Description

The Catch of Ketch Harbour There’s a certain magic to life on the coastline of Portuguese Cove—where the salt air moves differently, where mornings feel intentional, and where the horizon seems just a little wider. At 761 Ketch Harbour Road, that magic greets you the moment you arrive. The home sits gently on a beautifully landscaped property, its covered front porch perfectly positioned toward the open Atlantic. From here, the ocean becomes daily entertainment: cruise ships on their way to Halifax, container vessels gliding across the shipping lanes, sailboats drifting along the coastline. It’s a view that never grows old, a quiet reminder of why people dream of living by the sea. Only ten years old, this home has been loved and cared for with meticulous attention. Step inside and you feel it instantly—clean lines, warm natural light, a layout that wraps around you with a sense of calm. Every window seems to frame a new piece of the landscape, every room feels intentional and lived-in but never worn. It’s a home that has been respected, maintained, and cherished. Outside, the double detached garage offers space for cars, tools, hobbies, or simply the comfort of storage and order. The grounds are just as carefully kept—lush green lawn, thoughtful landscaping, and room to enjoy the outdoors without the burden of heavy upkeep. But the real story here is the lifestyle. Morning coffees watching the first ship of the day cross the horizon. Evenings spent on the porch listening to the water and the wind. Weekends exploring nearby coves, beaches, and trails. This isn’t just a home—it’s a shift into a slower, richer way of living, surrounded by natural beauty and the quiet rhythm of coastal life. Homes like this don’t come along often, and when they do, they don’t stay long. This is The Catch of Ketch Harbour—and it’s waiting for someone who sees the ocean not just as a view, but as a way of life.
