"Longview" is a very unique property...consisting of two separate buildings which offer togetherness & privacy, simultaneously. The main home & artist's studio cottage are surrounded by a split brook & nestled in a forest backed by a mountain view & fronted by the ocean.
It is centrally located in the charming fishing village of Long Cove, on the famed Avalon Peninula (National Geographic Destination 2010) This small, friendly community has an authentic working outport harbour & is home to the original "Three Jolly Fishermen", recognized world-wide as Newfoundland icons.
Here is the opportunity to view the comings & goings of local fishermen, buy fresh fish & lobsters, see whales & view seasonal icebergs...all out your front door.
The main house offers 1200 sq. ft of living space; 2 bedrooms, a full eat-in kitchen, 4 pce. bath, & open livingroom, all charmingly decorated in a nautical theme using local antiques. An 800 sq. ft. covered deck with patio heater & outdoor lighting afford ample protected space to relax & breathe in the salt air in all weather conditions.
Within steps, sits the 720 sq. ft artists' studio cottage, which features 14 ft. cathedral ceilings, a 4 pce. bath, bedroom & living room, encircled by glass railings, which provide unobstructed views
of Trinity Bay & the renowned Seaview Hiking Trail.
This exceptional property is perfectly located as a jumping off point for day trips to St. John's, Terra Nova National Park, Hearts Content, Trinity & Brigus..

This spot truly made our summer vacation a delight this summer. This home was very clean, beautifully decorated and well maintained. The decks were fantastic to drink coffee on in the morning and watch the fishing boats come in or to sip wine on in the evening. The owners had left a very helpful binder of information on local hiking trails by the water and brochures for local attractions. The kitchen is better equipped than my own! My teenagers loved it because of the Wifi, big screen TV and luxurious sheets! I will highly recommend this spot to anyone travelling with a family. Be sure to ask the locals where you can get some cod.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet owners, families with young children.

This beautiful property was enjoyed for my family reunion( England and Ontario). Beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed walking to the outport harbour and watching the fishing boats come in. The local convenience store had virtually everything and we could walk there. The owner's guest guide for places to see and emergency and other practical information was most helpful. We stayed 4 nights and would have liked longer. Thanks -- hope to visit again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We just returned from our trip to Norman's Cove-Long Cove, Newfoundland and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although we didn't end up utilizing all the space available (and there was plenty), we truly loved this cottage on the hill with spectacular views of the ocean. This hillside retreat was luxurious, clean and perfect. We HIGHLY recommend it!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children.

Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: Michael and I are retired professionals, and spend our time travelling between Ontario, Newfoundland and Florida with our 3 lucky dogs. Michael is a well know artist, who spends his time painting the endlessly beautiful Newfoundland landscapes, and selling them at the Peter Lewis gallery here in St.John's. I spend my time in Newfoundland, reading, baking, rug hooking and creating canvas floor mats. As a child, I had the good fortune to spend my summers in Long Cove, where my ancestors first settled in the 1700's, a family of fishermen & master shipbuilders. Both the lure of the sea & the legendary warmth of the Newfoundlanders captured my heart early on, but the opportunity to become residents only presented itself, three years ago.
Why the Owner Chose Norman's Cove:
My family settled in Trinity Bay in the 1700's. where the Newhook's were renowned ship builders. I spent many summers growing up with my aunts, uncles and cousins, and when this property became available, we jumped at the opportunity.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
A short stroll to the fisherman's wharf, will many times yield the chance to buy fresh fish or lobster. On the way home, stop in at the general store for a cold bottle of wine. Then enjoy the sunset from your chaise lounge on the back deck....priceless!
