Property Description
465 Mascarene
Offered at: $329,500 CDN
Five acres of wood land with more than 450 plus feet of ocean
frontage, this property offers stunning views of the Bay of
Fundy. From the hill top at water’s edge, there is easy
slope access to the sandy beach below. Sitting atop a craggy
outcrop over looking beautiful Passamaquoddy Bay, is the property’s
pretty, five year-old cottage, which is nestled amongst groomed
evergreens, beach stone walks and forest paths. While only a
fifteen minute drive from St. George, the private drive leading
into the cottage through old-growth forest and its resident
wild life, makes you feel like you are very far from the bustle
of life.
Mascarene Cottage and its grounds have been beautifully maintained;
beach stone paths neatly defined by cedar rails, window shutters
hung with precision, and the outside storage shed placed for
ease of access and aesthetic affect. The vinyl six over six
windows, the two outside doors and the screen door leading to
the spacious deck are like new and add to this already energy
efficient cottage.
As you enter the cottage from the driveway side, there is a
separate entryway/mud room. This room, which houses both the
appropriately placed and concealed electrical panel and hot
water heater, has a ceramic tiled floor for easy clean-up and
has space for outside clothing to hang. Through an inside door
you enter the main living space of the cottage; an open floor
plan allowing the living, dining rooms and kitchen to flow into
one another. All have stunning views of Passamaquoddy Bay.
The dining room and kitchen are made to feel even more spacious
by the tongue and groove pine cathedral ceiling. A unique wrought
iron double light fixture over the kitchen area, adds more drama
to this space. The natural Maple cupboards surround the built
in stove, fridge and microwave. There is also a dishwasher.
The cottage is fitted with a highly efficient wood pellet stove,
perfect for chilly Fall evenings or as supplementary heat in
the winter. The plank pine floors on this level, as well as
in the loft bedroom, are in perfect condition and have an unmarred
gloss finish. Under the open wood stairs leading to the loft
is bonus storage space. The full bath, also tiled in ceramic,
has a large vanity, tub and shower surround and linen storage
space.
The loft bedroom is spacious with a sitting area with its own
lighted dormer. There is extra storage under the eaves.
The covered 30' X 6' front deck is the cottage’s well
used “out door” room. Sitting on the deck, there
is nothing between you and the wide expanse of sea and sky.
Far in the distance, on the opposite side of Passamaquoddy Bay,
you can see Hardwood, Minister’s and Navy Island as well
St. Andrews. By fast boat, you can reach any of these sites
in less than 15 minutes.
This property is ideal for anyone wanting to build on the ocean
with easy access to a nearby town or the city of Saint John,
less than an hour away. The cottage, then becomes the ideal
guest quarters. Or, if you are looking to downsize and want
a oceanfront cottage that is ready to move into and needs very
little upkeep in the future.
