Homestead by the Sea
Overlooking Mahone Bay and its islands, with over 56 acres, the Rafuse Homestead is one of the last remaining oceanfront acreages on Nova Scotia’s sought after South Shore. A tranquil sanctuary for people and wildlife alike, with access to the finest sailing waters far and wide.
The old farmhouse has recently made room for a brand new, superbly crafted residence: A one-level, three-bedroom home with an upstairs guest suite. A layout taking full advantage of the gorgeous views, custom built kitchen and bathrooms, in-floor heating, a sauna, and high end European finishes throughout â€" this property will fill its owners with the joy that only comes from time well spent and things well made.
As for location, it’s a ten-minute drive to the lively summer town of Mahone Bay. Old Town Lunenburg, a UNESCO world heritage site, is a half hour away, and the provincial capital Halifax with the International airport can be reached in little more than one hour.
