A HIDDEN COASTAL ESCAPE WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES! Welcome to 1286 Elderkin Road in Apple River, Nova Scotia—a peaceful 4.5-acre retreat where the sounds of the river, the scent of the forest, and the nearby ocean breeze create the perfect East Coast getaway. Located just minutes from the beach and only 15 minutes to Cape Chignecto Provincial Park and the seaside community of Advocate Harbour, this property offers both relaxation and adventure. The property features several buildings, making it ideal as a family retreat, multi-generational vacation property, or a boutique glamping or eco-tourism destination. The main cottage offers a comfortable layout with one bedroom, kitchen and bath space, a generous living area, dining space, and two decks for enjoying sunrise coffee or sunset views. Two additional cabins provide extra accommodation—one sleeping 4 to 6 guests with loft potential, and the other a private riverside cabin with a raised deck overlooking the tranquil water. Also included are a garage/workshop, powered shed, and a Gulf Stream camper for additional guest space. With open land and natural surroundings, there is plenty of room to add glamping domes, tent sites, tiny homes, or walking trails to expand the experience. Properties like this—combining nature, privacy, and development potential—rarely come along. Bring your ideas and transform this beautiful setting into your very own East Coast retreat.
