OCEANFRONT LIVING AT THE HEAD OF ST. MARY'S BAY Welcome to 8965 Highway 101 in Brighton, Digby County, Nova Scotia - a rare oceanfront property offering direct water frontage at the sheltered head of St. Mary's Bay, where the tides of the Bay of Fundy meet the Acadian Shore. If you have been searching for an affordable, private coastal home in Southwest Nova Scotia with real ocean access, wide-open sea views, and the sound of the tide at your doorstep, this is the one. It would make an incredible short-term rental or a wonderful year-round family home. WHAT YOU GET This detached 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home offers 1,361 square feet of comfortable single-family living set on a generous, private 1.36-acre lot (59,242 sq ft). Enjoy a real sense of seclusion and space here - room to breathe, with your own oceanfront setting to unwind in peace and quiet, away from the crowds.

The property fronts directly on St. Mary's Bay, giving you unobstructed water views, cooling summer sea breezes, and the ever-changing tidal shoreline the Bay of Fundy is world famous for. There is plenty of room for gardens, a workshop, outbuildings, RV or boat parking, and space to simply spread out and enjoy the coast. A BIRDWATCHER'S PARADISE This is a true nature lover's dream. Bald eagles live and hunt on the sandflats here every single day, and a wonderful variety of shorebirds and wildlife frequent the flats to feed. Grab your coffee and your binoculars and watch the wild world come to life right outside your window. Then the tide rolls in fast - the Bay of Fundy has the highest tides on Earth - transforming the sandflats into shimmering open water in what feels like minutes and making the ever-changing views absolutely incredible from sunrise to sunset.
