Charming off-grid cottage with loft bedroom, composting toilet and rainwater collection barrel. If rustic living is not the thing but quiet country coastal life is, a well could be drilled and power could be connected from Saddle Island Road where there are several year-round homes. Deeded access to a beautiful cobble beach where the tumbling sound of the rocks creates a magical and meditative backdrop. Beautiful Bayswater Beach Provincial Park is just a short stroll down the quiet Hwy 329 where cyclists come from far and wide to enjoy the most beautiful cycling loop imaginable. Kayaking, canoeing, and sailing opportunities abound here with public launch areas and sheltered coves nearby. Less than an hour from Halifax.
