This property is a 2 Bedroom oceanfront home renovated in 2006. Properties in this rural area are at least one acre+ in size which ensures a quiet environment.

Situated 15 minutes to Halifax, this area is pretty much rural and remote from the city. The night's are dark and noiseless with no glare on the clouds from the city. You can enjoy the looking at the Milky Way on a clear night. If you are lucky and there is a full moon when you are here, it makes a spectacular moon rise directly over the bay and is quite often a deep orange colour. The drive to Halifax is partially a slow meandering drive partially along the coast. The area is surprisingly quiet when considering the proximity to the city and may be one of the best kept secrets reasonably close to town. It takes about 20 minutes to get to an very large shopping complex which has everything from cinemas to restaurants to grocery stores. The area is ideally situated to visit such locales as the world heritage city of Lunenburg. The bay of fundy and the world's highest tides are a scenic 90 minute drive away.

Further Details for the house in Canada

The 'feel' and geography of the local area Nova Scotia is hilly, heavily wooded, and has hundreds of kilometers of coastline on the Atlantic. You are never more than an hour from the ocean anywhere on this peninsula. It is similar in shape and size to Florida but with only a fraction of the population. We are located on a hilltop overlooking a bay giving a stunning view of the ocean. The back yard slopes down to the shore.

Semi-Private Golf course within walking distance Nearby is superb semi-private golf course Granite Springs - check it out at link below. Located just 25 minutes from downtown Halifax on the way to famed Peggy's Cove, Granite Springs is a 18-hole golf course that is both beautiful and challenging. The course layout, overlooking Shad Bay, offers a golfing experience that has become a favourite for local and visiting golfers alike. On Granite Springs, strategy is an invaluable asset that will help the thinking golfer avoid trouble. The fairways are narrow but you will be rewarded for a taking a little off the ball, and going for placement, not distance. The course is scenic, with granite outcroppings and a wide variety of wildlife. A camera is a must for first-time visitors, as you will want pictures of our wonderful golf holes.
