"The thoughtful soul to solitude retires" to find serenity on Sherbrooke Lake, the most desirable lake in all Lunenburg County. This custom designed ICF, 2 bedroom home (plus den), close to 1,700 sq. ft. in size, is a well thought, contemporary design with a few touches of traditional, rustic charm, set on 1.3 acres with an exceptional 260 ft. of direct lake front. Beautiful landscaping beneath a canopy of mature trees leads through a pergola to the front foyer. One is greeted at the main entry with the primary, first level bedroom to the left (complete with ensuite and laundry) and further through the foyer, a large modern kitchen featuring large windows and offering a sweeping view of this arresting, natural, lakeside setting. Stepping into the generous dining and living room, featuring cathedral ceilings and skylights, one is immediately struck by the volume of space. Picture perfect windows beckon to a wrap-around porch - the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the good life. Through the outside kitchen door, a few steps from the house, is a relaxing sauna with a window onto the lake providing an ever changing show of nature while one relaxes. The private, second level offers a den, guest bedroom and a family bath. Approaching the lakeshore a large fire pit punctuates a commanding water view, and a wandering boardwalk through the trees takes one to a substantial wharf and dock for family swimming and boating. Thoughtful stewardship by the current owners is evident throughout this fine property from the well designed gardens to the sun-dappled, groomed forest. Take in the view of a family of Eagles soaring over the glistening waters of the lake. Located within 10 minutes to the amenities of a full time grocery store and gas station at Maders General Store. Only 30 to 40 minutes to Mahone Bay, the UNESCO Town of Lunenburg, or the heart of the Annapolis Valley. Just 90 minutes to Halifax or the Airport, and simply a breath away from paradise. (id:2493)
