Why dream of owning a cottage you have to drive three hours to get to on weekends?
In the Annapolis Valley, you can live and work from your vacation home while your boat bobs gently at the dock in front of the house. But even if your home isn't right on the water, you're never more than minutes away from a shoreline in Nova Scotia.
Affordable living
With the average selling price of a Canadian home nudging $700,000 in 2021, and well over $1 million in Toronto and Vancouver, house prices in the Annapolis Valley are a breath of fresh air. In September 2021, the average selling price of a home here was under $300,000. And that price will typically buy you a lot more house and land than you'd get elsewhere.
