luxury seaside house for sale Port Joli, Canada

Set across over 7.39 acres of beautifully established grounds overlooking the sheltered waters of Princes Inlet, this distinguished oceanfront estate captures the essence of coastal living on Nova Scotia’s South Shore. Exceptionally private yet remarkably connected, it is a property defined as much by its setting as by the residence itself. Encompassing over 7,000 square feet across three levels, the home offers five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a collection of generously proportioned living spaces. Fireplaces, expansive views and a natural connection to the gardens lend warmth and character throughout. A main-level primary suite provides a private retreat, while the kitchen and formal dining room open towards the grounds and stone patio, inviting gatherings that extend effortlessly outdoors. Beyond the residence, the estate unfolds across a landscape of mature trees, manicured gardens, an orchard and winding walking trails. A picturesque pond with fountain and footbridge adds to the property’s timeless character, creating a setting of remarkable tranquility and seclusion. With over 300 feet of protected oceanfront, a private wharf and boathouse, the property offers direct access to the celebrated sailing waters of the South Shore. A four-bay garage and separate studio or private office further complement the estate. For all its privacy, the historic communities of Mahone Bay and Lunenburg are just minutes away, with Halifax approximately an hour’s drive. An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial oceanfront estate where acreage, privacy and an extraordinary natural setting remain the ultimate luxury.

Harbour Mist. The name alone has become synonymous with one of Nova Scotia’s most memorable coastal properties. Set along the rugged beauty of the Aspotogan Peninsula, this remarkable French-inspired château is a rare expression of old-world craftsmanship, Atlantic Canadian character and timeless design. Built in 2014 by a master timber framer with European stonemasonry, Harbour Mist was conceived with extraordinary attention to detail. Massive reclaimed beams from a historic locomotive roundhouse, reclaimed oak floors from a Pennsylvania barn, an antique stone sink and extensive New Brunswick limestone lend a sense of history and permanence rarely achieved in a contemporary home. At its heart, a dramatic floating staircase is both architectural statement and work of art. Generous, beautifully proportioned spaces were designed for gathering and entertaining, with an open-concept kitchen and pantry, multiple fireplaces, two primary suites, a games area and captivating ocean views throughout. Geothermal heating, efficient climate control, an integrated generator and security system provide the conveniences of modern living while preserving the château’s distinctive old-world character. Harbour Mist has also earned a reputation beyond its walls, successfully welcoming guests as a luxury accommodation, intimate wedding venue and corporate retreat. For the next custodian, that established history presents the opportunity to continue its legacy as a private coastal residence, an exceptional hospitality offering, or an inspired combination of both. Just 20 minutes from Chester and within easy reach of Halifax and Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Harbour Mist is more than a remarkable property. It is a place with a name, a history and a presence distinctly its own.
