Property Description
Discover your private island paradise on Rous Island, a stunning 53.64-acre retreat steeped in history and natural beauty. This unique property was once the cherished homestead of Lloyd Heisler, the world-renowned International Double Dory Racing champion, who was honored with an induction into the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame in 1982. Heisler called this island home year-round until 1995, and now, it could be your own slice of Nova Scotia heritage. With approximately 1,608 feet of direct oceanfront, the island features both a sandy beach on the northwest and a rocky beach on the southeast, providing diverse and picturesque shoreline experiences. The northwest side is particularly noteworthy, offering a sheltered, year-round landing site with potential for rebuilding a wharf. The island's charming 1.5-storey house, complete with a dug well, boasts original features that evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm. Imagine cozy evenings by the original fireplace in the kitchen, or preparing meals on the vintage Peacock wood cookstove. These timeless details present a unique opportunity for preservation or thoughtful renovation. Rous Island is a haven for wildlife, including deer, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers. The panoramic ocean views are simply breathtaking, encompassing Mahone Bay and its surrounding islands, Mader's Cove, Indian Point, Big Tancook, Second Peninsula, most of Chester Bay, and the majestic Aspotogan Mountain. These waters are among the deepest and best for boating, promising endless nautical adventures. And the sunsets? They?re nothing short of spectacular, painting the sky in hues that will leave you in awe night after night. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Nova Scotia's storied past while creating your own future on this extraordinary island. (id:24570)
