Is the East Coast lifestyle calling your name? If it is, this cheap house for sale in Nova Scotia might be one more sign that you're ready for a change of scenery.
This house located beside the ocean is perfect for any wistful daydreamers looking for a waterfront fantasy. The best part is that it's listed for a pretty reasonable price, given the current housing market in Canada.
With a starting price of $229,000, it's relatively low on price, but not low on gorgeous views of the pristine Atlantic Ocean.
And, you don't even get just views, the deeds actually come with that shoreline!
Located in the rural community of Wallace, which is just under two hours from Halifax, this place has been a summer property for many years. However, it just as easily could become an all-year-round home.

Right now, yes, the interior does look a little like your grandma's house circa 1985. But, with such a low starting price, it could mean you'd have some money leftover to do renovations.
Or, if you like the vintage vibes, you could live your grandma's old-school dream.
The house has five bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as tons of original features from its 1872 construction, like the staircase and hardwood flooring.

And while it might not have the most beautiful interior at the moment, you can't beat how close it is to the ocean and the acre of land that the house sits on.
Could you even buy an acre of land for less than a million dollars in a place like Toronto? The answer is probably a resounding "no."
Plus, there's a barn on the property as well, which could be used as a storage space, greenhouse, or whatever else your heart desires!
As for amenities, the property is within walking distance of restos serving fresh lobster, a boat launch, golf courses and beaches. Honestly? it sounds super relaxing.
For such a good price, this might have you thinking of leaving the loudness of the city for the relaxing sound of lapping waves.
