Anyone who's been to Nova Scotia knows that it offers some of the most breathtaking natural vistas in Canada—and indeed, in the world. Now you can own a beautiful and completely turnkey log cabin cottage on a two-acre private island on stunning Lake Charlotte—one of Nova Scotia's largest lakes, set at the heart of the province.

Located just an hour's drive from Halifax, Lake Charlotte is home to one of Nova Scotia's most scenic campgrounds, E&F Webber Lakeside Park. From the wharf here, launch your boat for the quick trip to Harbour Island, where you'll dock at your own private wharf. You'll find your charming and perfectly appointed log cabin nestled in the trees, greeting you with a huge wraparound deck—ideal for hanging hammocks and enjoying the lake views. Inside the cabin, the open-concept main floor features a spacious great room with cathedral ceilings, and a custom-designed kitchen and dining area with propane-powered refrigerator and stove. The ground floor also features one bedroom and a full bath, while upstairs in the second story loft you'll find the master bedroom and a den, both offering exquisite lake views.

Solar panels on the island's shed provide electricity & hot water, with a backup generator also on hand for the island's rare rainy day. A wood stove in the great room provides plenty of cozy heat. A new lake pump and pressure tank have been recently installed, and the porch has been freshly pressure-washed and restained.

While away the long summer days on Lake Charlotte by kayak or canoe, or explore the fantastic nearby hiking trails onshore. Numerous attractions are just minutes away, including relaxing beaches, interesting museums, the picturesque River Oaks Golf Club, and the Martinique Beach Game Sanctuary. Now offered at a reduced price, Harbour Island offers an affordable and readymade home base for discovering the boundless natural beauty of Nova Scotia.
