Heaven on Heckman’s Island! Just one year old, this spectacular oceanfront home boasts 140 feet of gentle shoreline on Heckman’s Back Harbour, a sheltered paradise for canoeing and kayaking with easy access to the broader sailing waters of Mahone Bay. This beautifully designed home takes advantage of the tranquil waterfront setting with a one level plan that truly captures the waterviews from every angle.
Walk through the front door into an impressive Great Room with towering 22 feet cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace. Your eyes are drawn immediately to the far end of the room where large windows and French doors bring the outside in. The open Kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops with the centerpiece being its massive (10’ x 5’5”) single slab granite island, perfectly suited for a relaxed modern lifestyle of dining and entertaining.
Sleeping quarters are situated at opposite sides of the Great Room. A wonderful Master Suite occupies one wing of the house with a large sunny Bedroom with walkout to the verandah, a gorgeous Ensuite with granite dual sink vanity and walk-in shower with glass door, and a handy walk-in closet. Guests are treated to complete privacy on the other side of the house with two Bedrooms and a Full Bath separated from the main living area by a pair of French doors. The front Bedroom enjoys a waterview and walkout to the verandah. The back bedroom is a quiet sanctuary with dappled afternoon sunlight through the evergreens, a space that would also serve as a lovely office or den.
There’s potential for additional living space, above the garage. The finished 330 sq ft loft with waterview would be ideal as a Family Room, Studio, Den or Office.
The heated garage is attached by an enclosed breezeway which houses the laundry room and a utility room flaunting state of the art systems, including a multi-zoned hotwater radiant heating system that delivers comfortable in-floor warmth to every corner of the house.
The house is oriented towards the south west for wonderful afternoon sunlight, and incredible sunsets over the water and Silver Point. Enjoy your privacy, yet be part of the friendly and welcoming community of West Heckmans Island…a nice mix of cottages and year-round homes. Just a 10 minutes’ drive from the shops, restaurants and services of Lunenburg…and even closer by kayak! (seriously…have a look at the mapping on the “Get Directions” tab above).
Follow Blue Rocks Road out of Lunenburg towards Bluerocks and Stonehurst. 3km outside of town watch for Heckmans Island Road on your left. Follow Heckmans Island Rd 5.5km to where it turns into Hebb Point Rd and continue another 600m then veer left onto Striders Path. 400m on Striders Path then turn right onto Evergreen Lane. Driveway for civic #32 is on your right. Look for the Coastal Winds sign!
