Historic Home with 445 Feet of Oceanfront

Privacy, charm, and protected deep water anchorage– the perfect place for sailors! Situated in the historic fishing village of Northwest Cove, there are 2 "fish stores" at the water's edge, 445 feet of expansive waterfront, and 3.45 acres of land. The home and property are a true representation of quintessential Nova Scotia, elevated from the shore and proudly looking out toward St. Margaret’s Bay. Since its construction in the mid-1800's, this home has only known 2 families. The critically acclaimed writer, Budge Wilson, called this her home in 1954, joining the other writers, artists, musicians and fishermen that have also created their legacy here. A winding paved driveway guides you to a secluded and open clearing with beautiful gardens. Inside, features can be discovered throughout the house which paint the story of this property's rich history: hemlock floors, wide plank pine walls, a gorgeous brick fireplace, lovely built-ins, and peg holes in the window sills for the fisherman to mend nets, are all on display. Over the years the home has had many improvements and additions. There is a bright breezeway connecting the main house to a large family room with a picture window that frames the colourful fish stores, the cove, and the distant ocean views beyond. At the water's edge there are 2 "fish stores" that are lovingly referred to as the "Old Store" and the "New Store’" These historical landmarks are adjoined by a large deck. Both can accommodate overflow seasonal guests. The Little Store enjoys power and running hot & cold water. Just 15 minutes to Hubbards and 55 minutes to Halifax. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a slice of Nova Scotia's iconic South Shore!
