About this property

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, private cul-de-sac in Bellechene lies an extraordinary 12.79-acre waterfront sanctuary where majestic hardwood forests embrace the peaceful waters of a picturesque pond, and the splendor of nature unfolds in every direction. Here, the landscape reveals itself in breathtaking layers. Winding woodland trails lead beneath mature hardwoods, opening to expansive views across the shimmering pond, a secluded cove, distant pastures, rolling fields, forested horizons, and the ever-changing beauty of the open sky. With extensive shoreline, a gently flowing creek, and property boundaries extending into the shared pond itself, Lot 13 offers an uncommon connection to the water and surrounding countryside. There is a rare kind of tranquility here, revealed in the stillness of the water, the gentle movement of wildlife, and the quiet embrace of the forest. Wild turkeys, owls, hawks, ospreys, herons, kingfishers, Canadian geese, wood ducks, diving ducks, and other waterfowl have been observed throughout this remarkable landscape. And, if you listen carefully, the gentle chime of distant church bells may drift across the countryside, a comforting reminder of simpler times. Imagine an elegant country estate nestled among the trees, with expansive windows framing the water and distant countryside, peaceful gardens, and inviting outdoor spaces where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings unfold beneath a canopy of stars.
