Bear Island is one of the real jewels among the LaHave Islands archipelago of approximately 7 acres consisting of forests as well as the remains of pastureland which can be divided into 3 lots. A building permit was issued years before but never used. The new owner can build a house of their dreams or a simpler yet practical structure, where they and their family and friends can spend their weekends or vacations. Another option for a simpler and romantic living space in nature would be to add a yurt/portable cabin with a small fireplace in the cold winter months.

At one time the island was inhabited by settlers whose livelihood consisted of farming and fishing. An old stone well and foundation are the only remains from that era. The island consists of forest as well as the remains of pastureland.

The offering of Bear Island comes with a mainland waterfront lot which can be used for a landing for a small boat as well as room for parking a car and a storage building, a study or boathouse. It is a relatively short and safe boat trip to Bear Island where you can enjoy the company of friendly otter, deer and eagles. You can find more information at www.enjoynovascotia.com.
