About the host

Hosted by .

Host profile image
Val is a professional Captain and settled in Nova Scotia 16 years ago, and fully renovated this farmhouse. Then she designed and built a second home for her Mom, just up the hill. Now she has designed and built an off grid cabin further up the hill for herself to live in while her house is rented out. Next will be renovating the boat house as an additional rental unit, right on the water

Why they chose this property

I was looking for a place connected to the ocean, so I could have my sailboat moored right out in front of my home. The proximity to the South Shore hub of Bridgewater, fab beaches 10 min away, with Lunenburg and Mahone Bay, Lighthouse Trail close by for great day tripping.

What makes this property unique

This custom designed property offers great spaces for a large group to gather, or to find space away from the group, to enjoy the peace and quiet. The proximity to town makes it handy for shopping, while some of the best beaches are a stones throw away in opposite direction.
