Dear Island Enthusiasts,

In the vibrant Canadian private island market, it's becoming harder each year to find well-priced islands in desirable regions. Ontario's ever-popular Cottage Country and the rugged coast of British Columbia have seen steep gains in the last 5 years, and while these properties are by no means over-priced, they may now be out of reach for some buyers looking for a simple vacation home. But even within this booming market, there are still hidden opportunities... particularly in the breathtakingly beautiful, yet often overlooked, Maritime province of Nova Scotia.

With a rich European heritage and unspoiled old-growth forests, Nova Scotia enjoys a unique combination of cultured, charming cities and wide expanses of untouched wilderness. A thriving tourism industry draws visitors from across the globe, with direct flights from New York, Toronto, Boston and many major European cities. Despite this growing popularity, relatively inexpensive islands can still be found within minutes of the sophisticated capital of Halifax. And the stunning Connington Island is a rare opportunity to own an island and mainland peninsula together- at an unbelievable price of US $219K.

Located near the scenic village of Prospect, Connington Island offers an excellent investment and a perfect chance for an affordable vacation residence. The unique pairing of the island and peninsula allows for many development opportunities, as a home can be constructed on the peninsula (which will have full road access) looking out onto your island, or for those desiring even more privacy, on the island itself, with beautiful views of Prospect and the neighboring undeveloped Crown Land island.

Convenience is key, and at only 20 minutes from Halifax, both the peninsula and island have easily-accessed utilities from a local mainland development, and the calm sheltered waters mean that a rowboat or even a pleasant summertime swim is sufficient to reach your island. And with a hot local market and advantageous Canadian dollar, Nova Scotian properties such as Connington are also an ideal real estate investment in the unpredictable current market. This may be the island you've been dreaming of- please visit HERE for more detailed information.

Best Regards,

Your Private Islands Team
