INCREDIBLE ocean cliff views at your doorstep on very private acreage + parking.

We are Bev & Barry, 2 Canadian Navy Vets (I, Bev, went on to serve in our national police force). We moved here from Victoria, BC having bought our final Forever Home in 2022, sight unseen - only having seen it from a video. We were looking for a private place with acreage overlooking water....BOY did we find the place! We love hosting as it is a PRIVILEGE & honour to live in this home, view & location, one we decided to share with others as it is too beautiful not to. We are grateful that we can provide a venue for families and friends to create their own memories to look back on, to see a new place they might've never seen before, and to walk away with that same sense of awe that we have every day. We've immersed ourselves into the community around us, I've learned to quilt with a group of amazing Acadian women, we line dance every Thursday night, we took up golfing at the local course, and I've also taken up learning how to play the Ukulele with another great group of local people. We both have 'injuries' from our Service to Country, and wanted to find a place of Peace & Calm in our retirement. In the first few months, when I couldn't find my husband anywhere in the house, I knew he had taken a lawn chair & his cup of coffee to just sit on the edge of the property overlooking the ocean. This place has become our MEDICINE. It has indeed become our Forever Home. Our hope is that everyone walks away with the same zen feeling we get from being on this Land, overlooking this incredible body of Niibi (water). Medicine & Memories.

We were looking for a quiet pace of life, one that was serene and was about The Land & The Water. It is in a rural setting in the Acadian south shore of Nova Scotia. Everything about the area is 'quaint'. The people, the shops, the atmosphere, the music, the pace of life, the great sense of community. We had absolutely NO idea about the area we bought our home in. We fell in love with the house & its views of the ocean from the video and made THE biggest leap of faith that this would not only be our home, but our community too. We were not disappointed. We knew the house had not been lived in for some time, and definitely needed a LOT of TLC, paint & renovations. We drove down our long driveway, without even walking into the house we had purchased & had never seen in person, we walked to the edge of the property, standing on the 90' cliffs....we knew! Whatever the house behind us held in store for us, we were prepared to roll up our sleeves again for our next phase of life. We soon discovered the beautiful nearby Mavillette Beach, where the tide went out & exposed her beautiful sandy ocean floor. The Cape St. Mary lighthouse is just down our coast, and you can hear her mournful cry when the fog sets in. During the winter months you can see the parade of lights at night of the lobster fisherman. During the day, you'll catch the sail past of fishing boats as they make their way to the wharfs with their catch. And although we are in a very private location, it does not take long to drive to find a hardware store, a grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shops, ATM's, farmers market with fresh fruit & veggies, corner store that has just about everything you need on a last minute's notice, quaint restaurants, or that place to buy fresh lobster & other seafood to cook back at the house. Other beaches, lighthouses, coastal communities are waiting to be discovered. Come for a visit, create new memories, and leave with the peace & serenity it has to offer.

You might need to sit down for this list. It is endless. Right off the top.....that VIEW!! And it doesn't matter just how many days you are here (3.5 years for us so far), it NEVER gets old. You might think it's just 'geography', but it's not. The 90' cliffs along the coast line are incredible. The ocean shows her might OR her embrace every day, you just never know what she's going to show you from one day to the next. There are days where the size (& the sounds) of the waves make you feel like the 90' cliffs are just not high enough. Then she shows her softer side, with waveless waters & a great sense of calm. OK!!! The SUNSETS!!!! SUNRISES!!!! I currently have 70,255 photos in my phone, and I can guarantee the majority of the photos are of sunsets & sunrises, and everything in between. The ever changing vistas are difficult to capture, even with photographs. Catching them in person is THE best. Next on this list is the Peace & Serenity you get from stopping to breathe and take it all in. Whether it's from the 2nd floor library wing-back chairs overlooking the vast ceiling of the living room, into the ocean beyond; or the custom made window box seating in the dining room, complete with custom made cushion seating & pillows. Curl up with your morning coffee & a book, watch the sunrise and the ocean - steps away. There is also a perfect reading platform in the Kidz Zone, with tons of cushions and throw blankets, with another perfect view of the ocean through 2 large windows. On a beautiful sunny day, sit on the ocean-facing deck, with the sofa-like patio furniture in the shade of the expanse of the roof line, or pull up a lawn chair to bask in the sun on the sunnier parts of the deck. You choose, your Peace, your serenity.
