A rare opportunity overlooking the water of Mahone Bay ! This exceptionally large acreage, consisting of 61 acres close to amenities, with 122 feet on the old coastal highway between Mahone Bay and historic Lunenburg, has elevated sweeping views to the northeast and the sunrise over the ocean. The property consists of four lots, two of which run as adjacent parcels to the "Rails To Trails" to their southwest boundaries, with their total width as one rises up the hill - some distance before reaching The Great Ridge - being 449 feet. This broadest, combined strip of two parcels, 449 ft across, continues within two straight boundaries to where the property reaches a large plateau at the crest of the hill. From the plateau the parallel boundaries gradually descend into the valley before reaching the former coastal railway-line, today known as the "Rails To Trails" (with two, remaining smaller parcels being to the southwest on the other side of this trail). The property offers numerous prospective building sites, with beautiful ocean views, and numerous additional potential sites, upon the more gradual slope, to the southwest directed toward the setting sun and rolling forest. The plateau at the crest of the hill is sizeable. What was once a cabbage field when this was a working farm, is now a grove of tall pines. Access to the trail provides summer recreation for walkers or cyclists headed for town, both in the direction of Mahone Bay, a short distance away, or alternatively to historic Lunenburg. This property has been granted permission for a wharf along the reinforced shoreline across the road, making this acreage a prime candidate for development. With the town of Mahone Bay being just two minutes away and falling under the municipal tax rate of Mader's Cove, this property would be ideal as a single family estate or to create multiple, private, building lots within a natural setting - many having ocean views.
Exit 10 from Highway 103. Proceed direction Mahone Bay through town to Maders Cove. Property on right overlooking the bay.
