683 Sandy Point Road
Shelburne, Nova Scotia

Sunsets over Shelburne Harbour


 ***NEW PRICE***


$224,900

If a little bit of country and a whole lot of privacy is something you are partial to then this property on Sandy Point road will deliver. Nestled on a hill overlooking Shelburne Harbour, this house, the outbuildings and the 41 acres that surround it invites your imagination and an almost endless list of possibilities. Experience country living only minutes from the beautiful town of Shelburne , Nova Scotia .

The house is a two bedroom seventeen year old still very much in its prime. The house is open concept and includes a kitchen, living room/dining area, bedroom and a three piece bathroom on the main level with a very large second bedroom located in the loft area of the house. Heating is provided by woodstove and electric baseboards. The full basement is undeveloped and awaits your finishing touches. Outside at the front of the house is a full width covered porch that looks out at the park like grounds and lovely Shelburne Harbour.

Within easy access of the house is a full sized garage. The garage is wired, fully insulated and gyprocked with its own great woodstove. The garage is presently being used as an artist's studio but would satisfy the whims of any hobbyist. The other two outbuildings close to the house include a wood/storage shed and a large drive shed with an attached addition big enough to accommodate a sailboat. 

The balance of property behind the house is forested comprising mostly of maple and softwoods. There is a partial road already cut into a portion of the backwoods connecting at a point with ATV trails. There is a more than adequate supply of firewood available on the property to satisfy your heating needs.

The beautiful historic town of Shelburne is only minutes from the property with its own hospital, shopping and entertainment. Shelburne Harbour is one of the three deepest natural harbours in the world and attracts sailing enthusiasts. Supporting its sailors is the Shelburne Harbour Yacht Club and adjoining the club is the Osprey Arts Centre, a venue for the performing and visual arts.
