Escape to the great outdoors with this stunning lakefront cottage property full of nature and wildlife located at 578 Second Brook Road. Nestled on just over an acre of land, mostly woodland, 43 feet of waterfrontage with a dock and beach area on the popular Vaughans Lake in Western Shore. This carefully crafted cottage features two bedrooms, a powder room with a portable toilet, concept kitchen and family room, as well as a large loft area above the bedrooms. There is no power, but there is an electrical panel with generator hookup for on-demand hot water, lighting and outlets. This property is off-grid and far back in the woods. The likelihood of hooking up power through NS Power would be unlikely. Solar could be an option for those looking for an option other than a generator. There is also a propane hookup for the cooktop part of the stove. There is a dug well for water. A large, covered front and side deck complement the exterior use of the cottage. The cottage is very well insulated throughout. You’ll feel nice and cozy while reading or playing cards with the woodstove going in the evening and colder months. There is an abundance of nature lighting, and views of the lake from practically every window in your new cottage. Enjoy swimming, boating, fishing or skating on the lake, as well as hiking and hunting on your own land. All of this is located only an hour from Halifax at the end of a wood’s road, makes this the perfect peaceful retreat. Road condition can be rough in some spots. Schedule a showing today!
