Among the towering trees, this property is also home to the locally acclaimed largest, oldest, and gnarliest yellow birch in Nova Scotia ? a living testament to the island?s timeless beauty. McNutts Island is steeped in history and natural wonder. Named after Colonel Alexander McNutt, a British army officer and land agent who settled the island in the 1760s, McNutts Island offers a unique blend of heritage and adventure. Explore scenic biking trails, roam through dense woodlands, and soak in breathtaking views along the dramatic shoreline. History echoes throughout the island. During WWII, Shelburne Harbour was chosen as an alternative naval port, and McNutts Island was fortified with two 10-inch M1888 guns to defend its waters, which remain there today. The Cape Roseway Lighthouse, once the heart of a small community with its own school and post office, still graces the southern tip of the island. While exploring the area, keep an eye out for names carved into the coastal rocks, left behind by soldiers and lighthouse keepers of generations past. Accessible only by boat, McNutts Island offers the ultimate in privacy and off-grid potential. Launch from the nearby mainland wharf and step into a world of untamed beauty, rich history, and endless possibility. Whether you dream of creating a private retreat, exploring development potential, or simply preserving a rare piece of Nova Scotia?s coastline, this property is a once-in-a-lifetime find. (id:47423)
