125 Five Houses Rd, Lunenburg, NS B0J 2W0

FIVE HOUSES...WORLDS AWAY! -- Welcome to Five Houses! We probably won't do this idyllic setting justice, but we'll give it a shot! ... Imagine a quiet historic enclave on a dead-end country road with the sand bar of Oxner's Beach & stunning views of the mouth of the Lahave River at your doorstep. The sheltered sandy shoreline & lagoon-like ocean frontage should conjure up nostalgic summers at the beach, building sandcastles and swimming in warm salt water. This appealing property includes 2 parcels, the house lot with its charming old cape house & outbuilding and an oceanfront lot where you'll find the rustic bunkie with expansive beachside deck...the launch pad to all your seaside endeavours. For nearly 30 years this much-loved home has served as the favourite summer gathering spot for 3 generations of the same family. From the cheerful colour palate of the painted softwood floors, exposed chimney & hand-hewn beams, to the original winding staircase, character abounds. The large main floor principal rooms provide plenty of spreading out space and upstairs, 3 dormers were added to provide extra space & natural light so this old cape doesn't feel dark or cramped at all. Outside, a pergola on the east side of the house provides a shady oasis for enjoying this serene setting with your morning coffee. With 4 bedrooms & 2 full baths, there's room for the whole family, or guests, to come share the magic of this special beachside location. Secluded, but not remote, this hidden location is less than 20 mins from amenity-rich Lunenburg with the charming Rose Bay General Store & Bistro a mere 5 minute's away for necessities like ice cream, locally made snacks, wine & beer. Just an hour & 20 minutes out of downtown Halifax, this is the ideal weekend getaway for city dwellers looking for an escape from the hustle & bustle of the urban jungle. That's right...80 minutes, but Worlds Away!
