We were looking for a quiet pace of life, one that was serene and was about The Land & The Water. It is in a rural setting in the Acadian south shore of Nova Scotia. Everything about the area is 'quaint'. The people, the shops, the atmosphere, the music, the pace of life, the great sense of community. We had absolutely NO idea about the area we bought our home in. We fell in love with the house & its views of the ocean from the video and made THE biggest leap of faith that this would not only be our home, but our community too. We were not disappointed. We knew the house had not been lived in for some time, and definitely needed a LOT of TLC, paint & renovations. We drove down our long driveway, without even walking into the house we had purchased & had never seen in person, we walked to the edge of the property, standing on the 90' cliffs....we knew! Whatever the house behind us held in store for us, we were prepared to roll up our sleeves again for our next phase of life. We soon discovered the beautiful nearby Mavillette Beach, where the tide went out & exposed her beautiful sandy ocean floor. The Cape St. Mary lighthouse is just down our coast, and you can hear her mournful cry when the fog sets in. During the winter months you can see the parade of lights at night of the lobster fisherman. During the day, you'll catch the sail past of fishing boats as they make their way to the wharfs with their catch. And although we are in a very private location, it does not take long to drive to find a hardware store, a grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shops, ATM's, farmers market with fresh fruit & veggies, corner store that has just about everything you need on a last minute's notice, quaint restaurants, or that place to buy fresh lobster & other seafood to cook back at the house. Other beaches, lighthouses, coastal communities are waiting to be discovered. Come for a visit, create new memories, and leave with the peace & serenity it has to offer.
