Wooded Waterfront Cottage On The Saint John River

A long, wooded driveway glides between the cedars of this year-round riverside property, fostering a sense of remoteness all the way down to a humble cottage that hovers over 150' of the Saint John River shoreline. Charming with its classic cedar shake siding, pine walls and floors, this dwelling holds a homey comfort that can only be found in the coziest of spaces. Inside its main area is a wood stove backed by a stone wall and exposed wood beam that magnifies the elevated ceiling height. Through every window in this room, there are abundant views of the river that is known to be frequented by swimmers, kayakers and water skiers as well as snowshoers, snowmobilers, cross country skiers and ice-fishers. Moore a boat here as the water depth is plentiful and take an afternoon to bask on-board in the warmth of July. Top it with a sunset view around a beach bonfire or from the comfort of the cottage. Two large bedrooms leave ample room for bunk bed visitors and a side deck accommodates midsummer lounging and barbecue-cooked meals. 1.9 acres make up this land that is protected, private and includes a circular driveway. This home appeals to all senses with the aroma of its earthy pine structure, sights of the river, swaying trees and sounds of chickadees chirping over the rippling water. Less than a 10-minute drive to the local corner market, a winery and two apple orchards, this property holds a standard of old-school notion to accessible waterside living, all months of the year.
