Senior Writer

How great does an island that's all yours sound? This house for sale in Nova Scotia comes with its own private island and it's not as expensive as you might think it would be. There are so many more amazing features at this property.

Located in Sherbrooke, Nova Scotia, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom house is on the market.

It's 1,649 square feet and comes with so many amazing features both indoors and outdoors that the $524,900 price tag seems like a steal!

The house is right on the shores of Indian Harbour Lake and almost feels more like a resort with tons of amazing amenities than a home.

It's 10 minutes away from the rural community of Sherbrooke's services like a grocery store, a bank, a library, restaurants and a hospital.

Plus, it's only a couple of minutes away from the sandy beaches of Port Hilford right on edge of the Atlantic.

So you would have your pick of ways to spend the day in the water.

On the property, there's a foot bridge that connects to the private island and a tranquil, secluded spot.

Wild rhododendrons, beautiful and colourful flowers, bloom there each spring which is a great sight.

The house is also surrounded by a four-acre lot with fruit trees and flower beds with perennials that come back on their own each year.

You can even walk right into the lake from the path that comes down from the house.

Attached to the house is a triple car garage that has a vented cooking station that's perfect for seafood boils.
