Overview
Description
A remarkable stretch of Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore, this expansive Fox Harbour landholding offers a rare combination of scale, privacy and natural coastal beauty. Comprising four parcels, the property features a diverse landscape of open fields, forest, streams and extensive shoreline, with frontage along both the Northumberland Strait and the sheltered waters of Fox Harbour Bay. With access from a paved public road and approximately 7,150 feet of combined waterfront, the property presents extraordinary possibilities. Envision a private coastal estate, a multigenerational retreat, or a thoughtfully planned future development, subject to applicable approvals. Multiple parcels provide added flexibility, while the property’s size and configuration create a level of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. The setting feels wonderfully removed, yet everyday amenities and some of the North Shore’s most appealing communities remain within easy reach. The nearby village of Wallace offers a working harbour, boating opportunities and access to the trails and wetlands of the Wallace Bay National Wildlife Area. Pugwash provides shops, services, a farmers’ market, waterfront parks and the historic Thinkers Lodge National Historic Site. In the opposite direction, Tatamagouche is known for its lively Main Street, local restaurants, craft businesses, farmers’ market, and access to the Trans-Canada Trail. Jost Vineyards, area marinas and the sandy, warm-water beach at Fox Harbour Provincial Park further enhance the coastal lifestyle. This is more than a parcel of land—it is an opportunity to shape an enduring legacy on one of Nova Scotia’s most beautiful shorelines.
