Oceanfront Family Home With Private Beach and Deep-Water Wharf in Seabright | Halifax Real Estate

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.

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.
