Description
It's truly peaceful here. It is easy to forget that Mahone Bay is only 5 minutes away, Lunenburg 10 minutes, and The Waldorf School, Chicory Blue General Store, and the French Bakery are within 3 minutes in Blockhouse. Surrounded by 32 acres of mixed forest and meadow, this 15 year old custom designed house was built around its primary heat source; the masonry core heater called a Kachelofen. This traditional European stove comfortably heats the 2000 sq. feet in all seasons and especially offers a warm embrace on cold winter nights. Solar panels with batteries and a generator provide the necessary power and while the house is completely off grid by choice the option to join the main line is available. Outside, there are gardens, a young orchard, a rustic sauna, a greenhouse, and a large pond who's resident ducks return each year as a rite of spring. An 800 sq. foot workshop allows for a variety of uses and has sustained a successful woodworking business. There is a small creek in the middle of the land, a new bridge to cross, and trails to wander in the woods. This home is truly an oasis of calm within easy driving distance of everything you might need.
