Sawmill Landing in Summer…

As the sun rises across the river the days first light finds you on your deck with a steaming cup of coffee. A wispy early morning mist hovers above the water. Along the far bank still in shadow you hear splashing as sea trout feed on an early summer fly hatch. 

You notice the shadow first before you see a magnificent, mature bald eagle flying slowly down the river, hunting for breakfast in the shallows. A mother duck corrals her ducklings and hurries them back into the protection of the river grass. This is pristine wilderness at its best.

It’s 9am and the Sherbrooke Village shops begin to bustle with activity. You walk down to your boat dock and watch the river flow. The tide is coming in. The sun has warmed the day so you decide to travel across and slightly up river to grocery shop. For the next hour or so the incoming tide will reverse the direction of the current making upstream navigation a breeze. You tie up at the Village wharf and stroll through Nova Scotia's largest museum.

The Sherbrooke Village museum site comprises approximately eighty buildings reflecting the way things were from 1850 until 1916. Twenty-five buildings have been meticulously restored and are open to the public. During the summer and early fall museum staff are dressed in period costume. You truly feel part of history as you walk about. Sherbrooke is a year round, vibrant community with all the amenities you’d expect. An excellent grocery store, drug store, liquor store, medical clinic, post office, hardware store and building supplies are all there; just a few minutes from your Sawmill Landing property.

Just before noon you finish your morning shopping. When you reach the town dock you note the tide is high. There’s virtually no current in the river. Your boat ride home will be a pleasant lake like cruise. The sun is high in a cloudless sky. It’s going to be a hot summer afternoon. After lunch on the deck you decide to make the most of the day and the receding tide. Just minutes away is a wonderful, secluded, sandy beach accessible only by boat. The tide is going out and the river's ocean bound flow makes for an easy trip. Less than 30 minutes after leaving the dock you and your guests pull the boat ashore on a beautiful, wilderness beach that you have all to yourselves.

Ownership of property at Sawmill Landing offers coastal living at its best...because here the ocean and the river converge to create a sheltered haven. You need not fear losing your waterfront land to erosion and your wharf structures to surge driven by ocean storms. Whether you're a yachtsman, a fisher or simply seeking peace and tranquility in a natural wilderness... in the middle of the western world, Sawmill Landing warrants serious consideration.
