I have listed a new property at 259 Big Tancook Island Road in Big Tancook Island. See details here
Let the island's peace, tranquility and laid back lifestyle take you away from the busy world we live in. Big Tancook is the largest of the 350 islands that dot the waters of Mahone Bay. Approx. 150 year round residents that call the island home with a mixture of seasonal residents that the island calls to visit every year. A 50 min scenic ferry ride from Chester is easily passed with sights of smaller islands, grand homes along Chester's waterfront, sea birds and the occasional porpoise. Once on the island you can feel the calm and the slower pace. The Main road takes you to both ends of the island, and this home is tucked back along Southeast Cove. Renovated basically top to bottom in the past 4 yrs, this bungalow not only has ocean views but its own beach front at the end of Southeast Cove Beach. Don't want to leave the yard to see the ocean? Relax in the hot tub off the primary bedroom with ocean views. Offering 3 beds, 2 baths on the main level and a 4th bedroom in the basement, it is perfect for the whole family. The backyard offers enough space for a few chickens (the coup is already there) or could easily be used for something else, with a separate building that is a workshop. The home is heated with a ductless heat pump, has baseboard heat, and a wood stove should you prefer the coziness. With the electric upgrade, a generator panel was installed and the prep was done to allow for solar heat should you choose. Internet is either TNC unlimited wireless or Starlink, both offer great internet service for the island. Second lot is being surveyed as the current mapping is incorrect and once completed the total will be approx. 2.99 acres. Totally upgraded, beach front and island life. Perfect for a summer vacation spot, as an Airbnb, or year round living. What are you waiting for!?
