Welcome to The Beachhouse, a classic oceanfront property on Nova Scotia’s North Shore, nestled in breathtaking Malignant Cove along the Northumberland Strait, home to the warmest ocean waters north of the Carolinas.
The house is conveniently located 40 minutes from the PEI ferry to the west and the Cape Breton Island 40 minutes to the east.
Featured on the program Home Shores and set on 4.2 private acres with nearly 500 feet of direct ocean frontage, this one-of-a-kind property offers the rare feeling of having your own private beach. The shoreline is often wonderfully quiet and untouched, creating a sense of seclusion and serenity that is increasingly difficult to find.
Designed with intention and surrounded by nature, The Beachhouse combines warmth, luxury, and comfort. From the western cedar exterior to the beechwood floors, every detail was chosen to complement the spectacular coastal setting. Panoramic ocean views surround you, with water visible from every bedroom and living space.
Inside, the home features open-concept living with soaring cathedral ceilings and a stunning 25-foot beach stone fireplace anchoring the great room. At the center of the home is a custom cherry wood chef’s kitchen complete with a gas range, double ovens, granite countertops, premium appliances, and breathtaking views of the water while you cook and gather.
The main level includes a beautiful primary suite with ensuite bath and dressing room. Upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms, another full bathroom, and a media room perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors.
Step outside and enjoy breathtaking views (if you're lucky, you might see whales, porpoises, or seals!) on the private wrap around deck. Enjoy the breakfast nook overlooking the garden and property as the sun rises. Watch the sun go down as you eat dinner overlooking an expansive view of the ocean. Enjoy a bonfire on the beach and an endless starry night. Wash the sand off your feet with our outdoor shower.
Walk down the beach stairs and experience life at the water’s edge. Stairs lead directly to your sandy beach where you can:
• Swim in some of Canada’s warmest ocean waters
• Fish from shore
• Watch for whales and other sea life
• Gather around the beach fire area
• Explore miles of pristine coastline
• Enjoy visits from bald eagles, deer, rabbits, and other wildlife. Nature here isn’t simply nearby—it becomes part of your everyday experience.
Perfectly situated as a relaxing stop between Cape Breton and PEI, The Beachhouse is also conveniently located:
• 15 minutes to Antigonish
• 40 minutes to the Cape Breton Causeway or the Prince Edward Island ferry
• 2 hours to Halifax
1 hour 45 minutes to Halifax Stanfield International Airport
Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, an unforgettable summer getaway, or a private coastal escape, the Beachhouse offers an experience that is much more than a vacation property — it is a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy extraordinary oceanfront living.
