A breathtaking eight hundred foot beach greets you as you land on Round Island. The eighty-one acre private sanctuary features mini mountain ranges, streams fed from fresh water springs and cliffs on the southern side. There are panoramic open ocean views looking south, between big and little Rafuse, Masons, Young, and Bella islands. The Tancook islands and Blandford frame the picture to the east and Second Peninsula to the west. A perfectly positioned and private location in the heart of Mahone Bay, Round Island is surrounded by crystal clear water, and the echoes of waves rolling up on the sand.

The points of shoreline, underwater sand bars and elevated cliff views make this island a gem. A morning walk around the perimeter is a comfortable forty minute/2.2 KM stroll. The even width of the beachfront makes beachcombing a very relaxing experience. Clean, crystal clear ocean waters are the perfect ingredients for snorkeling adventures in search of sea life. Inland, the sound of the waves are diminished to peaceful serenity. You may find yourself walking beneath cathedral tree tops and soft moss beds of the untouched natural ecosystem.

Following the formula of neighbouring Kaulbach Island, a possible site plan would boast a boat house and wharf on one side of the beach, main house on top, and a guest house on the southern edge. Add some paths and golf carts for ease of travel. Choose an off the grid solar power system, quiet generator or run a power line from the closest island. There is an existing well from the Winter family homestead, as well as a foundation. The island was a nineteenth century working farm, so the soil is well fertilized!

The Mahone Bay Nature Conservancy has eighteen nearby neighbouring islands including Bella, Masons, Bachman, Squid and Coveys, all with public access. It is an incredible opportunity to explore. The closest island, Round Island Nubble, half a KM to the north east would make an easy and safe afternoon kayak adventure. Mainland at Martin’s Point is only 1.5 KM away. Indian Point’s public wharf is 4.5 KM and Oak Island Marina is 5.5 KM to gas up the motor boat. For the ultimate sailing mecca, Chester Yacht Club is 6.5 KM. Everything is closer by water!

Imagine waking with a brilliant sunrise view overlooking the open ocean, hiking the island trails, swimming off the beach and then dining by sunset. Or perhaps venture to nearby civilization, as you are surrounded by the towns of Mahone Bay, Lunenburg and Chester.
