122 Oxner Brook

Driving the .7 kms through the woods to this property sets the scene and pace. Tranquil beauty. Silence... except for the peepers and birds, and the wind at times. You can smell the pines and the sea air. The post and beam house is set on a cliff overlooking a salt marsh, Sperrry Cove, and the LaHave Islands with the back side of Crescent Beach on the horizon. Also located on this 3.3 acre property is a separate two-storey guest house / artist's studio, garage, greenhouse, and a truly amazing salt water heated swimming pool built into the existing rock face. You can enjoy the outdoors from one of thee decks and a screened-in sunroom. The house features high ceilings including cathedral ceilings upstairs, ash floors in the living and dining rooms, wrought iron railings, and wood from a house boat that broke up in a storm, owned by the original occupants. There is attention to detail in every room from a round stained glass window by Gary Grant to sinks from Mexico and one made down the road at Westcote Bell Pottery. There are trails through the woods that take you down to the salt marsh and water's edge or along the cliff edge from the studio or past the haskap and Saskatoon berries and pear trees. The greenhouse provides kale and arugula even through the winter months. The views from the kitchen, living room, and the built-in king size captain's bed in the master bedrooom are ever-changing and uplifting. In the morning you can see the sunrise through the upstairs bathroom and in the evening watch the sunset with a glass of wine from the deck. The reflection of the full moon on the still waters is inspirational. If you wish to relax around the pool or watch the osprey dive from the deck or take your canoe or kayak on a gentle paddle around the islands, it is all possible here. And, there are five beaches within an easy drive, not to mention the LaHave Bakery and its traditional Queen Elizabeth squares just five minutes away.
