***This property is now sold***. Congratulations to the new owners; sellers were fantastic to work with.
Western Head has long been a significant point of land for the area’s fishing vessels, and in more modern times, a haven for surfers from all over the world. Suffice to say, Scott Bay offers the quintessential South Shore Nova Scotia bold open-ocean experience. Residents lucky enough to live along this stretch of coastline are treated to spectacular sun rises, and the constantly changing scenery as ocean swells meet the shore.
Occasionally, a special listing comes to market. 1049 Shore Road is such a property. This custom open-concept Cape Cod spans 3.26 acres over two parcels, with 430 feet of pebble and cobblestone beach footsteps away. Despite being a modern build (2000), the cedar-shingled exterior blends effortlessly into the surrounding old weathered homes of Western Head and Moose Harbour.
The interior is just as awe-inspiring. Generous use of skylights and large windows bathe the home in natural light, seamlessly connecting to the surrounding environment. Cathedral ceilings and fantastic lighting add to the already bright, airy interior. The clever main-level layout features kitchen, living room with propane wall fireplace, family room / den, two bedrooms, a large slate-tiled foyer with built-in closets, laundry-utility room, and two walk-outs to the 30 x 10 deck. While the design allows for easy entertaining, equal thoughtfulness provides private sleeping quarters and lots of storage. The upper floor finds a loft area with water views, and a stunning primary master bedroom with en suite half-bath and a private balcony overlooking the open Atlantic Ocean.
Significant recent and new upgrades include drilled well, septic tank and field pump, shower unit, roll-down door and window blinds, washer / dryer, deck glass, windows and doors, complete water filtration system (includes coarse filter, carbon filter, softener, UV light, finishing filter and RO filter). The exterior was also painted in 2020. Furnishings are negotiable. The location is superb for a full-time residence, holiday getaway or turn-key vacation rental. You are about 5 minutes from downtown Liverpool or a short drive to about a dozen white sand beaches, golf and fine dining. Less than 2 hours to Halifax and international airport.
