Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a private 110-acre island on Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore. Located just off Marie Joseph, Turners Island (formerly Hawbolt Island) is only a 10-minute boat ride from the Government Wharf, offering both privacy and accessibility. Rich in history, the island features remnants of two former settlements, including stone foundations and shallow wells. A sheltered cove between Turners Island and Goose Island provides protected anchorage and is home to the island’s wharf, constructed with pressure-treated materials (with potential for extension; some repairs required). A path leads to a 21’ x 25’ post-and-beam cabin set in a private clearing, offering a rustic open-concept main floor and loft with development potential. Additional features include a lean-to, sawmill, and privy. Also included are two mainland homes (1609 and 1613) located across from the Government Wharf. One is partially renovated and move-in ready, while the other offers renovation potential. This unique property presents an excellent opportunity for a private retreat or eco-tourism venture. Furnishings are largely included, and a list of negotiable items available upon request. Viewings by appointment.
