Description

Visit REALTOR® website for additional information. Living in a small seaside town off the beaten path isn’t for everyone; no fast food restaurants or stressful traffic. We have a well-stocked town market, post office and gas station and really, what more do you need? Lockeport may be a bit of a drive off the 103, but once you arrive you will see what makes it extraordinary —ocean views in all directions and multiple beaches to choose from. It is a walking town with the Lockeport Loop being a popular choice. It’s not unusual to see people stopped along the path visiting with each other. It does feel like a step back to a simpler time.81 Brighton is something special. The open concept three bed, two bath home sits on half an acre of land with plenty of space on the pond side to make it feel like an oasis. The property includes two generous woodsheds, a bunkie with power run to it and a unique cordwood greenhouse for starting flowers or tomato plants.Each spring a pair of ducks arrives on the pond to raise a family With enough patience, the babies have been known to eat oats from our hands. Who needs the Nature channel when you can watch it from the dining room table or step out on the deck to watch the birdlife below. The perennial flower beds are great for getting your hands dirty and watching the beauty unfold. In late summer the yellow plum tree down by the bunkie provides a bounty of sweet fruit, enough to share with neighbors. Autumn is a good time to retreat to the bunkie, start a fire in the small woodstove and take in the vibrant colours around the ponds edge from the sliding glass window. It is the perfect place to read or write. The big beach is a quick five minute walk down the road if you want to clear your mind and watch the waves roll in. The music of the sea is a constant, it can be heard from the deck and sets the tone of life here. When the colder days of winter arrive, the wood stove in the living room throws off lovely heat.
