Rare oceanfront retreat in the picturesque coastal community

Welcome to 1378 Ketch Harbour Road, a rare oceanfront retreat in the picturesque coastal community of Sambro Head. Set on a beautifully positioned property with approximately 290 feet of direct ocean frontage, this exceptional home enjoys sweeping south-facing views across a protected cove, where armor stone shoreline protection helps preserve the natural beauty of the waterfront for years to come. Offering over 2,300 square feet of finished living space, this thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home combines comfort, efficiency, and distinctive craftsmanship. The main level features soaring vaulted ceilings, an open and inviting layout, and large windows that capture stunning ocean views and an abundance of natural light. Rich bamboo flooring and tile throughout create a warm, carpet-free living environment. The custom kitchen showcases striking Brazilian zebra wood cabinetry, while unique African wenge wood accents can be found in the fireplace mantel and main bathroom vanity, adding character and sophistication to the home's interior. Comfort is assured year-round with a high-efficiency German-built Buderus boiler providing in-floor radiant heat, complemented by a new ductless mini-split heat pump installed in May 2026. The fully finished walkout basement expands the living space and offers direct access to the backyard and waterfront setting beyond. Recent upgrades provide added peace of mind, including a new roof completed in May 2026, several new main-level windows installed in June 2026, and the new heat pump system. Outside, enjoy the ever-changing coastal scenery from the deck off the main living area, launch a kayak from your protected cove, or simply relax and take in the sights and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence or a coastal escape, this unique waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Nova Scotia's shoreline lifestyle just minutes from the city.
