Description

Set on 2.26 acres on Nova Scotia’s scenic Aspotogan Peninsula, 30 Backman Road is a charming coastal retreat with protected views over St. Margaret’s Bay. Built in 2008, the home’s cedar-shakes pay homage to coastal traditions, while modern upgrades—including a metal roof, ductless heat pump, and an automatic whole-home generator—provide complete peace of mind. Inside, a soaring, skylit foyer opens onto a spacious living room warmed by a cozy wood-burning stove. The kitchen, featuring classic white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a generous pantry, and an expanded island, looks directly out to the bay beyond with its gorgeous pink and orange sunrises. A renovated main-floor bath (2024) completes an accessible main level designed with wide doorways and generous turning radiuses. Upstairs, a vaulted 28-foot loft holds the primary bedroom, complete with a sitting area, half bath, and laundry, plus the potential to divide the space into two bedrooms in the future. Outside, granite outcrops, mature perennial gardens and a natural bird habitat frame a tiered deck, covered lower patio, woodshed, storage shed, and sauna. Plus an RV hookup for visitors. Bayswater Beach is just a short walk away, and the famed Aspotogan Loop runs right past the front door. Ideally situated between Chester and Hubbards, this property is 50 minutes from Halifax and just under an hour to the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Experience coastal living at its finest at 30 Backman Road.
