Property Description
A SECLUDED COASTAL RETREAT WITH INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL! Welcome to 1286 Elderkin Road in the charming community of Apple River—a serene 4.5-acre getaway where river sounds, fresh forest air, and salty ocean breezes create the ultimate East Coast escape. Just minutes from beautiful beaches and only 15 minutes from Cape Chignecto Provincial Park and the picturesque seaside village of Advocate Harbour, this property offers the perfect blend of relaxation, recreation, and opportunity. Designed for gathering and getaway living, the property features multiple buildings, making it ideal as a family compound, multi-generational retreat, or an exciting glamping or eco-tourism venture. The main cottage offers a welcoming layout with one bedroom, kitchen and bath area, spacious living and dining spaces, plus two decks perfectly positioned for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Additional accommodations include two charming cabins—one capable of sleeping 4 to 6 guests with loft potential, and another private retreat featuring a raised deck for enhanced views. A garage/workshop, powered shed, and Gulf Stream camper provide even more flexibility for guests, hobbies, or storage. With open space, natural beauty, and endless possibilities, the property is perfectly suited for future expansion with glamping domes, tiny homes, tent sites, or scenic walking trails. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, natural beauty, and development potential in such a sought-after coastal setting. Bring your vision and create the East Coast retreat you’ve always imagined.
