Looking for that rare combination of a secluded seaside setting paired with easy access to amenities? That’s a pretty hard find on the south shore without going to 7 digits. However, here you can have it at a far more attractive price!
Welcome to Heckman’s Island!...where you’re a mere 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of popular Lunenburg. That’s right, your tranquil seaside hideaway is just an 8km drive into town…it’s actually closer by water -- less than a 4km paddle brings you from your home to the Sawpit Park & Wharf on Lunenburg’s Back Harbour!
Your Heckmans Hideway comes with an open plan main living area, which extends to the outdoors through a pair of patio doors opening to an expansive deck overlooking a little cove. This impressive space features natural wood beams spanning the Great Room with a soaring cathedral ceiling above. A 2nd level loft looks over the main living area and provides an ideal place for home office, studio, or den. A south facing aspect ensures the home is filled with brilliant natural light and provides passive solar heat in the cooler months, and a toasty woodstove keeps this voluminous space cozy come winter. Enjoy main level living with the Master suite on ground level. For family or guests, there are two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the lower level. The lower quarters also include a good sized family room and its own access giving it excellent potential as a self-contained Airbnb unit.
Whether you call this your year-round home, or it’s simply an escape from the city…you’ll enjoy relaxing on the sunny deck and soaking up the peaceful setting. For the nature enthusiast, at low tide, the little cove empties out leaving herons to feed in the seagrass. If you’re a paddler, the location on a sheltered tidal inlet is a dream come true. The intricate waterways, inlets and small coves of Heckman’s Island, Back Passage, and Tanners Pass, out to Stonehurst, Blue Rocks, the Eastern Points Islands and the open Atlantic, provide some of Nova Scotia’s most interesting waters for kayakers and canoers to explore (download the satellite image of Heckmans Island Waterways below). Amidst it all, sits 1045 Heckmans Island Rd, with close to 470 feet of direct shorefrontage for launching your aquatic adventures.
FROM LUNENBURG: Follow the Blue Rocks Rd out of Lunenburg and turn left onto Heckmans Island Rd. Continue 5.1 km to driveway for #1045 on your left. Look for the Red Door Realty sign!
