Picture this: your favorite drink in hand, gazing out over the North Atlantic and watching a whale breaking the surface or an iceberg drifting by offshore. This is life in this beautifully reimagined 1909 church set on nearly 3 acres, surrounded by Newfoundland coastline & Crown land, with sweeping panoramic vistas across two bays & the open ocean. Now a very private yr. round home thoughtfully converted into an eco conscious retreat w/ ocean views from almost every room. The building perfectly marries historic heritage w/ modern living. Furniture crafted from original rare antique NL Pine pews— including cafe tables, kitchen counters, love seats & even a bed. Original antique & vintage light fixtures glow thru-out. Skylights, transom & int. windows wash the rooms in daylight. Natural woods & finishes, repurposed materials & artifacts, composting toilets, Grey water system & outdoor shower rm w/ skylight roof emphasize its environmentally mindful design. Cedar shingle roof, 10’ ceilings, exposed beams, enhanced structure, & insulated for yr rnd use. 490 sq ft studio/workshop space, & separate apt. w/ private balcony overlooking both bays. Lighthouse tower w/remote control. 4 lighthouses visible from deck. A navigational landmark for mariners for over a century. Only known NL structure still cabled down like in “Shipping News”. Park like grounds w/ lot’s of well groomed walking trails through lush moss covered forests & wild berry patches to spectacular ocean lookouts, all on property. Wildlife abounds, where every day here is like living in a Nature Special. World class coastal hiking trails & secluded beaches, mins away. 20 mins to Twillingate, a popular int’l. tourist destination, 1.25 hrs to Gander Airport. Potential for subdividing for additional homesites, &/or cabins. Private retreat center, B&B, lodge, artist studio, gallery, &/or cafe awaits.
