Description

Discover the space, beauty, and quietly pulsing potential of this exceptional 259 acre coastal estate in East Ferry—an expansive haven where ocean, forest, and field meet in a way that feels both grounding and full of promise. With ~120 feet of Bay of Fundy frontage, this property offers a rare chance to shape a homestead, hobby farm, or private retreat on a land alive with possibility. The 4 bedroom, 2 bath home provides generous room for family and guests. The main floor includes a large eat in kitchen, bright living room, half bath, den, dining room, and office. Upstairs, a full 4 piece bath and 3 comfortable bedrooms complete the home. A new roof—installed last year—adds long term peace of mind. Step outside and the landscape takes over. Wander your own network of private forest trails through mixed woodland and a beautiful patch of old maple. Explore open areas perfect for gardens, pastures, hay fields, or an equestrian setup—with ample room for turnout, grazing, and miles of natural riding terrain. From the hilltop, enjoy sweeping sea and lake vistas shifting with the light and seasons. The property abounds in natural wealth: wild blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries; established highbush blueberries; productive rhubarb and asparagus beds; mature apple trees. Spruce stands offer sawmill potential, and the large well has proven exceptionally reliable through extreme drought. A beautiful pond adds serenity, wildlife habitat, and year round charm. Nearby, the oversized 27'x72' two story garage/barn provides outstanding versatility for equipment, storage, agricultural projects, or creative pursuits. The water-view attic offers an inspiring canvas for a loft style guest suite or studio. Whether your vision includes horses, farming, forestry, recreation, or simply a quieter life shaped by ocean air, migratory birdlife, and wide open land, this property offers a rare blend of beauty, privacy, and latent potential—ready to become whatever you imagine next.
