From the Agent: "Hitting the market is an oceanfront gem designed by a team of architects & engineers for optimum energy efficiency. Set south-facing on Tatamagouche Bay and the Northumberland Strait (an area known for the ‘warmest waters north of the Carolinas’) the sustainable two-story home offers walls of energy-efficient, fiberglass windows, which allow plenty of natural light and phenomenal views. Other notable attributes include: net-zero, passive-solar design, post-and-beam construction, a STUV wood stove, and BOSCH appliances. Outside you’ll also find a darling 99-square-foot, insulated bunkhouse that has electricity."

A long gravel driveway leads to the two-level home, which sits nestled away from the road on a spacious coastal lot, surrounded by soaring trees and a meadow-like yard.
