New property listed in 406-Queens County, South Shore

I have listed a new property at 67 Jud Freeman Road in Greenfield. See details here

Original and unspoiled 900 + sq. ft. three-season cottage on 1.7 acres with 425 feet of water frontage where Ponhook Lake and the Medway River meet. This 2-bedroom getaway, in the heart of Cottage Country, has been in the same family for generations...actually built by Jud Freeman, whose name adorns the road that meanders through one of the prettiest spots you will find in Nova Scotia. The setting is the quintessential early 20th century summer home...both the architectural style, with its large covered porch, and period interior finishes takes one back in time. Ship-lap wall paneling throughout speaks to a hearty design, providing a warm environment for nights spent around the cozy fireplace. Additionally, a new owner could refinish the beautiful hardwood floors to their original look. The eat-in kitchen is also heated via wood, and includes a refrigerator and stove. Two large bedrooms, a full bathroom and laundry room round-out the floor plan. Water is provided by a dug well and lake water pumps to the bathroom; septic system was installed in the late 1980s; 100 amp breakers. The lot is large and private, dominated by huge towering mature spruce & pine trees that lead to the expansive, gentle shoreline. There is a garage / boathouse near the water, and the original outhouse building (now a small shed) remains. All appliances and furnishings are included. The community of Greenfield has all amenities close-by, with easy commutes to Bridgewater (30 min.) or Halifax / international airport (90 min.).

I have listed a new property at 299 Albion Drive in Middlefield. See details here

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.
