Total Tranquility awaits! As you travel down the winding road, the daily grind fades with every mile. Nestled deep within Nova Scotia's storied canoe country, this completely turnkey cottage is a rare gem of total seclusion, where you can immediately enjoy a simpler, quieter way of life. This off-grid home sits on a private 3.7-acre peninsula with an impressive 866 feet of frontage on the Pleasant River. The property is fully self-sustaining, powered by a reliable, upgraded solar battery system and propane, with a backup generator for complete peace of mind. Inside and out, you'll find many thoughtful upgrades, including two new pressure-treated decks, and modern appliances, all blending seamlessly with the rustic charm of a cozy wood stove to create a space that is as comfortable as it is nostalgic. Adventure begins at your shoreline, launching a kayak directly off your floating dock where it feels like your own private lake yet the gentle current continues down Pleasant River all the way to Molega. Or step onto the South Shore Annapolis Trail right from Gilmore Road to explore miles of scenic woodlands by hiking, biking, ATV, cross-country ski or snowmobile. Located under 30 minutes from the town of Bridgewater and roughly 90 minutes from Halifax. Connectivity is on your terms, use the current cell service or introduce a satellite provider. The outdoors are calling! Whether you are unplugging with family or creating a zen retreat for artists or outdoor enthusiasts ... Just light the fire, gather and let the quiet of the river become your new daily rhythm.
