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, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom riverfront home — with 500 feet of frontage on the East Branch of the St. Mary's River — is ready to welcome its next chapter. Designed for easy, one-level living, the main-floor primary suite with roll-in shower makes this a perfect fit 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. A second-floor guest bedroom and full bath give visiting family and friends their own space. 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 is one of Nova Scotia's treasured waterways — 32 km of paddling and world-class angling at your fingertips. Fish, paddle, and explore woodland trails right from your backyard. The oversized 26' x 32' detached garage with finished loft is ideal for gear, a workshop, a studio, or a future guest suite. You're wonderfully private here, yet just 30 minutes from Antigonish, St. F.X. University, restaurants, shopping, and healthcare. If you're moving to Nova Scotia for a calmer, more connected way of life, this move-in-ready home (furnishings included) is waiting. Book your private showing today.
