We fell in love with Trinity East many years ago, coming back year after year to enjoy the hospitality and charm of the local area and its people, and share the experience with family and friends. With its one-road-in and one-road-out access, this was the one place where our children were always able to safely experience the freedom on the land that many from NL cherish as a young children growing up. When we retired, we decided to build our own place so that we could stay longer and have a place where (hopefully) future grandchildren could experience the same. As a small working outport community, Trinity East has a decidedly rural pace, low traffic, and more privacy than that available in Trinity itself during the tourist season. Tuckamore is perched on a bluff which overlooks the immediate outport with views across the bay to Trinity itself. The property is an enchanting two-acre mix of forest and meadow with the occasional sighting of resident fox, snowshoe hare and moose, plus wild raspberries, blueberries and partridge berries available for harvest in season. With access to the famous Skerwink Trail right from your doorstep there can be no better encouragement to experience the best of Newfoundland's spectacular coastline. Day trips from this convenient central location on the Bonavista peninsula have exposed our family and guests to so much of Newfoundland's wonderful theatre, music, art, culture and heritage.

One of the reasons we chose to build on this property is the great south-facing panoramic view of Trinity East, the historic town of Trinity, Trinity Harbour and Lighthouse, and some of the giant sea stacks along the coast. We worked with local home designer and neighbour, Frank Lapointe, to fashion our all-season dream home, which harbours all the trapping of contemporary living with a nod to traditional saltbox architecture. The exposed timber frame structure that surrounds you when inside is a visible testament to the skill of the award-winning local crew from Sweet Lumber Ltd. who built the home. Finally, there is comfort in knowing that this home, with its 15-inch exterior walls, was built as one of the most well-insulated and heating-efficient homes on the coast.
