BERRY BROOK … A PARADISE IN OPEN HALL, BONAVISTA BAY
Have you heard of the song, TICKLE COVE POND where Kit, the mare may have drowned hauling wood? Check out Alan Doyle’s version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SNScBpa4lc
Yes, well, this lovely paradise, Berry Brook, can be found along the route to Tickle Cove, Bonavista Bay, off Route 230 and has approximately 4 acres of natural and cultivated landscape to enhance your seaside enjoyment.
And Berry Brook, you ask? This amazing setting has both an abundance of berries and its own charming brook meandering through the property down to the sea! The berries are local wild blue and partridge berries, complemented by cultivated raspberries, blackcurrants and gooseberries. A fenced vegetable and herb garden close to the house will provide the cook with healthy flavours for the table.
Before entering the home, your eye will be captured by the extensive garden created by the owners with winding paths, slate stone walkways, stone patios and many herbaceous/perennial borders. Having a greenhouse on site is a bonus for extending the seasons with the more tender plants. The 150 varieties of Hosta, and brilliant dahlias, selected by the owner is a reflection of this special landscape.
On approach, you’ll find a sheltered patio wrapped with plantings to enjoy the dawn and refuge from western winds. Another patio overlooking the sea will enhance your viewing pleasure of sunsets, whales and dolphins playing, with bald eagles nesting on the cliff side beyond.
This beautifully built home has been well designed with an emphasis on being able to enjoy viewing the sea and shoreline from almost every room. The open concept Great Room with soaring ceilings and a Bell Island Stone, Heatilator, wood-burning Fireplace has a spacious Gourmet Kitchen, Dining and Living areas with an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean! All rich hard and softwoods reflect the glow from the outside on floor, ceiling, window and door trims. A beautiful seaside home!
The Master Suite with full bath and walk-in closet is in its own secluded wing and also exits to the ocean side deck.
The opposite end of the home has two more bedrooms (one could be an office), full bath and a very large screened in sunroom with spaces for lounging and dining. The screened room is ideally situated to view the sun as it sets spectacularly across Bonavista Bay.
Winter activites abound in this area, with downhill skiing nearby at White Hills, snow-shoeing and snow-mobiling along well used trails. Summertime has golfing at the nearby course called The View, kayaking, boating, whale-watching, trouting in nearby ponds and cod fishing during the season.
A Two-car garage for vehicles or sporting machines has been wired as an efficient workspace and can store an abundance of extra tools/toys in the peaked roof.
Another outbuilding is a combination greenhouse / wood shed and is conveniently adjacent to the house.
The grounds covering 4 acres along the coast contains a mixture of open low growth and forested areas where wildlife thrives. Boreal and seabirds, occasionally a moose may come to visit and frequent whale sightings nearby can provide thrilling entertainment.
This special property was built only six years ago and is priced at an incomparable $385,000.
