Exploring The Atlantic Coast from Birchy Head

Birchy Head is ideally located as a home base to explore the many delightful nooks and crannies of Nova Scotia all year round. Contrary to popular belief, Nova Scotia winters aren’t as harsh as many other parts of Canada. This is a great help if you want more reliable access to an international airport in winter months.
The warmest and most spectacular months are late May through mid-October. In the spring with colours bursting across the province, in summer with lilac bushes and gardens alight with colours and in the fall the trees popping in bright golds, reds, browns and rust. With rugged coast lines and sparkling fresh water lakes and rivers it can be a photographers dream.

If you’re into fishing, there are opportunities with lake, stream and ocean. In the lakes there are small mouth bass, speckled and rainbow trout, here is a map of the restocking undertaken by the provincial government. A fishing license is required but only about $15/season. There is also salmon fishing on the rivers and some First Nations communities offer an opportunity to see an ancient fishing wier in action. You can also charter deep see fishing craft (such as Blue Shark charters) if you like for tuna, sharks and more.

Like to go whale watching? There are a number of charters throughout the summer months. In fact, with a pair of good binoculars and maybe even a telescope you might see whales and dolphins right off the deck of Birchy Head itself…from your own home! But you can nip down to Peggy’s Cove or spend a glorious day in Lunenberg to go see the whales up close.

There are little coves and inlets all along the Nova Scotia coast. Some gentle and covered in trees and pastures, while others are rugged and rocky with spectacular cliffs. There are trails as well and one can take a day to hike the well groomed Cape Split trail just about an hours drive from Birchy Head. You can see the dramatic roiling of the Bay of Fundy currents mixing there…take a jacket even in summer though, it gets cool on the split!

Birchy Head is a fine Atlantic Canadian luxury home currently for sale. It’s a spectacular ocean front property ideal for a foreign buyer looking for a stable market where they know their investment is safe.

An Atlantic Canada Jewel | Birchy Head

Perched on the rocky, dramatic coast of St. Margaret's Bay in Nova Scotia, Canada, the house of Birchy Head commands stunning ocean views. One has a unique front row seat to one of Canada's most exciting coastal locations.

While at first one might think this estate is an ideal summer residence, it offers a chance to enjoy all the seasons offered in Canada. Spectacular autumn scenes where one can awake to a crisp fall morning, drinking a hot cup of coffee in the salty air, then drive to the brilliant colours of the Annapolis Valley and enjoy a wine tour. Even in winter, a raging blizzard can set the steely ocean alive, yet you can stay warm inside, a roast cooking slowly in the oven. Spring brings the farmers markets with fresh vegetables and cheeses. Summer offers lazy, hazy days, perhaps a quick sail on the bay even? Then there's Nova Scotia strawberries and blueberries, simply bursting with flavour...some say our blueberries are juiciest and most flavourful in the world!

Birchy Head is for sale. A fine Atlantic Canada estate built with the latest in green technologies; solar water heating, septic biofilter tank, central vaccuum and more. If you're looking for a second home in Atlantic Canada, this spectacular location may be the perfect spot! Keep an eye on this blog for updates!

Spring emerges on Canada's Atlantic Coast, the trees bright emerald green and bursting with energy. Nestled in along the coast, the days grow longer at Birchy Head. As the evenings warm, one looks forward to a fine glass of pinot grigio sitting on the deck, just watching the set of the sea, refreshed by the salt water, feeling the settling of the day.

A sense of adventure always seems to tickle the air in the mornings out here. You feel this kind tug in the atmosphere, calling you the nooks and crannies of the South Shore, filled with little antique shops, quaint cafes and some delightful restaurant. Or perhaps a fine seafood chowder in the town of Mahone Bay at the Happy Cooker restaurant? Fresh haddock, lobster and Digby scallops!
