00:01Quaint fishing villages, panoramic ocean views,
00:05surf, sand, waves, and tides.
00:09For people all around the world,
00:11the coastal dream is just a move away.
00:18We're going to find exactly what it is that's meant to be.
00:21So that's like a non-negotiable, the ocean.
00:23Yeah, the ocean's non-negotiable.
00:24I'm Misty.
00:25And I'm Derek.
00:26We are dying to have our house on the ocean,
00:29and we are looking to make that dream come true.
00:31That didn't sound like you're dying.
00:33Derek and I met when we were both working at a hotel
00:37in London, Ontario.
00:39And I remember getting on the elevator
00:41and he was in his little tuxedo, clean cut, and...
00:44And let's not kid ourselves.
00:46I was oozing machismo, Derek.
00:48Yeah.
00:49So...
00:50We've been married for 23 years.
00:52And together for 26.
00:55We've got two dogs.
00:56Shadow is our rescued golden retriever,
00:58and Olivia Grace is our Bernese mountain dog.
01:01They're our calm and our...
01:03Chaos.
01:04Our chaos at the same time.
01:06We live in southwestern Ontario.
01:09And water is calling us because it's such a powerful entity.
01:15There's something.
01:16There's a call there.
01:18Nova Scotia.
01:19Atlanta, Canada's ocean playground.
01:22I'm like, doesn't that sound like a great place to go?
01:24Like, who doesn't want to live in a playground?
01:26I've never been, but you know, where's the adventure in that?
01:30I started my career in law in 1999.
01:35I ended up getting sick in 2011.
01:37I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
01:39And this started a healing journey for me that got me inspired to look at doing yoga retreats, trainings.
01:46It was probably within a year that I left law and just devoted myself solely to moving into my yoga, getting into Reiki and energetics in the body.
01:56Water represents to me that deep connection to everything around me.
01:59And I think Derek is sort of coming into that as well.
02:03We're moving to where our hearts, you know, are going to sing louder than they do now.
02:09So I'm getting emotional now. Sorry.
02:14So the wishlist for the new house is ocean view, but also that we're able just to walk right to the ocean.
02:20To be able to dip my feet into the North Atlantic and, yeah, and just be in the water.
02:26Also on the wishlist is open concept.
02:28I like to have that energy of flow.
02:30Yeah, we love a house with lots of windows just to bring that outside in.
02:34And spare room for guests when family comes to visit.
02:38And I'd like the fireplace.
02:40Of course.
02:41The dogs, I'm sure they'd agree with me as well that they would be happy with a nice front porch so we can sit out there on the steps and just watch life go by.
02:49I would love to have a space where I can teach yoga.
02:52Definitely privacy. Just be able to breathe.
02:57The budget that we've talked about is $550K.
03:01Because we want to be completely mortgage free. No more banks. And that's the goal.
03:07100%.
03:09We listed our house and it sold in a week. This is it. Crunch time.
03:13So we are going to Nova Scotia and we will find what we're looking for right off the hop.
03:19Our agent is Kevin and we found him online.
03:24We just know that we're in good hands. We feel comfortable. After the first video chat we're like, he's the right one.
03:30Misty reached out to me because she knew that I specialized in helping Ontarians get to Nova Scotia because I did the move myself.
03:37We are so excited to start the search. We're so excited to get there, to feel what it's like in Nova Scotia. To feel the energy.
03:44Can't wait. Never been this excited in my life, let me tell you.
03:48So today we're in the community of Blanche. We're 30 minutes in either direction to either Shelburne or Barrington.
03:55Buyers love this community because it's private, there's acreage, there's ocean views and it's peaceful.
04:01So this house for Misty and Derek, I think really checks a lot of boxes for them. It's 10 acres.
04:07I think they're really going to like the house and we'll see how they feel about it.
04:11Good morning. Welcome to Nova Scotia.
04:13Hi Kevin.
04:14How are you?
04:15Those eyes are even more brilliant than they looked online.
04:18Oh, thank you very much.
04:19This is beautiful.
04:21This is beautiful, but that drive down here.
04:24A little rough coming in.
04:26It's pretty rural.
04:27Excellent.
04:28But to get here, wow.
04:31This view is unbelievable.
04:33And this porch.
04:34This porch.
04:35Look at this porch.
04:36That cedar shake.
04:37Gorgeous wrap around porch.
04:39I'm excited.
04:40Oh gosh, so am I.
04:42This is the first house I'm taking Misty and Derek to.
04:45It's a four bedroom and two bathroom home.
04:47There's 1630 square feet of living space on 10 and a half acres of land.
04:53And it has ocean frontage.
04:55And it's listed at $545,000, slightly under their budget.
05:01I mean, it's wild and it's just so rugged.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Much like myself, Kevin.
05:07Well, I'm glad you're here.
05:08We've got a great first house to look at.
05:10You want to get started?
05:11Yes.
05:12Sounds great.
05:14Oh my goodness.
05:16Look at this.
05:17Look at this.
05:19Isn't it great?
05:20Total cottage vibes as soon as you walk in.
05:23I love this wood stove.
05:25The centerpiece.
05:26I think it's so beautiful.
05:27Yeah, it's great.
05:28Like that stone is unbelievable, Kevin.
05:30The stones on the back of the fireplace actually came from the shoreline.
05:34That's unbelievable.
05:35And look at all these views.
05:37I see ocean, ocean.
05:40I know every window you look out, there's the ocean.
05:43Let's check out the kitchen as we admire these views.
05:45Oh.
05:46Oh, look at this.
05:48Nice pine paneling on the ceiling here.
05:50Yeah.
05:51I love that.
05:52I think that's like stunning.
06:02White appliances.
06:04Oh, your favorite.
06:05That's an easy upgrade with stainless steel and you could add a dishwasher while you're at it because there's not one here.
06:11She's right here.
06:12Right here.
06:13They beat me to it.
06:15Yeah.
06:16So it is a nice big space.
06:17So our dogs are with us when we're in the kitchen.
06:20Another great feature about this home.
06:22It's got a main floor bedroom and a full bathroom just down the hall here.
06:25Oh.
06:26Really?
06:27Look at this.
06:28Isn't that something?
06:29Oh my goodness.
06:30Wow.
06:31Look at the paneling.
06:32And this banister.
06:33So upstairs here we have three bedrooms and a full bathroom.
06:36Oh.
06:37A little bit quaint.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Small.
06:40But over here we've got the primary with these ocean views.
06:43Wow.
06:44Wow.
06:45Look at the view.
06:46Isn't it stunning from three sides of the room?
06:48Yes.
06:49Look at that.
06:50This is absolutely unbelievable.
06:51Absolutely beautiful.
06:53And it's huge.
06:54Wow.
06:55It's massive.
06:56I can just imagine waking up here in the mornings.
06:58Listen to the birds out the window.
07:00Yeah.
07:01To the birds, to the wildlife.
07:03So big open space here.
07:04Yeah.
07:05We've also got the full basement downstairs.
07:07Wow.
07:08This is huge.
07:10Definitely spacious.
07:11Yeah.
07:12It's definitely spacious.
07:13So here's what I'm thinking for this space you guys.
07:16Yoga studio.
07:17We've got the high ceilings.
07:18A wide open space.
07:20We've got the separate entrance here with the walkout.
07:22So your clients can come in and don't have to go through the house.
07:25It's going to put us over budget though.
07:27How do you feel about that?
07:28I don't think it's a small project to make this into a yoga studio.
07:32We would really have to do some work.
07:33But I can see it.
07:34I think it would be perfect.
07:35Well, it's nice.
07:36But the thing is, other than down here for storage, we don't have anything outside.
07:43Or you could build a garage.
07:44You could build a garage.
07:46There goes the budget.
07:47Yeah.
07:48So lots to talk about.
07:49Why don't we go outside and do that?
07:51Take in those ocean views.
07:52Mm-hmm.
07:53Isn't that something?
07:56Very calm right now as well.
07:57Yeah.
07:58This is amazing.
07:59I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, like how beautiful it is.
08:03So list price $545,000.
08:06We're $5,000 below budget, but we still have the yoga possibility to consider.
08:10Just thinking now, talking about this driveway and this roadway, is it going to be an issue
08:15for students to come and be able to access like all year round?
08:20Right.
08:21Especially in the winters, things like that.
08:23So I think that that's a lot to think about.
08:26And then it's still a lot of land.
08:28Well, maybe it would be good, you know, if we could see something that's got, you know,
08:32less land and maybe something that's closer to amenities.
08:35So if we're going closer to town, it may not be as private.
08:38Are you open to that?
08:39Yeah, definitely.
08:40Definitely.
08:41I think I've got something in mind for you for tomorrow, so I'll do some work tonight.
08:44We'll get it booked.
08:45See you in the morning.
08:46Sounds great, Kevin.
08:47Thanks, Kevin.
08:48We'll see you then.
08:49Have a good night.
08:50For me and Derek, we're going to focus on a little bit less acreage and something that's
08:53a little bit closer to amenities.
08:58Today we're in Barrington.
08:59It's the lobster capital of Canada.
09:01Buyers love the area because we've got ocean views, we've got privacy, we've got nature,
09:06and we've got amenities.
09:08This house suits up well for Derek and Misty, I think.
09:11We do have the ocean views still, but a little bit less maintenance.
09:15Morning.
09:16How are we doing today?
09:17Good.
09:18How are you, Kevin?
09:19Very well, thank you.
09:20So we're going to shift gears a bit today.
09:22Smaller acreage, a little closer to the road.
09:24Derek, what do you think?
09:25Yeah.
09:26I can't hear you.
09:27It's a stunning view.
09:29It's so beautiful.
09:30I just really wish we were closer.
09:32Right.
09:33The second house I'm taking Misty and Derek to has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
09:38There's 1,658 square feet of living space and beautiful ocean views, and it's listed
09:44at $450,000.
09:46It's below their budget.
09:48The house inside is really great.
09:50I think you guys will like it.
09:51Yeah.
09:52Lots of space.
09:53Is there any space?
09:55For my yoga?
09:56There's not a space like exterior building for your yoga, but there is room to add one
10:00in the back.
10:01And because we're well under budget, $100,000 under budget, there's potential for that.
10:05Okay.
10:06Yeah.
10:07All right.
10:08Yeah.
10:09Let's check it out.
10:10Let's go.
10:11Hey.
10:12Oh, wow.
10:13This is great.
10:15Nice and bright.
10:16So you guys, like we have this great bathroom here on the main floor.
10:20It's got laundry as well.
10:21Oh yeah.
10:22I love this bathroom.
10:23That's amazing.
10:24And the living room's right over there.
10:25Okay.
10:26I love this.
10:27Oh my God.
10:28I love this.
10:29Here.
10:30Look at this.
10:31Look at this space.
10:32It's like so open.
10:33Open concept for sure.
10:34Got the vinyl plank flooring for the dogs.
10:36Unfortunately, it doesn't look like to be checked the box on a fireplace right now.
10:40But it looks like we could put one in.
10:42You could add one back in.
10:43Yeah.
10:44Okay.
10:45Well, there you go.
10:46Oh my God.
10:47I love it.
10:48Nice and airy.
10:49Just good vibes.
10:50Great vibes.
10:51Yeah.
10:52Beams are calling me.
10:53I am heading into the kitchen.
10:55Wow.
11:06Wow.
11:07Look at that view.
11:08Look at this.
11:09Now we're talking.
11:10So the view, like right the moment you walk into the kitchen, out looking at the ocean.
11:13It's beautiful.
11:14Nice fresh vibes.
11:16Just a nice flow.
11:17And that openness here.
11:19And these high ceilings.
11:20Yeah.
11:21Light and bright.
11:22Yeah.
11:23Fully renovated kitchen too.
11:24We've got quartz countertops.
11:25Yeah.
11:26Center island.
11:27And the appliances.
11:28Yeah.
11:29Yeah.
11:30Stainless steel unlike the one from yesterday.
11:31Yeah.
11:32We got this main floor bedroom which would be great for company.
11:34I love it.
11:36Oh my goodness.
11:37Let's go up these stairs and check out upstairs.
11:40I can't wait.
11:41Well, if it's anything like downstairs.
11:43So what we've got up here is three bedrooms and a full bathroom.
11:48Look at this bathtub and the view of the ocean.
11:52Check out the live edge.
11:54Perfect.
11:55Nice.
11:56Wow.
11:57Ooh.
11:58That's nice.
11:59A little tight there.
12:00You guys want to have a look at the primary?
12:02Yeah.
12:03Yeah.
12:04Check it out.
12:05Oh boy.
12:06I'm gonna bang the old noggin there.
12:07This is a little low in the ceiling.
12:09Ceilings are low.
12:10House built 1900.
12:11Okay.
12:12And it's not as big as yesterday's.
12:15No.
12:16And another thing.
12:18There's no ocean view.
12:19Right.
12:20We do have a view of the road though.
12:22Yeah.
12:23So it's just a little harder with this one because I really want to wake up to ocean views.
12:28Right.
12:29I know you both are all about vibes.
12:30Yeah.
12:31Yeah.
12:32Why don't you go check out the house, explore a little bit and then come find me outside.
12:34Yeah.
12:35Sounds good.
12:36Sounds good.
12:37Oh wow.
12:38Look at this.
12:39This porch wraps all the way around.
12:42Very beautiful views here, that water.
12:45I know.
12:46Look at the way it shimmers.
12:47It's beautiful.
12:48What's the most important thing, right?
12:51Yeah.
12:52So I think there's a lot to think about.
12:53Yeah.
12:54There's definitely a lot to think about.
12:55Yeah.
12:56Because we have to think there's no place for me to do, like teach and share yoga with people.
13:00Right.
13:01For what we're going to save here.
13:04I mean, budget wise, I mean, there's definitely some potential.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Why don't we see if Kevin's got some suggestions?
13:11Why don't we figure out where he's at?
13:12Okay.
13:13Let's go find him.
13:14All right.
13:17Look at the view.
13:18I love it.
13:19So what do we think?
13:20Some feedback?
13:21So we love the house, love the interior.
13:24It's amazing.
13:25But we were just chatting about yoga.
13:27We've got an awesome spot here.
13:29We could build a structure for yoga.
13:31Keep all your gardens and things down here.
13:33Yeah.
13:34Because we'd want to build it so that it could have like indoor outdoor space.
13:37That it could be used year round.
13:39Right.
13:40I mean, anything is doable, especially with the amount of money we're going to save.
13:43So for tomorrow's property, we've seen two now.
13:46What would you like me to focus on?
13:47A little more acreage, I think.
13:49I think we want to have a little more space.
13:51A little more space.
13:52Okay.
13:53All right.
13:54Sure.
13:55I've got something great in mind.
13:56I think you're going to like it.
13:57I'm going to book it tonight and see you tomorrow.
13:59Sounds great, Kevin.
14:00That's great.
14:01Thanks, Kevin.
14:02Bye.
14:03Today, we're in Churchover on the south shore of Nova Scotia.
14:09Buyers love the area because we've got oceanfront properties.
14:12We've got coastal.
14:13We've got lots of beaches along the south shore.
14:16We're close to Shelburne, so we've got all the amenities.
14:19And really, it's the privacy and the ocean air.
14:21That's what the other province buyers love.
14:24So this house meets Misty and Derek's wish list because they're looking for a little bit of acreage.
14:28Oceanfront is certainly important to them.
14:31Really, it's about the land and the connection for them.
14:34Good morning, guys.
14:35Good morning.
14:36Good morning, Kevin.
14:37How are you?
14:38Very good.
14:39What do you think so far of the drive in?
14:40The view.
14:41I've got the view.
14:42Yeah, it's beautiful.
14:43I love it.
14:44Yeah, it's nice.
14:45We've got a couple of boats out there maybe fishing this morning.
14:47What have we got for acreage, Kev?
14:492.1 acres here.
14:50Very nice.
14:52Today, I'm taking Misty and Derek to see a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home.
14:56There's 2,329 square feet of living space, and it has stunning ocean views.
15:02The house sits on just over 2.1 acres of land, and it's under their budget at $489,000.
15:11So there is a two-car garage, a detached one around the corner here.
15:14I think it would make a great studio.
15:16Don't have to put up another building.
15:17That'd be all right.
15:18Yeah, for sure.
15:19That'd be amazing.
15:20We've got the open concept inside that you guys want.
15:22No porch?
15:23No porch.
15:24Sun porch.
15:25Oh.
15:26So we do have a porch.
15:27Want to go and take a look?
15:28Yes.
15:29All right.
15:30Let's go.
15:31Let's check it out.
15:32Okay.
15:33After you guys.
15:34Oh.
15:35Well, this is nice.
15:36It is.
15:37Oh, wow.
15:38Check this out.
15:39Look at this view.
15:40Waking up to that view.
15:41And this open space, dear.
15:43Yeah.
15:44It's beautiful.
15:45And the wood.
15:46Look at the wood paneling.
15:47Got a nice wood stove there.
15:48The kitchen is great, actually.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Let's go.
15:52Oh, wow.
15:53Look at this.
15:54I love the cupboards.
15:55Not sure about the counters.
15:56It's a lot of blue.
15:57And that's weird that the sink is over there.
16:10And that's weird that the sink is over there.
16:13Yeah.
16:14Maybe rejig and put that sink over here.
16:16Just to create better flow.
16:17Yeah.
16:18Like, I feel it's a bit disjointed right now.
16:20One of the great things about this house is the formal sitting room over here.
16:23I think there's lots of potential to take out that wall and even make a bigger kitchen
16:27if you wanted to.
16:28It's like a whole other room.
16:30To create upstairs, though, you guys, we've got three bedrooms.
16:33We've got a full bathroom.
16:34Let's go check that out.
16:35Oh, wow.
16:36It's a lot bigger than it seems from the outside, isn't it?
16:39Yeah.
16:40It's way bigger.
16:41Let's go look at the primary.
16:42All right.
16:43Oh, it's a little smaller than I'd hoped.
16:47I mean, I definitely need a little bit more space.
16:51And we've got the ocean views.
16:52Yes, I do like the ocean views.
16:54So the detached garage, I think it would make a great yoga studio.
16:58You guys should go and check it out and then catch up with me outside.
17:01Oh, wow.
17:06Look at it.
17:07I love it.
17:08It's huge.
17:09It could totally work for a yoga space.
17:12I mean, I can definitely see the possibilities here.
17:14Just clean up the floor and you could probably host, like, at least 15 people here.
17:19Yeah.
17:20Not a big project.
17:21Not at all.
17:22Maybe we should go find Kevin.
17:23Yeah, let's do that.
17:24Okay.
17:25Let's go.
17:26It's so beautiful here.
17:28It's all about that view, baby.
17:29So what do you guys think about the garage?
17:31It'd be great for yoga space, right?
17:32Yeah.
17:33I think it's beautiful.
17:34There's so much space in there.
17:35We're under budget.
17:36$489,000.
17:38Lots to think about.
17:39Maybe too much.
17:42You've shown us, like, some amazing houses.
17:44For sure.
17:45I mean, it's all about the vibes and how we feel in the space.
17:49I'm here to help.
17:50Any questions you have, just reach out.
17:52Really appreciate it.
17:53Thanks, Kevin.
17:54All right.
17:55Can you believe we're actually doing this?
17:59No.
18:00It's like, what took us so long?
18:02If we're waking up to something like this every day, I don't think we could ask for anything
18:07more.
18:08I know.
18:09So, number one.
18:10Salty Cedar.
18:12Views and access to that ocean.
18:15Then we have that beautiful porch.
18:18Lots of room for the dogs to run around.
18:20And the primary bedroom.
18:22So beautiful.
18:23You got 180 degrees worth of views.
18:26And so at $545,000, we're still under budget.
18:30We would still have to do something for the yoga space.
18:33But let's look at house number two.
18:37Farmhouse Bay.
18:39The kitchen.
18:40That was beautiful.
18:41And that porch.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Being able to look at the ocean from there.
18:45I mean, it would be nice if the proximity to the ocean were a little bit closer.
18:49So at $450,000, this house is $100,000 under budget.
18:54And then there's no place for yoga.
18:56So we would have to build a structure.
18:58The possibilities are limitless.
19:00I know.
19:01I know.
19:02It's so hard.
19:03So let's talk about third house.
19:05Emerald Shores.
19:07There's more property.
19:08Yes.
19:09In closer proximity to the ocean.
19:11I mean, it had the sun porch, but it didn't have the outside porch that we were hoping for.
19:15But that great room was beautiful.
19:17Yeah.
19:18It felt so big.
19:20The two-car garage.
19:21Like, that could turn into such a beautiful yoga space.
19:24You know, we're still coming in under budget.
19:26Because, I mean, the place was...
19:28$489,000.
19:29$489,000.
19:30Yeah.
19:31And then the money we could use that we come in under budget is to renovate the house to make it our own.
19:35So.
19:36So, I think we know.
19:38I agree.
19:39Great minds think alike.
19:40I know.
19:41We've always been in alignment, haven't we?
19:42We have.
19:43For the most part.
19:45Oh, I'm so happy.
19:49We are the proud owners of...
19:51Salty Cedar!
19:54We love it here.
19:56This was totally our dream home.
19:58The house was listed at $545,000.
20:01And we chose to just offer that asking price.
20:05Every day is a gift.
20:07Being able to walk to the ocean and then the woods behind us couldn't have been more perfect for us.
20:12The dogs love the ocean.
20:14Olivia used to hate water and now she, like, will not get out of the water when we're on the beach.
20:18What are you doing?
20:19What are you doing?
20:20So handsome.
20:22We love being able to come out, sit on the porch, have our coffee, journal.
20:26But we really love coming out and seeing the full moon.
20:29And the stars out here are insane.
20:32And I love to just sit on the porch and look at the water.
20:35I love that the porch has space for me to do my yoga and being able to look at the water while I'm doing yoga.
20:41So it's a beautiful opportunity.
20:44So we really thought that the basement could be a space where I teach yoga.
20:47So we're looking at how we can renovate that or even teach outside right now when the weather's okay.
20:53We have absolutely no regrets moving here.
20:56It has been a dream come true from the moment we landed.
20:59To the energetic pull that brought us here.
21:01And the place that called us home.
