INSURANCE etc. for water properties

It’s interesting the knowledge you pick up while having a REALTOR®‘s license, and researching topics for out-of-area buyers (on the South Shore of Nova Scotia). Is there flood plain coverage here?  What about erosion… and can people use my “private” beach.

It gets to the point where you don’t want to put Associate Broker on your advertising, because then you are “deemed” to know more!

Insurability for seasonal residents is one of my favourite niches though.  Depending on where you’ve been before, Nova Scotia can be a lot different.  Same with knowing the ocean and lake preferences, and why building in certain locations is a better idea than others.

Take for example, this listing near Petite River Winery. It is just above the ocean Fog Belt, and has a groomed brook running through, with pond and fountain.  Privacy from road noise was important to the owners.  It’s tucked off the route to many sand beaches.

“Across the bridge and around a bend, so only your deer know the address”.

It is great that you can relax so effortlessly here. No gear to pack — or Reno’s to do –it’s a vacation location and homeplace in one. But possibly everyone will want to visit. Some pull out couches could exist with a media room or pool table in the getaway 2nd storey.

This is a R2000 contemporary with character. The fairytale setting, has a low maintenance glen for the Great Blue Herons who visit too. The soaring interior is pure comfort and Canadiana done well.

Should you explore a sloped pasture for future grape vines? Or follow the treeline to extra building sites…The owners even thought to screen the deck floor in case an enclosed porch is desired. Oooo I could live here!

So as for more outbuildings or even extended family cottages:  With 11 acres of space, you wouldn’t have to squeeze it in.  This site offers peace and climate for now and future.
