floor plan to create a stunning 5-bedroom family home. The property also includes two out-buildings - a nice workshop with loft and a two-car garage. All amenities of the Town of Liverpool are just a 6-minutes drive away, Halifax and international airport less than two hours.
