West on Granville Road to Victoria Beach. Watch for civic number 608. Two detached homes share this elevated Victoria Beach property overlooking the Bay of Fundy. The land falls away toward the shoreline, creating far-reaching views across the water. From this vantage point, the view is never static. Fishing boats leave the harbour, the Fundy Rose makes its crossing, sailboats drift through the channel, and the tides continually reshape the shoreline below. The property pairs the original home with a new building, completed in 2022, featuring a heated double garage with 200 amp electrical service and a two-bedroom, one-bath residence above. Separate power meters for each residence add to the property's flexibility, while the heated garage offers excellent space for a workshop, hobbyist, or home-based business. Large windows, a second-storey deck, and a covered patio take full advantage of the elevated setting. The newer residence has been successfully operated as a short-term rental and recently ranked among the top 5% of homes in Nova Scotia on a leading vacation rental platform. For an owner interested in continuing that use, living in the main house offers the advantage of being on site while guests retain a separate residence, driveway, and outdoor space. Established gardens, flowering shrubs, mature trees, and thoughtfully placed privacy fencing create distinct outdoor spaces for each residence. Each has its own outdoor seating area overlooking the bay, while the gazebo offers another sheltered spot to watch the boats pass below and the sun set over the water. Recent improvements include a new septic tank (2021) and well pump (2024). A short walk leads to the pebble beach and working harbour, and historic Annapolis Royal, with its cafés, galleries, restaurants and renowned farmers' market, is just 25 minutes away. Whether shared with family, enjoyed with guests, or continued as a successful short-term rental, it's a place where two independent homes, established gardens, and dynamic views of the Bay of Fundy come together.
