If you've ever wanted to have an oceanfront home, there is a house for sale in Nova Scotia right on the ocean with its own beach and it costs less than $500,000!

Also, it's on an island — Morris Island to be exact — which is part of the province's southwestern coast and less than 30 minutes away from Yarmouth.

This waterfront house is 2,215 square feet with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and on just under an acre of land.

Described as country living in an oceanfront home, it's listed for sale for $499,900 which is probably less than it would cost you to buy a condo in Toronto.

This house for sale in Nova Scotia is secluded not just because it's on an island but also because it's surrounded by towering trees on all sides and backs onto the ocean.

Because of how the house was designed, you actually get ocean views from all of the rooms!

There is also a finished basement that has another bedroom along with a recreation room, laundry room and workshop.

Plus, it's a walk-out room, which means it opens up to the house's backyard.

If you thought the house for sale in Nova Scotia being on an island makes it special, this might just make it even more unique.

The climate on Morris Island tends to be milder than in other parts of the province and is actually more comparable to B.C.
