I have sold a property at 815 Dauphinees Mill Lake Water A in Hubbards on Oct 1, 2026. See details here
There is something magical about places you can't simply drive to. The adventure begins at the marina. Bags are packed, the boat is loaded, and within minutes you're crossing Mill Lake toward a shoreline that feels like your own private corner of Nova Scotia. As the cottage appears through the trees, the stress of the week dissolves like morning fog under the summer sun. Welcome to 815 Mill Lake Road. Set along 180 feet of south-facing waterfront, this retreat was never meant to be measured in square feet. It's measured in morning paddles, children splashing from the dock, the distant call of loons, evenings around the fire, and stories shared beneath the stars. Designed for gathering, the property unfolds like a small lakeside village. Family and friends can spread out between the fully renovated back-to-the-studs cottage, the spacious ~480 sq ft bunkie with kitchenette and shower room, and a versatile boathouse for storage, entertaining, or extra guests. More than sleeping space, the bunkie becomes the place for movie nights, rainy afternoons, and guests who stay a little longer. Outside is where this property shines. A wraparound deck stretches toward the waterfront with a screened room, gazebo, sunny and shaded spaces, plus a hot tub for evenings by the lake. Though wonderfully removed, comfort is never sacrificed with power, running water, septic, heat pumps, high-speed internet, a powered she-shed, workshop, and outdoor bathroom with flushing toilet. Mill Lake is the star—vast, clean, and lightly developed, offering endless boating, swimming, paddling, fishing, and exploring. Included boat and marina parking mean your lake life begins on day one. Some properties are purchased. Others become part of a family's story. This is one of those places. Only 30 minutes from Halifax off Exit 6 in Hubbards.
