Tucked away on a private 2.66-acre lot, 172 Highway 347 in Aspen, Nova Scotia offers the quiet life so many are searching for. Custom-built in 2012 with exceptional craftsmanship every detail and system thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained this 1,732 sq ft riverfront home sits on 500 feet of frontage along the East Branch of the St. Mary's River. Designed for easy, one-level living, the airy main floor on a primary suite with roll-in shower perfect for retirees and anyone looking to age in place. A WETT-certified fireplace warms the living room, and the kitchen offers generous counter space, pull-out pot drawers, a large pantry, and a charming built-in Hoosier cabinet. Upstairs, a guest bedroom and full bath enjoy spectacular river views. Two screened porches are the heart of riverside living: savour morning coffee and the sunrise from the east porch, then unwind with a glass of wine and the sunset from the west. A private boardwalk leads to a peaceful sitting spot at the water's edge, where otters play and eagles soar. For the outdoors lover, this is a true basecamp. The St. Mary's River offers 32 km of paddling and world-class angling, with the St. Mary's River Association stocking Atlantic salmon and sea trout each year.
