"PRIVATE, DEEP WATER ANCHORAGE" _______________________________________
....on a rare point on Nova Scotiaâs largest sweet-water body, âShubenacadie Grand-Lakeâ for unparalled PRIVACY. PRIME LAKE FRONT propertyâs 687-ft +/- shoreline is the longest of any property on the lake, and fringed by indigenous, decades-old Hemlock, White Pine, Oak and Maples lending unique character to this nature spot .
Thoughtful professional landscaping ON LEVEL PROPERTY enhances the setting with Red Maples, Linden and fruit trees around the residence and outbuildings for that 3-dimensional depth impression. Your PRIVATE âShangrilaâ to enjoy among a well established neighbourhood.
A custom 8x37-ft. dock with B.C. Red Cedar planks can be rolled into the lake in June and retrieved within 30 minutes up the slipway after Labour Day. It is a place for private contemplation, fishing small bass, as it is for lively family fun. DEEP-WATER ANCHORAGE allows the launch of 22-ft sailing yachts of which there are some 20 on the lake. A private Yacht-Club organizes regatta races among the most competitive of its members as well as social affairs. The barn can accommodate up to a 26-ft. boat, a wood shop and 2nd story storage with a total of 1080-sqft while the finished, detached garage measures 25x30-ft or 750-sqft..

Built during 1999 not only special emphasis had been placed on architectural design to harmonious balance with existing topography and surroundings, but also on "MAXIMUM ENERGY EFFICIENCY". Other measures included underground electrical feeds to outside lighting and out-buildings, 6000-psi industrial concrete slab foundation with frost walls extending to terrace and approach outside perimeters. Real 1st-grade plywood, not flake-board; Aluminium vapour-barrier, not 6-mill plastic; Fibre-Rock internal wall-sheeting, no plaster-board.; `HardiPlank` Cement board siding, not vinyl; Premium Turn/Tilt `PolyTech` windows, the best in North-America; and an Aluminium shingled roof system over bituminous asphalt paper and breathing membrane offering a transferable warranty to the next owner for 50 years. Among solid inside doors, flooring, mouldings, fixtures and many other details quality seemed appropriate for a prime âGRAND-LAKEâ FRONT. Attached 2-car garage (ref. floorplan).
