The space Set on a calm, non-motorized spring-fed lake in rural Nova Scotia, this private lakefront property offers a quiet setting on a “go-slow” private lane with open skies and surrounding nature. The north side overlooks farmland, woodland, and wetlands, while the lakeside features flat grassy areas with shade—ideal for relaxing or enjoying the view. Lake access is easy via stairs or a gentle slope to a pebbled shoreline, known locally as a great swimming spot. The home is also a convenient base for exploring the North Shore and UNESCO Cliffs of Fundy coastline. Masstown Market is just a short drive away, and Halifax, Parrsboro, New Glasgow, and the PEI ferry are all within about an hour. A peaceful place to slow down, unwind, and stay awhile. Optional extras (upon request): • Firewood for the outdoor fire pit • Grocery pickup or pre-arrival delivery Guest access Guests have full access to the main level of the home, including the kitchen, dining area, living room, meditation/yoga room, bedrooms, and bathroom. The lakeside yard, private shoreline, and seasonal fire pit area are also available to enjoy. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space is bright and comfortable, with large windows that bring in natural light and lake views—ideal for relaxing, meals, and time together. A dedicated lakeview meditation and yoga room offers a quiet space to unwind, stretch, or simply enjoy the view. A clearly marked, locked utility room and storage area in the basement is reserved for owner use. Other things to note Our home is located on a quiet, non-motorized lake in a peaceful rural setting.
