Luxury Waterfront Estate for Weddings, Events, Content Creation, Family Vacay

Dreaming of the sun, surf, and sand on a famous Nova Scotia surfing beach where your home away from home is only a short distance up the road? Welcome to “Saltwater Hideaway,” a marvelous glass-front six bedroom, three full bath, architecturally designed home that offers a panoramic view of Cole Harbour inlet. This ocean harbour home is located on a very private 4 acre lot and is only a short drive from your choice of beaches, including Lawrencetown, Conrad’s, Clam Harbour, Rainbow Haven, and Martinique Beaches. If city life is on your agenda, you are 15 minutes from Nova Scotia’s two largest cities. Business or pleasure, this home is your dream getaway.

Begin your day sipping a favorite beverage while sitting on the spacious safety glass paneled deck or relaxing at the large 8-chaired dining table while you gaze through the wall of south-facing windows at the panoramic water view. The smell of salt air accompanies the sight of bald eagles, osprey, blue herons, ducks, sea otters, and other wildlife. The unfettered view of the stars at night accompanied only by the sound of sea birds will complete your day in this quiet retreat.

As you enter the home, your eye is drawn across the gleaming birch flooring to the stunning water view beyond. The open concept main floor is perfect for entertaining, with a welcoming sunken living room, connected dining area, and spacious kitchen with center island and loads of counter space and cupboards. The bright kitchen has easy access to the deck and barbecue area via the mud room. A new reverse osmosis water treatment system provides you with fresh, filtered water and ice. Two large bedrooms (one with bunk beds and a crib), a full bath, and a laundry room complete the main floor.

Walk up the winding stairs and you are met with a spacious, romantic loft style master suite boasting a terrace overlooking the water. Walk through a large open closet to the connected ensuite, which features a 6 foot long, extra deep soaking tub, a double vanity, and a huge glass shower.

A fun space for adults and children alike, the spacious finished basement sports carpet throughout. A children's bedroom equipped with twin bunk beds is located on this level, and the expansive connecting home theatre includes a large TV, theatre screen, and surround sound system, allowing you to enjoy the experience of a cinema in the comfort of home. Around the corner are two additional bedrooms (one with an ocean view), a bathroom with shower, and loads of closet space.

Outdoors, an outdoor kitchen equipped with a sink, bbq grill, and pizza oven awaits your culinary talents. This space (shared with the on-property cottage) boasts a bespoke fire pit with seating for up to 28 people. Please be mindful of the privacy and comfort of cottage guests when using this space. Also please consult the current regulations regarding fires; on account of the widespread forest fires, provincial fire bans are declared throughout the year.

Swim spa and hot tub are kept empty between guests and a water truck must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance since the property is supplied by well water. Due to the exorbitant cost of water to fill the swim spa and hot tub and the high electric cost to keep them hot, the swim spa is offered at $75/per night and the hot tub at $25/night. Guest must pay for the entirety of their stay or must pay an attendant to shut them down or set them up if they want to use them for only part of the stay. Water treatment service is offered at $80/visit for the swim spa and $50/visit for the hot tub. Owner is able to provide guidance to care for both units if you opt out of paying for a service call during your stay. Both swim spa and hot tub must be paid for in full 2 weeks prior to check in or will be unavailable during stay.

Relax in this paradise, swim and surf in the ocean, lunch nearby at a café on top of a hill, walk the trails and take pictures of coastal birds and wildlife, or adventure to the cities. You can have it all within half an hour in either direction of this luxurious home.
