Property Description
Overlooking the waters of Mahone Bay to the rising sun, this settler's cape has stood for more than 200 years, nestled on a hillside below the Great Ridge. Owned by only three families since it was first built, this Georgian house was named "High Tree" after an ancient acacia that once stood at the edge of the knoll. Sailors used this tree as a marker to guide their schooners entering safe harbour. This home has always been well loved and cared for which is evident in the quiet presence it commands on the meandering, coastal highway between Mahone Bay and historic Lunenburg. One enters a sunroom at the rear of the house which leads to a cozy den - small hall with powder room and laundry to the left followed by an old-style country kitchen. The kitchen rests in its original position and still retains its original open dish cupboard and cooking hearth. The parlor and dining room at the front of the house are separated by a gracious front foyer with curving staircase. A new extension, just the other side of the kitchen, offers a large principal-bedroom suite with adjoining bath. This bedroom suite opens to its own covered verandah, a contemplative spot to enjoy the morning coffee as one rests one's eyes over the ocean. The second floor features a central hall with a Scottish dormer looking out to sea and three bedrooms in the eaves which share a bright and cheerful family bath. The larger of the three bedrooms runs from the front of the house to the rear and opens to an upper deck overlooking the rear garden. The house rests on a full, poured-concrete foundation and provides a well-lit workshop area and dry storage - exceptional for a home of this vintage. The house has been thoroughly and sympathetically renovated, sits surrounded by mature gardens and is comprised of more than 11 acres which run over the Great Ridge. The property offers broad views of the bay and is conveniently located just two minutes from town amenities. It has more than 200 feet of oceanfront. (id:24570)
