Hwy 3 / 103 to Hillsdale Road. Right onto Mill Village Road East, right onto Medway River Road. Large lot on right, smaller waterfront lot on the left before civic # 1156. Sign posted. Historic charm meets natural beauty as 2 PIDs combine to create this very special offering of almost 7 acres in the South Shore community of Riversdale. The expansive 6.6-acre property, with Glodes Brook along one side, was once the site of a circa-1900 Cape Codstyle home (removed in 1998), with an old dug well and the footprint of the former homestead still visible. Behind the original home site lies a wooded hill, featuring mixed hardwood and softwood forest. An old collapsed earth cellar is tucked into the hillsidean authentic reminder of early settler life. One can re-imagine this property with a new build near the road with elevated panoramic river views, or a private woodland retreat on the hillside, with filtered views of both sunrises and sunsets if selectively cleared. The west-facing 8,349 sq. ft. waterfront parcel provides stunning sunsets and southern views for morning sunrises; a dual exposure rarely found on riverfront lots. The Medway River is one of Nova Scotias most scenic and historic waterways, known for its clean waters, historic salmon runs, and logging heritage. From the property, the river widens into bays and coves, often as still as a lake during the summer monthsperfect for canoeing, kayaking, or fishing. An easement provides access for a small parking and boat launch for Pine Island, which has only a seasonal cottage, keeping the area peaceful and quiet. Power and telephone utilities are readily available at roadside. The small hamlet of Riversdale offers tranquility, while nearby Mill Village provides a historic general store and café. The historic Town of Liverpool, Bridgewater and a half-dozen white sand beaches are all close by. About 90 minutes to Halifax & international airport. (id:27476)
