PROPERTY INFORMATION

Twenty-nine Haywood Drive is a home or cottage you'd expect to find featured among the glossy pages of a fine homes and gardens magazine. In fact it is! Set along the water where the St. Nicholas and Richibucto rivers meet, the home and surrounding grounds are nothing short of breathtaking!

Tall trees line the driveway leading to the home and its accompanying three-bedroom, all-season guest cottage. At the end of the drive, the woods open up to reveal extraordinarily landscaped grounds with lush grass, mature trees and beautifully designed and lovingly tended garden beds filled with perennials of every colour and variety you could ever desire. There are garden paths, hand laid brick patios, and an inviting 40x20 heated in-ground pool with a charming pool house.

The five-years-new, 3200-square foot architecturally stunning home serves up gracious riverfront living. Relax in the great room while enjoying a view of the grounds and river through floor-to-ceiling windows. Whip up culinary delights in the functional and beautiful custom kitchen and entertain in elegance in the inviting dining room. Put your feet up and read a good book in the library or shoot a game of pool in the spacious second floor games room. You can even stay in shape in the daylight walk-out basement home gym.
