Description

For You: a Log Home on some 28-acres of a Private Island Firebrand Island connects via boat launch to the private community of Paces Lake, just minutes from Musquodoboit Harbour on the Shore east of Halifax. The pristine Paces Lake is home to a handful of cottagers and permanent residents who cherish the value of a good Neighbourhood and sweet nature environment 'just outdoors' of Halifax! You can easily spend time hiking and exploring the nearby Musquodoboit Rail Trail, www.mta-ns.ca/the-trails, a series of interconnected hiking and biking trails, closed to motorized vehicles. You would enjoy the soft sand of nearby Provincial Beach Parks such as Lawrencetown, Porters Lake, Martinique, Clam Harbour + Taylor Head Beach Park. Typically and in-season, these Parks offer supervised swimming areas, surfing and kayak lessons. You will be surprised to find located on the mainland, across from Firebrand Island, that there are rock climbing sport opportunities: First Face and Main Face. You may already know, River Oaks Golf Course in Meagher's Grant offers an 18 hole and 9 hole course! This is a mere 15min car ride from Paces Lake. You will love the local grocery stores, bakeries & cafes and variety stores which are all within ~10+ min car drive - and - off course, there is ALWAYS fresh local seafood available. Please enjoy a meal of freshly caught fish, lobster, clams, mussels, and oysters. We are proud of our local fisher people whom you may find at the local docks to meet to chat with. Yes, fishing is still an active lifestyle here. Summing up the surroundings, the Hwy# 107 is reached within 10 car min, connecting to Dartmouth and Halifax. 'gate to gate', the Airport is also reached via Hwy357 through the Musquodoboit Valley in 40 car min. 'un-speed your life' and enjoy staycationing on your Firebrand Island: The 2 Bedroom 1.5 Bath Dow & Duggan Log Home is exquisite. There are so many thoughtful details such as the gorgeous en-suite Bathroom which is a must see and luxury. Yes, a Bathroom tells much about a Home. We all tend to judge a restaurant by its facilities, would you agree! The Kitchen's propane powered cook top island shows a 2 drawer-style under counter fridge. You would cook while you look out the picture window onto the Lake. While life inside the Log Home is comfortable, the real living is outside on the Island. Whether you are dining at the picnic table or relaxing on comfy wooden loungers on the wrap around deck; roasting marshmallows or cooking over the fire; or you are down at the dock canoeing; taking a dip in the delightfully warm, clear Lake water - you will enjoyed every single moment of your time at this 28 acre private lakeside wonder. There are no issues or inconveniences with being solar powered / off the grid. Toilets still flush and lights still shine! You will adore the wood stove in the open concept Living Room, there is nothing like it. The short trip across the Lake to the mainland boat launch is smooth and comfortable in your motor boat or kayak. On mainland, within this Paces Lake Community, there are several opportunities for you to purchase an additional 1.5 - 2 acre Building Lot with private road and deeded Lake access. This decision will also enable you to secure a spot for a boat house or garage for the winter months.
