Marine-oriented activities abound, as well as opportunities to watch loons, ospreys, eagles, & a family of pheasants each fall. Travel East to the renowned Nova Scotia International Tattoo, Halifax,1-8 July or west to the Lunenburg Wooden Boat Races, the Chester Yacht Race or the Marblehead Race in late July/August. Chester Theatre, Neptune Theatre, Shakespeare in the Park & Atlantic Theatre Festival, Kentville offer summer fare. Peggy's Cove is Canada's most visited tourist site (plus Memorial to Swiss Air 111 victims) with the Titanic graveyard another landmark. Farmers' Markets, Agricultural Shows, studio tours, church suppers provide local insights. Local delicacies are Lobster, Atlantic salmon, Solomon Gundy & Blueberry Grunt

Further Details for the house in Canada

History of Mason's Point This property was owned by the first Mason family of the area & an ideal site was chosen on higher ground sloping gently down to the furthest point of land jutting into the ocean. They were Baptists and established the old Baptist Cemetery on Mason's Point Road, up from the Baptist Church. Much later it was part of a 100-acre estate assembled by the Keddy family, who had the oceanfront studio made for their artist daughter. The property was later acquired by the Jesuit Order who used it for their frequent Retreats and had many cabins in the woods. They used the studio as a boathouse, where the wooden pegs to hang their robes before swimming are still visible. Sometimes a Jesuit retiree will return to reminisce about those happy summers before the Order diminished & had to sell, fully expecting to see the old house torn down rather than lovingly restored, albeit with discreetly modern conveniences.

Visitors Expect an occasional visit from deer, especially when the apples are dropping from the trees. A family of pheasants makes its annual appearance in the fall. Dolphins have been seen disporting themselves in the Bay, but you must go further afield for whale-watching. You will hear the sharp bark of sea otters from the rocks where Mom is protecting her babies. And you will see the eagle soar and the osprey swoop for fish in the Bay.

Other Activities Cycling Trail, Kayaking
