Spectacle Island

Description

The silence...just the sound of the terns and gulls, the waves rolling up on the long sandy beach. Waking at sunrise, dining by sunset, filling the days in between wandering the island trails, picnicing on the treed, elevated ends of the island, snorkelling and swimming off the float, kayaking the many surrounding islands that are providing their shelter. Or maybe you prefer to lounge on the 60'x60' deck, surrounded by ocean views, sun and sea air, neighbouring boats sailing past to keep you company. Feel your shoulders relax and your breath deepen. This is life on Spectacle Island, a 9.88 acre island, just a short boat ride from Indian Point in Mahone Bay, surrounded by the towns of Mahone Bay, Lunenburg and Chester, with all that they have to offer. A colourful cluster of cabins, each with a purpose, designed to resemble the classic "fish Stores" common many years ago are just 8 years old. The main building or "Lodge" offers a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area for entertaining, living room with fireplace and sleeping area. Two sleeping cabins, both with fireplaces and a storage cabin with washroom, outdoor shower, washer and dryer provide all the amenities and just under 1400 square feet of living space in total. There are two dug wells, one at each end of the island, with one in use and eight 100lb. propane tanks providing fuel for the water heater, washer/dryer, oven, refrigerator, gas fireplaces and barbecue. The silent run generator located behind the utility house is the power source for the lights, espresso machine and recharging all of your devices. Cell service from the mainland is readily accessible and allows for working from home and video conferencing should you require or desire. Enjoy some of the best sailing on the Eastern Seaboard right on your doorstep. Spectacle Island offers the very best blend of civilization and nature. Not so much a destination, but a returning.
