The Community
A place to live simply and simply live! If this appeals, you will be captivated by this beautiful shingle-style, English cottage dramatically set on a high point overlooking Lunenburg Bay and the open Atlantic Ocean. The property is located on Corkums Island in a very quiet, crime-free neighbourhood. The community is a friendly mix of families who have lived in the area for years as well as new-comers from Canada, United States and Europe. Corkums Island is connected to the mainland by a causeway and is only a five kilometre drive to downtown Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Town of Lunenburg offers visitors many architectural delights. Houses, businesses, churches and public buildings from the late 1700s and particularly early 1800s are still being used today. Tourism is now Lunenburg's most important industry and many thousands visit the town each year. A number of restaurants, inns, hotels and shops exist to service the tourist trade and local population. Numerous artists operate their own galleries. The town is home to the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic and the schooner Bluenose II. A brand new school, Bluenose Academy serving children from grade primary to grade nine, is scheduled to open January 2012. Several popular sandy beaches are close by and the city of Halifax is a one hour drive.
The Exterior
Built in 2006, you have the beauty and convenience of new and the charm of yesteryear. The property boasts 240 plus feet of direct ocean frontage with an adjacent sand/pebble beach. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf, watch the full moon rise over Blue Rocks, and enjoy the Bluenose II schooner sail in and out of the town of Lunenburg while sipping a cup of tea or enjoying lunch on the spacious glass-railed deck. The exterior is cedar shingles, aged to a beautiful silver grey, cultured river rock foundation & chimney, architectural roof shingles and maintenance free solid vinyl windows and trim. The wide, tumbled stone front steps lead to an arched porch framed by large white columns. The one acre, beautifully landscaped grounds featuring mature maple and pine trees; many shrubs; and herb, perennial and vegetable gardens add to the picturesque setting. Wonderful opportunities to enjoy wildlife including eagles, Osprey, terns, seals, wide assortment of ducks, deer, pheasants, and a variety of perching birds including indigo bunting, purple finch, goldfinch, chickadee, red poll, rose-breasted grosbeak, etc. Be sure to have several pairs of binoculars.
