Spacious
Oceanfront Estate!
This
spacious West Coast Contemporary house has a magnificent south
east view looking out to the historic Bay of Isles named by
Sameul de Champlain.
Quoddy's
End oceanfront estate offers 400+ feet of private coastline
of West Newby Quoddy Bay. The property is a boaters' paradise
featuring a deep water launch site and a private deep water
mooring in front of the house. Complete with two secluded coves
there is opportunity for a variety of recreational activities
from canoeing / kayaking, swimming, fishing, to hiking and sunbathing.
The
house, studio and barn, along with the fresh water pond, are
situated at the end of the peninsula on the original property
of 6.6 acres. Overlooking the archipelago of dozens of small
islands, most of which are a part of a protected Wildlife Management
Area, one can kayak beneath a waterfall or fish for sea bass
while, at the same time, enjoying the sights of the playful
seals, puffins, razorbills, loons and the soaring bald eagles.
If
it is a taste of sea food you seek why not harvest clams from
your own beach, dive for scallops from a nearby reef, or walk
down to the fisherman's dock in the spring for a taste of the
freshest, sweetest lobster in the world.
From
every vantage point within the house, or outside on the large
wrap-around balcony, you will enjoy the year-round breathtaking
views. There are the spectacular sunrises for those 'early birds'
and the slow rising moon over the still waters of Quoddy Bay.
For the garden lovers there are wild lupines, rhododendrons,
roses, and raspberry and blueberry bushes with rare wild orchids
found in the woods.
The
main house, with over 4000 square feet of living space, has
been designed with attention to detail and elegance. With cedar
shakes the home naturally sits in perfect harmony with its surrounding
environment.
From
cathedral ceilings, very spacious living and dining areas, exquisite
use of pine, brick, ceramic tiling, and large full length windows
along the front of the house, this home invites the natural
beauty from outside in. The large double faced granite and brick
fireplace is but one example of the builder's vision of romance
and seclusion. Another touch of class and uniqueness is the
master suite, complete with companionway steps to a mezzanine/loft
that further leads to a finished attic studio complete with
a skylight and large windows offering spectacular elevated views.
Just
steps away from the house is an insulated 900+ square foot open
studio space, complete with power and telephone lines and a
Selkirk flue and modern convection wood stove. Behind the house
is a small antique barn with hand hewn beams and a small haymow.
Whether
you are into gardening, making jam from the wild berries, cutting
wild flowers for the breakfast table, swimming, kayaking, or
sailing, not to mention the fresh sea food, then this estate
is a must see. If escaping the quiet and seclusion of Quoddy
is what you are after then Taylor's Head provincial Park is
but 20 minutes away with miles of stunning trails and one of
the most beautiful beaches in the world.
If
it is company you are seeking, the Eastern Shore is home to
many interesting people both local and from away - writers,
potters, artists, photographers, and musicians - not to mention
the famous down home welcome and hospitality that Nova Scotians
themselves offer.
Located
just 10 minutes to all the amenities in the town of Sheet Harbour,
Quoddy's End is also 90 minutes from downtown Halifax along
the scenic Marine Drive - As well as 90 minutes to the Halifax
International Airport on inland Highway 224.
An
additional 25 acres with great oceanfront may be purchased as
well to create that estate with increased privacy.
