Overview
Description
Some houses simply witness history; this one has lived through it. Built around 1790, this remarkable property has watched over two centuries of tides rise and fall along the Bay of Fundy, and it's ready to welcome its next chapter. Set against a backdrop of some of the most dramatic coastal views in Nova Scotia, the property extends well beyond the main house. A carriage house stands as a nod to a slower, more storied past, while a separate guest house offers flexibility for visiting family, a studio, or additional income potential. This is not a turn-key home - it's an invitation. For the right buyer, this property offers something increasingly hard to find: authenticity, acreage, outbuildings, and a front-row seat to one of the natural world's most extraordinary phenomena.
