As someone who had a roaring DJ business spinning tunes at parties of the Who’s Who in Toronto, Piers Baker was told he was “crazy” in 2013, when he and his wife pushed the off button on their life in the big city and moved to Chester.

You Could Live Here!

1565 East Port L’Hebert, East Port L’Hebert, Nova Scotia

OK…this is a project with a lot of potential! A separate cabin you can live in while you work on the former church. Super cool, close to a couple Provincial Parks and walking distance to sandy beaches…this could be someone’s dream property. Did I mention all of this is only $39 000!

Former church built in 1913 sitting on 21,000 sq. ft. lot has a new metal roof but is in need of renovations. There is also a nicely finished, more recently constructed cabin (8’2 x 12’3) which sits on a new concrete pad (11’8 x 24’9). A second outbuilding (8′ x 6′) houses a composting toilet. There is currently no well or septic. The property fronts on a municipal road with immediate access to electric and phone utilities. Located on Nova Scotia’s south shore and backing onto property owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada. This area is inhabited by many international cottagers, is close to parks (Thomas Raddall Provincial Park and Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct), the Sandy Bay Nature Reserve, and The Harrison Lewis Coastal Discovery Centre. It is within walking distance of sandy beaches and the fishing port of East Port L’Hebert (think lobster).
