Description

A rare opportunity to own your own private island in the heart of Nova Scotia's beautiful Mersey River system. Offered as a package, this unique property includes 1 Beaver Island Road—an 8-acre private island—and No. 8 Highway, Milton, the 3-acre mainland access parcel complete with a storage shed and convenient access to a residents' boat launch. Formerly known as Beaver Island Lodge, this remarkable property has welcomed generations of outdoor enthusiasts and was once a popular destination for hunting and fishing groups. Today, it offers endless potential as a family retreat, seasonal getaway, eco-tourism venture, or private lodge. The spacious main lodge features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a commercial septic system, making it well suited for hosting family and friends. Water is supplied from the lake, while a solar power system with panels provides an off-grid lifestyle surrounded by nature. Over the past few years, several key improvements have already been completed, including a new steel roof, 400 sq. ft. deck, reinforced foundation, updated laminate flooring, and beautiful cedar shiplap ceilings that add warmth and character throughout. Surrounded by pristine wilderness, Beaver Island is a nature lover's paradise. Spend your days fishing in one of Nova Scotia's premier angling destinations, paddling peaceful waters, watching bald eagles soar overhead, or spotting turtles and other wildlife along the shoreline. With Kejimkujik National Park just up the road, the setting offers the same tranquil beauty and untouched landscape that make the area so special. While the property still requires additional finishing and updates, the hard work has begun, creating an incredible opportunity to make this one-of-a-kind island your own. Properties like this are exceptionally rare—offering privacy, adventure, and limitless potential in an unforgettable setting.
