Located on the picturesque Eastern Shore, Tidesreach offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Coast with direct waterfront access to Nova Scotia’s 100 Wild Islands. Embrace the outdoors in a region known for its rugged coastal scenery, pristine white sand beaches, and vast woodlands making it ideal for world class surfing, peaceful kayaking and boating, fresh and saltwater fishing and miles of hiking trails. It could be yours to enjoy as you sit at anchor on your boat directly in front of your house or launch your kayak from the front yard. Tidesreach's thoughtful design allows natural light to brighten this house at all times of the day and is apparent in the creative and comfortable flow from one room to another. The home features a large library overlooking the main floor and with views out to the sea. The spacious lower level hideaway has double doors to a private patio. The owners added whimsy to their home, with a window to watch the sea from your bath, a butler's pantry and a wine cellar to enjoy a good vintage, and a porthole in your front door. The orientation on the 6.6-acre waterfront lot was chosen with passive solar heating in mind and a view overlooking the 500 feet of direct oceanfront. The spectacular sea cottage on the shoreline was designed and built by the owner with his knowledge and love of the sea top of mind. A glass copula, jute trim, suspended wrought iron chandelier and a cozy wood stove, nestled into the rocky shoreline and privately tucked from the view of the main house, make this little piece of heaven spectacular.
