923 Blanche Rd, Barrington, NS B0W 1E0

A unique, custom-built, seaside home surrounded by nature awaits you. This property has 1.2 km of bold oceanfront and 120 acres of undisturbed wilderness protected by NS Nature Trust Easement. Solitude, the sound of the surf, and constantly changing light provide an ideal way of life for those looking for a 'back to nature' home. Organic gardens, an enclosed wood shed with direct access to the stove in the main room, an outdoor shower, interior beach stone passive solar collectors, an automatic generator, and a heat pump are some of the features. The house is oriented towards the south for maximum heat gain and light. The interior plan is open concept, taking advantage of the heavily glazed southern exposure filling the house with natural light. There are 9' ceilings throughout. At the back door entry there is a mudroom and a workshop, which could easily be converted into a bedroom or studio. The living and dining room are the centre of the plan with the kitchen, pantry, and foyer in the western wing, and the bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom in the eastern. The open staircase design leads to the library on the second floor, which offers breathtaking views to the south, west, and east. The home is spacious, comfortable, economical to run, and surrounded by nature. What more could you ask for? 2023-07-21
