11 Waterfront Homes For Sale In Nova Scotia That You Could Buy ...

Managing Editor, Canada

Canada's Ocean Playground is calling! These impressive houses for sale in Nova Scotia prove that waterside living can actually be pretty affordable and they might just persuade you to

Back in 2020, the Nova Scotia government launched a campaign encouraging Canadians from all over the country to relocate to the Sea Bound Coast.

In addition to "endless beaches" and "coastal beauty," the province says it's jam-packed with seriously cheap homes located right beside the water.

Here are just a few examples of what's for sale in the region right now (and some even have a beach in the backyard!):

Full time vacation home

Lynn Zavitz | RE/MAX BANNER REAL ESTATE

Address: 4897 Shore Rd. W., Granville Ferry, NS

Description: Located on the shores of Steve's Cove, overlooking the Bay of Fundy, this open concept home is a nature lover's dream come true. The listing says it's "tucked in the arms of mother nature, seals, sea birds and lobster boats abound." Oh, and you basically have a beach outside your front door. Pretty dreamy, eh?

Backyard beach

Description: OK — this home is a tiny bit more expensive than $350,000. However, it comes with its very own cottage, bunkhouse and beach access, in addition to incredible ocean views. It's also got a private pond surrounded by trees and even a hot tub. All things considered, it's still a pretty good deal, right?!
