From the house you have direct access to the terrace and a panoramic lake view. The sunsets are unforgettable.

When building the chalet, sustainability was important and many building materials were used directly from the property, for example the natural stone wall behind the stove was created with stones from the property or the outside facade and the wooden element inside are made of wood from the trees that fell to create the access road had to be.

LOCATION

The chalet stands on a 270,000 m² natural lake plot and has more than 2,500 m of private waterfront. Seven private islands are also included.

From Halifax International Airport (which is flown to from Germany by Condor from April to October, for example), it is about two hours to the Dean Lake Chalet. Beforehand you will pass Bridgewater, where there are several large supermarkets and a small shopping mall. Likewise, up to 15 minutes from the house you can reach Caledonia, where there is a supermarket, a gas station, a café / restaurant, a liquor store, a post office, a bank, and much more. This short distance between pure nature and shopping is rather rare for Canadian standards.

The location of the Dean Lake Chalet is particularly ideal for everyone who wants to discover southern Nova Scotia from here. It is only about 45 minutes to the cities of Liverpool and Bridgewater on the south coast or to the Bay of Fundy. It is just under 60 minutes to the UNESCO World Heritage city of "Lunenburg". The Kejimkujik National Park is only 20 minutes away by car and Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, is at least 1.5 hours away.

lake

Dean Lake is perhaps one of the most beautiful lakes in Nova Scotia. It goes directly into the somewhat larger Mc Gowan Lake, in which there are other small islands. The lake conveys a real Canada feeling, because the shore is hardly built on: pure nature!

We recommend an extensive canoe and kayak tour, which is available to our guests to discover the interconnected lakes. The many small islands offer the perfect place to take a break in between. There is even a picnic bench on one of the seven private islands that belong to the property.

Fortunately, you will hardly find noisy motor boats, jet skis or even seaplanes. From the sundeck and from the house you have a beautiful lake view and can calmly enjoy the day on the water. In summer the water is warm enough to swim and in winter the lake is often frozen over.

wildlife

Due to the distance of approx. 12 km as the crow flies to Kejimkujik National Park, the wildlife and animal density is high. Since the cottage is also surrounded by nature, with a little luck you can spot white-tailed deer, raccoon, skunk or porcupine in the forest. Squirrels and chipmunks come to the terrace. At the lake you will also find the well-known bald eagles, Canada geese or the specially protected loons, which are among the ice divers and are depicted on the Canadian one-dollar coin.
