340 Long Cove Rd, Port Medway

L&S #1261. Prepare to fall in love..... Situated in a picturesque coastal village on Nova Scotia's treasured South Shore, this captivating postcard-perfect cape commands a peaceful parklike 20 acre setting with mixed forest, stone walls, sparkling ocean views and its very own sand beach. Framed by majestic chestnut trees which shelter as well as soften the light, this year round home has been beautifully & thoughtfully restored inside and out. Features include wide plank floors, exposed ceiling beams, six over six windows, wood stove, bedrooms and bathrooms on both floors, and in the "ell", a large eat-in kitchen and the equally large "back room" with oversized windows and garden doors beckoning to an inviting outdoor screened room to savour those late fall evenings. Outbuildings include a wired garage with workshop area and two studios, both wired, one insulated and heated - ideal for a variety of endeavours. The grounds are private and nicely landscaped with apple trees, meandering paths weaving through the forest, flower and herb gardens and, of course, a well used trail across your oceanfront lot to the sand beach and kayak launch. Steeped in history, Port Medway is a vibrant, friendly and walkable year round community and home to many artists and craftspeople, a post office, wharf (think lobster), Seely Hall, The Lighthouse Park, Old Meeting House and Old Port Medway Cemetery (both provincial heritage sites), Medway Head Lighthouse and immensely popular Seaport Gifts. There?s an annual Readers Festival, historical events, arts & crafts shows - lots to explore and plenty to keep you entertained. Its a few minutes drive or a leisurely bike ride to white sand beaches at Eagle Head and Beach Meadows. Hospital, shops, services, theater and more are within a 15 minute drive in nearby Liverpool. Ninety minutes to Halifax. (id:1945)
