25-Acre Coastal Retreat: Modern Single-Level Home & Beach

Where forest meets sea, a private 25-acre oceanfront retreat awaits on Nova Scotia's scenic Eastern Shore. Tucked at the end of a winding drive, 400 Mailman Branch Road offers something rare — a thoughtfully designed modern coastal home, your own gentle sandy beach, and unspoiled Atlantic views. Built in 2013, this single-level home reads as crisp Scandinavian-inspired architecture set against the rugged maritime coast. Inside, an open-concept great room anchors the floor plan, with the kitchen, dining, and a generous living area flowing seamlessly around a central fireplace — perfect for foggy mornings and starlit nights. A Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliance package elevates the everyday. A bright primary suite with 3-piece ensuite enjoys its own quiet wing and tranquil views, while two secondary bedrooms and a second full bathroom make remote work, hosting guests, or family living effortless. A spacious laundry/mudroom keeps beach gear tidy, and the expansive oceanside deck invites barbeques, sunsets, and stargazing. Outside, 25 private acres roll from woodland to a cleared meadow to a sheltered cove where shorebirds wade and little ones safely splash in the gentle, sloping sandy bay. A detached garage provides ample secure storage for vehicles, kayaks, and seasonal gear. Despite the quiet, life ashore is close: just 15 minutes to historic Sherbrooke Village, one hour to the vibrant university town of Antigonish (home of St. FX), and 2.5 hours to Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Year-round home, four-season retreat, or short-term rental — opportunities here are wide open. Book your private showing today.
