Residential For Sale

Discover the unparalleled charm of Pictou Island, often celebrated as the Jewel of the Northumberland Strait. From sea to shining sea, this extraordinary +/- 70-acre property spans from the island’s southern to northern shores, offering nearly 900 feet of pristine ocean frontage. Experience breathtaking sunsets from your northern retreat and take in the stunning views of mainland Nova Scotia from the sandy south shore. The off-grid, picture-perfect 3-bedroom bungalow has been thoughtfully updated with composite shingles, newer windows and doors, a steel roof, and a drilled well, making it a comfortable and sustainable haven. With its traditional, untouched forest on the land north of Pictou Island Road and partially cleared land to the south—once used for farming—this property has never been subdivided, making it one of the few remaining original land lots on the island. Whether you choose to parcel off sections north or south of Pictou Island Road to fund your island dream or preserve its entirety as a private sanctuary, the possibilities are endless. Feel the weight of the world lift as you step off the boat or plane, just a 40-minute ferry ride from mainland Nova Scotia. Pictou Island is increasingly becoming a sought-after destination, attracting a growing and vibrant summer community while maintaining its charm with a small number of year-round residents. The island’s warm and welcoming atmosphere invites visitors from near and far to experience the true essence of ‘Island Time’—a genuine escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a breath of fresh, maritime air. This is a rare chance to embrace one of the finest examples of East Coast living in Canada.
