East Ironbound Island

Off the Aspotogan Peninsula, on Nova Scotia's treasured South Shore, East Ironbound Island over looks the bold Atlantic Ocean, with the Tancook Islands and Peggy's Cove as distant neighbours. The island has a cluster of private permanent and seasonal homes, along with a wharf and a road leading to one of the province's oldest lighthouses. The setting for this property is simply magical. From the wharf, the stroll along the grassy pathway past the fish stores, boat slips, outbuildings, continuing on by the barn towards the house, everything is reminiscent of a simpler time ... Ironbound, with its rich Maritime history, was once a small fishing community, and at one time this property was a small cattle farm. The property includes several parcels, totalling approx. 22 acres, a winch building, garage, fish store, hay barn, cattle barn, a newer equipment building, and a wonderful house, sheltered by mature trees, enjoying striking views of the ever changing Atlantic Ocean. The house has a spacious covered wrap-around veranda and an open design dining / kitchen / living room, with a welcoming wood burning fireplace, and timeless wood and tile floors. The warmth of the post and beam wood adds to the comfort of the home. A laundry, 3 piece bath and a surprise prep kitchen are just down the hall. All 3 bedrooms on the second floor face the ocean and open to the upper veranda. The primary bedroom includes a fireplace and built-ins. This could be your sanctuary, your family gathering place. A special place to step back and enjoy the refreshing salt air, the sounds of the waves on the rocks and commanding ocean views. A peaceful place for many, including artists, writers, gardeners, and others who appreciate the beauty of Island life. The property is accessed from a private wharf on the mainland in New Harbour near the seaside community of Blandford, on the Aspotogan Peninsula, which is included in this sale.
