This sprawling shingle-style manor on Nova Scotia’s private Kaulbach Island has just hit the market, priced at $6.95 million CAD. The 57-acre island paradise, which comes complete with woods, meadows, and over a mile of shoreline, includes a meticulously constructed 11,000 square foot main house, a 600 square foot beach cottage, the island’s original 1,400 square foot farmhouse, boathouse, and many other outbuildings.
The main house, known as Osprey Nest, has a commanding presence overlooking the ocean and the groomed lawns. Constructed in 2002 using only the finest materials available, the home is offered fully furnished with exquisite window coverings and furnishings hand chosen for each room, the rich colors and furniture are only surpassed by the captivating views of the ocean. Today the private sanctuary is highlighted with colourful gardens and stonewalls waiting to welcome a new family to enjoy this one-of-a-kind retreat. Also included in the sale is a John Deer gator, golf cart, Boston whaler, and a sailboat!
Kaulbach Island is a short boat ride away from the mainland, and about 90 minutes to Halifax International Airport. The property has a market value of $9.5-million CAD, and is currently on the market for just $6.95-million CAD. This is an extremely rare chance to purchase one of Canada’s most prized private islands for a little less than the cost of a tear down in Vancouver.
