Blue Rocks Cottage

Description

This very private, cozy, cedar-sided bungalow is located in the Village of Blue Rocks, a lobster village on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. The only sound rolling up the hill is the sound of surf splashing on the rocks. The house sits at the top of a two-acre property abundant with white pine, spruce, lawns, blue berries bushes, apple trees and a stream runs through it. From all windows, watch the tall ships sail into Lunenburg harbour, or the waves crashing on The Ovens across the bay, lobster boats darting about Cross Island, or sailboats reaching out to sea. The wrap-around deck is equipped with patio furniture and BBQ. Sit in this sunny spot and watch the lobstermen down below on the Gut. The colourful little fish houses, known as “fish stores” are piled high with traps and lines. The lobster boats tied along the docks rock in the currents and pull at their lines. This house sleeps eight. There are two bedrooms on the main floor with 4-piece bath and queen beds. The living room has a double sofa bed. Downstairs is a knotty pine, hardwood-floored, studio/sitting room/bedroom with queen bed and ½ bath. An enclosed laundry room, sink, storage area and work bench, are also part of this downstairs area. On the main floor, the oak kitchen and dining area are open concept with views of bay, ocean, rolling lawns and spruce. There is warm woodwork throughout, pine wainscoting, hardwood floors, solid oak kitchen cabinets with baker’s shelves, oak-framed windows and pine mantel. Two wood burning stoves add to the comfort of this home.

Walking along the waterfront is a daily treat and the back lanes along coves and shorelines make every day an adventure.
