Maple Island

Private Island with Pristine Oceanfront

Just a five-minute boat ride from Plymouth and Amiraults Hill, Maple Island presents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional private island in one of Nova Scotia’s most breathtaking coastal settings.

Spanning 35.25 acres, the island boasts more than 6,700 feet of pristine ocean frontage, three separate PIDs, an additional smaller island off its northern tip, and a dedicated mainland wharf parcel in Argyle.

Surrounded by tranquil seaside beaches, Maple Island offers an unparalleled connection to nature. Seals can often be seen swimming offshore and basking on the rocks, while eagles nest high within the old-growth forest. The island’s untouched landscape is rich with wild roses, edible mushrooms, abundant wildlife, and endless opportunities for exploration and outdoor enjoyment.

At the heart of the island stands a beautifully crafted three-bedroom, two-bathroom post-and-beam cottage, thoughtfully designed and hand-built by a renowned shipwright. Combining timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort, the residence serves as the perfect sanctuary in this remarkable setting.

The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area features soaring ceilings, skylights, warm wood finishes, granite and butcher block countertops, custom cabinetry, marble tile flooring, and three wood-burning stoves. Nearly every window frames stunning ocean views, creating a seamless connection between the home and its natural surroundings. Handcrafted wooden French doors with transom windows open onto a screened wraparound veranda, providing exceptional indoor-outdoor living. A charming catwalk leads to a cozy loft space, ideal for additional sleeping quarters, a reading retreat, or extra storage.

The cottage benefits from a new metal roof installed in 2022, while exterior deck stairs and the wooded pathway connecting the outbuildings were updated in 2025. The property is being offered fully furnished, allowing for immediate enjoyment.

A short stroll from the main cottage leads to a character-filled bunkhouse of nearly 400 square feet, complete with bunk beds, a kitchenette, a wood-burning stove, and additional storage space—perfect for guests or extended family.
Designed for self-sufficient island living, Maple Island is equipped with generator power, a dug well with a gravity-fed water system, and a septic system.

Included in the offering is a dedicated mainland wharf parcel, providing convenient space to dock your boat, park vehicles, and store equipment and personal belongings.

While Maple Island offers complete privacy and seclusion, convenience is never far away. The included mainland wharf parcel ensures easy access to the island, and the town of Yarmouth is less than a 10-minute drive from the mainland dock, offering a full range of amenities including shopping, restaurants, healthcare services, and airport access.

Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, a legacy property for generations to come, or a unique investment opportunity, Maple Island represents a truly rare offering in Atlantic Canada’s coastal real estate market.
