Some homes give you an address. Others give you a destination. Welcome to Ocean Bay View, an extraordinary oceanfront estate overlooking the sheltered waters of Petpeswick Inlet, where every day feels like an escape and every gathering becomes an occasion. Originally envisioned as a luxury executive residence, Ocean Bay View was designed for connection. A place where generations come together, friends linger long after sunset, and weekends effortlessly become lasting memories. While it currently operates as a successful boutique hospitality retreat, its heart has always been that of an exceptional waterfront home—one that can easily return to its original purpose. Every space draws you toward the water. Morning coffee in the sun-filled solarium. Afternoons spent boating from your private launch and 70-foot pier. Evenings gathered around the shoreline as the western sky paints the harbour in colour before retreating to the warmth of the hot tub, sauna or steam room. Inside, more than 4,000 square feet unfolds with comfort and flexibility in mind. Five beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms, an additional private guest suite, generous gathering spaces, and a welcoming billiards lounge ensure family and guests can come together while still enjoying privacy and quiet retreat. Beyond the main residence, a detached bonus building provides endless possibilities as a guest house, home office, artist's studio or private retreat. Whether your vision is an extraordinary family estate, a multi-generational waterfront escape, or an established luxury hospitality opportunity, Ocean Bay View offers something increasingly rare—a home that becomes the place everyone looks forward to returning to. Because the greatest luxury isn't simply owning the waterfront. It's creating the place no one wants to leave.More details

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.More details
