Description
Imagine being able to moor your boat right in front of your property, swim from your private beach, and relax in a beautifully maintained mid-nineteenth century Cape Cod home with an incomparable westerly view of Lunenburg Harbour. This could be the last opportunity for a discerning buyer to hold title to an iconic Blue Rocks residence, and a substantial slice of Lunenburg history. Built to withstand the stormy, stark Atlantic climate, rescued in 1982 by the present owner, this circa 1850 house on a large 1.3 acre lot, stands out for its simple understated beauty and character. Available is a long list of upgrades made over the years to the roof, foundation, sills, septic system, wiring, plumbing, windows, and chimney. A drilled well was added in 1990. There is nothing to do here except move in and put on the tea kettle. The Herring Rock Road branches off from the Blue Rocks Road, just as you enter this storied hamlet, at a location featured in numerous photographs, paintings, and even quilt art. There is little vehicular traffic and lots of privacy. Directly across the road is the 7,170 sq. ft. waterfront lot with 240 feet of frontage encompassing the small beach and dramatic rocky bluff - just waiting for your "bunkie", studio or boathouse. Lunenburg is under ten minutes away, Halifax, just over an hour. This is truly the last of a breed. There are no more like it. Many furniture items and some folk art to remain.
