Oven Head Island

Impressive Coastal Estate with Extensive Waterfront

Set in a remarkable coastal location in southern New Brunswick, this substantial waterfront estate combines extensive acreage, exceptional shoreline and two spacious residences with beautiful views across the Bay of Fundy.

The property comprises two parcels with a combined area of approximately 21.23 acres (8.59 hectares). One of its most outstanding features is the extensive waterfront, with approximately 7,080 ft (2.16 km) of non-contiguous shoreline along Passamaquoddy Bay and Timber Cove. The grounds combine open lawn, mature trees and natural coastal shoreline, creating the atmosphere of a private maritime retreat. 

The estate is improved with a substantial Cape Cod-style main residence of approximately 7,201 sq ft (669 m²) together with a separate guest house of approximately 2,115 sq ft (196 m²). Together, the two residences provide approximately 9,316 sq ft (866 m²) of living space and a total of six bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Built around 2004 and continuously maintained, the buildings are described in the appraisal as being in good to excellent overall condition. 

The spacious main residence offers generous living and entertaining areas, including a large living room with fireplace, a separate library with fireplace, formal and informal dining areas and a well-equipped kitchen. The upper floor accommodates three bedrooms, including two particularly spacious principal bedrooms. The separate guest house provides additional privacy and accommodation for family and visitors, with three bedrooms, its own living room with fireplace and a small kitchen.

Traditional materials and detailing complement the coastal setting, including cedar-shingle exterior finishes and extensive wood detailing. The residences are heated by individual oil-fired systems, supplemented by partial in-floor heating and hot-water baseboard heating. Private well and septic systems serve the property, while electricity and telecommunications are available.

Despite its peaceful and secluded character, the estate offers convenient year-round road access via Oven Head Road and good connections to the regional road network. Route 1 is approx. 2.8 km away, providing access to nearby communities and the wider region. The towns of Saint Andrews, St. Stephen and St. George offer everyday amenities, while the Greater Saint John area provides a broader range of shopping and services.

The property occupies the southern end of Oven Head Road and is locally referred to as “Oven Head Island.” Although connected to the surrounding area by a single roadway, its distinctive position between Passamaquoddy Bay and Timber Cove gives the estate a pronounced island-like character.
