Set on 12.1 forested acres in Hectanooga, Nova Scotia, this off-grid homestead is a rare find—equal parts practical and whimsical. With a network of rustic buildings, terraced gardens, and abundant natural beauty, it offers a truly self-sufficient lifestyle with plenty of personality. The main residence is a compact, year-round tiny home with hardwood floors, two bedrooms, an open loft, full-height tub and shower, wood stove, full-sized propane range, on-demand hot water, and a composting toilet. It runs entirely off-grid with solar power, inverter, generator backup, and rainwater collection on all buildings. Water storage capacity totals 3,400 litres. A separate Bunkie with wet bath sleeps four, and there are three chicken coops, a sheep barn, and a weathered storage shed, each adding to the property’s rustic charm. An orchard has been planted with apple, pear, cherry, peach, apricot, pawpaw, and northern pecan trees. Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries grow wild throughout the property, which also features a small pond, a creek, and terraced garden beds overlooking the valley below. A second driveway offers access from the far end of the lot. The homestead borders the rail trail that connects to Yarmouth, Digby, and beyond—ideal for biking, walking, or off-road exploring. Four lakes are within five minutes, with the closest just 600 metres away. Highway access is 12 minutes down the road, and nearby towns include Meteghan (18 minutes for groceries, gas, and Tim Hortons) and Yarmouth (30 minutes for all major amenities). Private, productive, and full of potential, this is a unique opportunity for those seeking an off-grid lifestyle with heart and character.
