This is a rare opportunity to own a rustic three-season A-frame cottage paired with a nearby private island in Mitchell Bay near Ecum Secum. Set along the shore on the mainland, the cottage is full of character designed with a one loft bedroom / one half bath as well as an addition that offers a one bedroom and 3 pieces bathroom. Intended for seasonal use, the property is being sold as is, offering a peaceful coastal retreat with potential for future possibilities. Hartlings Island, accessible by boat, spans approximately 25.4 acres and features a diverse natural landscape of meadows, forests, wetlands, rocky shoreline, and a small beach. The island has 2 small cabins for short seasonal stay and small dug well. A mix of coniferous, hardwood trees such as birch, ash, maple, and alder. Wild berries, ferns, and wildflowers grow throughout, with local wildlife including bald eagles and seals that enhance the island’s natural charm. Approximately eight kilometers of trails wind across the island, ideal for hiking and quiet exploration. The calm, protected waters of Mitchell Bay are well suited for swimming, diving, and other water activities. Conveniently located, the property is just ten minutes from the village of Moser River, about 30 minutes from Sheet Harbour and Sherbrooke, and approximately two hours from Halifax and its international airport — a setting that invites you to unplug, explore the shoreline and trails, and reconnect with nature at your own pace. Please Note that the Island is also available for purchase separately, have your preferred agent inquire about the listing price.
