Upper Clyde River, NS B0T1W0 135 Whites Hill Road

Remote hunting lodge or secluded cabin, this 1100 square foot, custom built, log-house may be the answer! This distinctive property has the ambiance of nature preserve and quiet solitude and yet it is a mere, twenty minute drive into Shelburne town. Equipped with modern amenities including under-ground electrical, security system, telephone, FIBRE-OP and deep dug well, the building and the 3.14 acre property on which it sits is calling. Easily converted, it could be an excellent, off-grid setup too. Situated on a site, which was once an apple orchard, the cabin is surrounded by Acadian, old- growth, forest and century-old, dry stone walls. Adjacent and available as a separate real estate listing, is a one hundred and forty-one acre piece of sought-after, forested land. Hemlock Creek runs here. It is mostly dry with summer heat but in spring, it runs to a tributary of the Clyde River. Fifty-four thousand acres of crown land stretch out to the north/northwest. The cabin property is accessed by a lane. Hardwood trees canopy there and walled fieldstones mark the edges. Although seemingly private, this lane is public and therefore is serviced for snow-clearing and garbage pick-up by the municipality. Postal service is available in Shelburne town. A private, gravel drive fronts the cabin, then a series of locally-quarried, granite steps lead to a covered porch, open deck and small, screened room. Entering the open-concept, main room of the cabin, one is struck by a fieldstone fireplace, its custom, Jotul, wood-burning insert and rough, hewn mantle piece. Wooden, casement windows and skylights provide ample light. The living, dining and kitchen area has a cathedral ceiling supported by an interesting network of large, perfectly notched logs. The cabinetry is custom pine with granite counter top.The bathroom, utility room and main bedroom are on the main floor. A large loft reached by a log stairway is bright and airy; easily room for a second bedroom/office setup. (id:7434)
