41 Bayberry Lane
Oceanfront Family Home With Private Beach and Deep-Water Wharf in Seabright | Halifax Real Estate
Exclusively listed by Sandra Pike, REALTOR® | The Pike Group, Royal LePage Atlantic
MLS® 40336661 · Seabright, Nova Scotia B3Z 3B5
Executive Overview
This is one of the most compelling oceanfront opportunities available in the Halifax real estate market. A five-bedroom, four-bathroom home situated on a sheltered cove along St. Margaret's Bay, the property on Bayberry Lane in Seabright delivers what few listings in Nova Scotia can: a private sandy beach, a deep-water wharf with aluminum floating dock, a concrete boat slipway, solar-powered energy efficiency, and a self-contained walkout basement suite with proven Airbnb revenue — all approximately 25 minutes from downtown Halifax. For the executive buyer, growing family, or investor seeking a rare waterfront lifestyle within the Halifax Regional Municipality, this is a property that merits serious and immediate consideration.
Property Highlights
Designed with a functional, light-filled layout and nearly 180-degree panoramic ocean views, the home spans over 4,100 square feet across three levels. The upper floors contain the primary living spaces — a generous living room, a den for media and family time, and a kitchen with countertops updated in 2021–2022. Natural light floods the interior from nearly every angle, while the views extend across the cove toward St. Margaret's Bay.
The walkout basement operates as a fully self-contained suite. Outfitted with a kitchenette, Scandinavian-style wood stove, full bathroom with jacuzzi tub, and two bedrooms, this level was used as a licensed Airbnb for six years with strong occupancy throughout the summer season. A separate entrance, lock on the basement door, and its own patio provide genuine privacy between the main home and the lower suite. The sellers noted that comparable Airbnb properties on the same road were commanding between $225 and $300 per night.
The property includes a concrete boat slipway with road access down to the water, a refurbished wharf (updated within the past five years), a nearly brand-new aluminum floating dock, and an accessibility-friendly swim ladder. The cove itself offers deep-water anchorage, warm swimming water, and protection from the prevailing winds — a combination that is exceptionally rare along this stretch of coastline. Owners can launch, store, and moor a powerboat or sailboat without any additional marina costs.
- Private sandy beach — approximately 12–15 metres of usable swimming area

- Reliable well water — only filled once in 15 years

Neighbourhood & Halifax Lifestyle
Living in Seabright within the Halifax Regional Municipality means access to one of Nova Scotia's most sought-after coastal corridors without sacrificing proximity to the city. The commute to downtown Halifax — including the Hydrostone neighbourhood — is approximately 25 minutes via St. Margaret's Bay Road, making this a viable primary residence for professionals who value a meaningful separation between work and home.
The immediate neighbourhood on Bayberry Lane is defined by privacy, low traffic, and a strong sense of community. Neighbours coordinate snow removal and the road is well removed from major arterials, so road noise is essentially non-existent. Young families have been moving into the area, and school-aged children are served by a bus stop at the top of the road. Wildlife is abundant: deer, foxes, hawks, minks, and a variety of shorebirds are regular visitors to the property.
The broader St. Margaret's Bay area has seen notable development along Highway 333 in recent years, with new cafés, bakeries, and boutique businesses opening along the route. Established amenities within a short drive include Café l'Acadie in Indian Harbour (approximately five minutes, serving traditional Acadian cuisine), the Oceanstone Seaside Resort and Nordic Hydrothermal Spa (approximately five to ten minutes), and the St. Margaret Sailing Club in Glen Haven (approximately five minutes). Fresh lobster is available from local purveyors along Peggy's Cove Road, and the iconic Peggy's Cove lighthouse is only a fifteen-to-twenty-minute drive. Grocery shopping, Canadian Tire, Lawtons, and additional retail are available in Upper Tantallon, roughly ten to fifteen minutes away, with Sobeys and the Hubley Centre a few minutes further along Hammonds Plains Road.
For buyers exploring Nova Scotia real estate with a focus on waterfront value, lifestyle, and proximity to Halifax, Seabright represents a rare intersection of all three. This is a community where the setting itself is the amenity — sheltered coves, warm swimming water, pristine sailing conditions, and the kind of natural beauty that drives long-term demand for coastal property in Halifax.
Proximity & Drive Times
Is This the Right Home for You?
This property is well suited to a buyer who values privacy, waterfront access, and a home that can perform multiple roles. For a growing family, the property offers woods for exploration, a safe and warm swimming beach, deep water for boating and fishing, and a community where children grow up with genuine outdoor freedom — all within school bus reach. For a professional couple or executive, the separation from the city is meaningful but not burdensome; you are 25 minutes from Halifax yet utterly removed from its pace. The self-contained basement suite provides a clear secondary income stream for anyone interested in short-term rental revenue, or it can serve as guest quarters, a home office, or an in-law suite.
For buyers who are artists, remote workers, or creative professionals, the privacy of the lot and the isolation from neighbours' sightlines means the freedom to work, build, or create without constraint. The recently insulated garage with renovated loft space adds further flexibility. In short, this is not a one-dimensional property — it adapts to how you want to live in Seabright, Nova Scotia.
