Property Description
115 John Joe’s Lane – Oceanfront Cottage Retreat! Welcome to 115 John Joe’s Lane, a rare opportunity to own approximately 3 acres of oceanfront property with an unobstructed view of the Northumberland Strait and your own private beach. Cherished by the same family for generations, this seasonal cottage has been the backdrop for countless family gatherings, summer vacations, and lifelong memories. Set in a peaceful seaside location, you’ll wake each morning to spectacular sunrises over the water while watching lobster boats head out to sea, sailboats glide across the horizon, and, on occasion, whales pass through the Strait. The bungalow-style cottage is designed for simple summer living. Inside, you’ll find an open-concept living area with a makeshift kitchen, a toilet facility, and four partitioned rooms that have comfortably accommodated family and guests over the years. The cottage is not insulated and is situated on posts, making it ideal for seasonal use. What truly sets this property apart is the setting. With 3 acres of land, stunning ocean views, and direct access to your own private stretch of shoreline, the possibilities are endless. Whether you choose to enjoy the cottage as it stands, renovate and modernize it, or explore future development opportunities, this property offers exceptional potential. Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. If you’ve been dreaming of owning oceanfront property where you can create your own family memories and enjoy the beauty of Nova Scotia’s coastline, this is one that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Please be careful when walking close to the cliff area as its deteriorating close to the waters edge.
