00:01Quaint fishing villages, panoramic ocean views,
00:05surf, sand, waves, and tides.
00:08For people all around the world,
00:11the coastal dream is just a move away.
00:19So, baby, we are doing it.
00:22We're moving.
00:23Yes.
00:24Finally.
00:25Yeah, it's pretty exciting.
00:26I'm Janaya.
00:27And I'm Benoit.
00:28We've known each other for over 25 years.
00:30We've been together for five and married for one.
00:33We retired from the military,
00:35and we're ready to start our lives anew
00:38and finding a nice property on the East Coast.
00:42So, we have two children living with us.
00:44So, Sandler is 16.
00:45He is quiet.
00:47And our nine-year-old, Ava,
00:48she is quite the spunky little girl,
00:50takes after her mom, I would think.
00:53And she is looking to have a lot of space to play.
00:56Yeah.
00:57Being in the military,
00:58we have worked together a lot.
01:01Ben asked me to go ice fishing,
01:03which I had never done before.
01:05We went ice fishing,
01:06and I fell in love.
01:08Yes.
01:09Why we're moving is that we feel
01:11there'll be more support in Nova Scotia for us
01:14than staying in a big, busy city like Montreal.
01:17We retired from the military,
01:18and now we're ready to take it to the next step.
01:20And we think that this is now finally the time
01:22that we can choose a home
01:24that suits our needs for our family.
01:25Yes.
01:28East Coast is a different way of living.
01:30It's a lot slower.
01:32It's much more relaxed.
01:33Family and friends,
01:34people stop by and come in your home.
01:37And with my family being in Nova Scotia,
01:39we really hope to be a little bit closer to them
01:41and have some more support,
01:42be able to go out for some lobster,
01:45those type of things.
01:47That sounds delicious.
01:49With butter, garlic butter.
01:52I absolutely love the beach.
01:55It is a sacred place for me.
01:57We would love to be able to walk on the beach once a week.
02:00I'm getting chills just thinking of that.
02:02And the ocean's alive.
02:05Every day it brings you something different,
02:07sometimes very roaring.
02:08Sometimes it's dead quiet,
02:10and it talks like it screams when it's quiet
02:12because you're used to hear it roar all the time.
02:14The different smells.
02:15It brings like little clouds of mist.
02:17It's very magical.
02:18So I love the ocean for that.
02:20Yeah.
02:22For our new home,
02:23what we're looking for is ocean view would just be beautiful.
02:28Enough bedrooms for everyone.
02:29Private place for the both of us.
02:31Like a parental oasis when we come in there.
02:33Oasis.
02:34I like it.
02:35I would like a flow of the home to be open concept
02:39just to allow the children and us to see each other more.
02:42For me, it would be very important to hear the ocean.
02:46And for the kids, I think it would be lovely if we have water access.
02:50I would really love to have a beautiful en suite bathroom with a bathtub.
02:53Turnkey.
02:54We're looking for no renovations.
02:56With our budget between $900 and $1.2 million,
02:59I know it sounds like a lot,
03:01but this is really our forever home that we've been dreaming of.
03:04So, and maybe available in that budget.
03:08Well, maybe I can input a little walk-in closet.
03:11Right, darling?
03:12Yes, absolutely.
03:14Happy wife, happy life.
03:16Our real estate agent is named Tanya.
03:19She is from Yarmouth.
03:21She's from the area.
03:21So I think she's a good real estate agent for us.
03:25We are so excited to get to Nova Scotia,
03:28get our feet on the ground,
03:29our toes in the sand,
03:30and start finding our dream home.
03:31It's a huge decision,
03:32so yeah, I'm very excited.
03:34A bit nervous for spending that much money, but excited.
03:38Today we are in Port Maitland.
03:40Buyers love this area because of the spectacular views.
03:44We are close to amenities,
03:46and you get the best bang for your buck here.
03:50Hi, Tanya.
03:51Hi, good morning.
03:52Nice to meet you.
03:52Nice to meet you.
03:53Nice to finally meet you.
03:54Are you excited for your day?
03:55Absolutely.
03:56So excited.
03:57Okay, great.
03:58The first house I'm taking, Jenea and Benoit too,
04:01has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
04:04There is 2,222 square feet of living space,
04:07and it's right on the ocean.
04:09It's listed for $899,000.
04:13It's below their budget.
04:15I do know the beach here that you can see right there.
04:17It's gorgeous.
04:18We used to come here,
04:19so I know it's about 30 minutes away from my parents.
04:22Okay.
04:22Which is okay.
04:23A little bit out of the way, but I'm really excited.
04:25So shall we go take a look?
04:26Absolutely.
04:26After you.
04:28Go first, Pepe.
04:34Welcome.
04:34Oh, wow.
04:36Oh, the view.
04:37Oh, my goodness.
04:38The view is amazing.
04:39Oh, the fireplace.
04:42Oh, that's beautiful.
04:43Yes, I really like it.
04:44The decor in here is gorgeous.
04:46You can tell that someone has an eye for style here.
04:48Well, it's very nautical.
04:50Yes.
04:50Nautical, beachy vibe.
04:51Yes.
04:52And just take in the beautiful view.
04:54Oh, my gosh.
04:54See the beach?
04:55The view is fantastic.
04:57Exactly.
04:57The kids could walk to the beach and we could watch them from there.
05:00Yes.
05:00Well, yeah, the kitchen looks nice.
05:02Let's go in and take a look.
05:03Yeah, sure.
05:06Stainless steel appliances.
05:08High-end countertops.
05:09Very nice.
05:10Well, everything is meticulous.
05:12This is beautiful.
05:14Well thought out.
05:14Very high-end.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Yep, it looks nice.
05:17Okay.
05:18Soft clothes.
05:20You can see the wharf and the boats from here.
05:23Oh, yeah.
05:23I like that.
05:24And what is so interesting about this home is that there's a separate kitchen down below.
05:28So this whole floor could be yours.
05:32Parental suite?
05:34Parental suite.
05:35So why don't we check out the rest of this place?
05:37Yes.
05:38All right.
05:38I love it.
05:39After you.
05:41Oh, wow.
05:43Medical look.
05:44I knew you would like that feature.
05:45And I like the cabinets.
05:47Very nice.
05:48Storage is very important.
05:50Shall we go see the primary?
05:52Let's do it.
05:52Sure.
05:54And this would be your primary bedroom.
05:57Okay.
05:57Beautiful.
05:59High ceilings.
06:00Yes, I like the high ceilings.
06:01I do notice the closet spaces are a little bit smaller than I thought.
06:06Oh, yes.
06:07Correct.
06:07There's no walk-in closet.
06:14So the primary bedroom, a walk-in closet would make it so nice.
06:19What I was envisioning is opening up the wall here.
06:23Okay.
06:23Fit your bathtub there.
06:24This will be your walk-in closet here.
06:27Move your bed towards here.
06:30Okay.
06:30This would be your bedroom window.
06:33Okay.
06:33And we would just partition it off here.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Yeah.
06:36Okay.
06:37I like it.
06:38And then the patio door right there to go on up to your deck.
06:41Okay.
06:42Would you like to have it?
06:43Yes.
06:43All right.
06:44There you go.
06:45What a gorgeous day and a gorgeous view.
06:48Oh, my goodness.
06:49We're at the beach.
06:50I knew you would enjoy this.
06:51Wow.
06:52$1,000 view right there.
06:53Absolutely.
06:55Would you like to see the lower level?
06:57Lead us.
06:58Right this way.
07:02Oh, wow.
07:03Really?
07:04It's a whole other home down here.
07:06Yes, it is.
07:07Plenty of open space here.
07:08Yeah.
07:08For entertaining.
07:09It's a great rec room.
07:11The kids would spend their time down here.
07:13Did you see the view, baby?
07:14Plenty of space.
07:15And it's a full walkout.
07:17So there's two bedrooms down here?
07:18Two bedrooms.
07:19Okay.
07:20One bath.
07:20Living area.
07:21And the kitchen is just around the corner.
07:26Wow.
07:27Very unique.
07:28This is beautiful.
07:29There's a rustic look to it.
07:32Beautiful layout down here.
07:33Lots of room for the kids.
07:34Lots of room for family.
07:36Why don't we head out to the deck?
07:38Okay.
07:38And check out the spectacular view from there.
07:40Okay.
07:40All right.
07:45Wow.
07:46Oh, my goodness, the view.
07:48Absolutely gorgeous.
07:49I love all the rose bushes.
07:50The wild rose bushes everywhere.
07:52And the fireplace.
07:53The fire pit, yes.
07:54Oh, yeah.
07:54Overall, how are you feeling about the property?
07:57I think it could definitely work for our space.
08:00The renovations, a little bit of a downfall, but still would come a lot under budget, which is very good.
08:06And a little bit closer to Zane's family would be ideal.
08:09Okay.
08:09But Bosch, it is a nice place.
08:11All right.
08:12So I have another place to view tomorrow.
08:14Okay.
08:15I'm very excited to show you.
08:16Okay.
08:17We'll see you tomorrow.
08:18Excellent.
08:21Today, we are in Hebron.
08:24Buyers love this area because of the location.
08:27It is quiet, secluded, and we do have the ocean views.
08:36Good morning.
08:37Good morning.
08:38Walking up to the house already, I see it's like an estate.
08:41The house really makes a statement as you come towards it.
08:44And I like the fans.
08:45I like the look.
08:46This is the second house I'm taking Jenea and Benoit too.
08:50It's a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home.
08:52There is 5,452 square feet of living space, and it has ocean access.
08:58And it's listed at $1.2 million.
09:00So right on budget.
09:02The view is very nice.
09:04Like we see the water.
09:05Beautiful water behind you.
09:05Yes, the water sounds very nice.
09:07I'm really excited to see inside.
09:08It's close to my family and on budget.
09:10Can we go in?
09:11Let's go in.
09:11Let's do it.
09:12Glad to show you.
09:16Oh, wow.
09:17Look at all this space.
09:19Yeah.
09:20Very bright.
09:21Yes, for sure.
09:21Very nice.
09:23Would you like to go see the kitchen?
09:24Absolutely.
09:25Right this way.
09:26Oh, wow.
09:28Okay, little pantry.
09:30Butler's pantry.
09:31Butler's pantry, yes.
09:32Our private chef will be here while we entertain.
09:36Oh, wow.
09:37Very nice hardware.
09:39Yes.
09:40This is really great.
09:41Mm-hmm.
09:41Oh, my goodness.
09:42Look at the view.
09:43You can see everything from here.
09:45Yeah, it's a nice big kitchen.
09:46I can see doing some cooking here.
09:48You can see the kids over there, maybe having some entertaining.
09:51The island is really neat.
09:53I like the seating for the kids, you know, eating breakfast.
09:57And then there's a full laundry suite just off the kitchen.
10:00Oh, very good.
10:01And then we have the dining area.
10:03Oh, wow.
10:05Oh, there's a sun well here.
10:06Very nice.
10:07Oh, wow.
10:08Wow.
10:08That's really neat.
10:09That's very unique.
10:10Yeah, I like that.
10:11I like that.
10:12And then we have a more sitting area here for entertaining.
10:15Okay.
10:16High ceilings.
10:17I like that.
10:18A lot brighter.
10:19It opens it up, yes.
10:19Yes.
10:20And then there's another formal sitting area.
10:23Okay.
10:23Oh, wow.
10:24This stone.
10:26This is a nice fireplace.
10:31So I like the space in here.
10:33I'm just wondering if it's maybe a little too much space.
10:37There is a lot of space here, but everything is high-end finishes, turnkey, ready to move in.
10:43So on this level has the primary, and down below will be the two bedrooms for the children.
10:48So a little bit of privacy.
10:50For parental oasis.
10:51Correct.
10:51Okay, I like that idea.
10:53So I'm excited to show you the primary.
10:54Would you like to see that?
10:56Let's do it.
10:58Oh.
10:59Welcome to the primary suite.
11:00Oh, very spacious.
11:02I like it in here.
11:04It's nice.
11:04Plenty of space for your king size bed.
11:06Absolutely.
11:07Yes.
11:08A lot of room in here.
11:09I like that there's a patio doors walking right out.
11:12Like one of my things is I wanted to hear the ocean.
11:15And because we're in a bay, I'm not hearing the waves very much.
11:18The wave as much as.
11:19No.
11:19They're pretty faint.
11:20Yes.
11:27The view is fantastic.
11:29However, it's faced on a bay.
11:32So I'm not hearing the ocean like I was hoping for.
11:35So this primary has two walk-in closets.
11:39Which one's bigger?
11:40Okay.
11:40The one over there.
11:41I'll take the other one.
11:43Well, let's check this one out.
11:47Oh, wow.
11:48That's nice.
11:49Lots of room for shoes.
11:50Yeah, it's big.
11:51Another shopping spree.
11:53And just over there is your ensuite.
11:55Oh, yes.
11:56I was waiting for that.
11:58Oh, wow.
11:59Look at that tile.
12:01Look at this shower.
12:02Massive shower.
12:03Big enough for the both of us.
12:04For sure.
12:06Soaker tub.
12:06Soaker tub.
12:07Well, that's nice, babe.
12:10So the kids have their bedrooms downstairs.
12:12I'll let you go through.
12:14Browse.
12:14Take your time.
12:15And I'll meet you outside.
12:16Okay.
12:16Thanks, Tanya.
12:22Oh.
12:23Oh, wow.
12:24Okay.
12:25This is a big room.
12:26It'll be a nice room for Sandler.
12:27Oh, it'll be perfect for Sandler.
12:29Yeah.
12:29And a lot of space to grow into.
12:30Mm-hmm.
12:31I can definitely see myself in here.
12:34Thing is, it's dated.
12:35It's about 20 years old, so the more I look at it,
12:38the more I see, we would have to tweak it.
12:40Do you want to go meet Tanya and check out the backyard?
12:42Sure.
12:42Okay.
12:42Hi, Tanya.
12:43Hi, Tanya.
12:44Hi.
12:44So we saw the rooms.
12:45How was it?
12:46I loved how we had the parental space upstairs
12:49that's separate from the kids.
12:50But it's a lot of house, a lot of grounds to keep.
12:54I think that's the issue.
12:55It has a lot to offer.
12:56It's a big home for us.
12:57So the list price is on your budget at 1.2 million.
13:01Mm-hmm.
13:01And we are close to your family.
13:03Yeah.
13:03That's great.
13:04That's positive, yes.
13:05I like the openness of this home,
13:08but maybe something a little bit smaller.
13:10Yeah.
13:10And, you know, it's a more dated home,
13:12like something, if possible, a bit more recent.
13:14So I think I have something that will work for you,
13:17so I'll set that up and we'll see you tomorrow.
13:19Excellent.
13:20See you tomorrow.
13:21Bye.
13:25Today we are here in Beaver River.
13:27It's a great location, beautiful beaches,
13:30beautiful scenery, nice and quiet,
13:32still close to amenities, but still far enough away
13:35to have your privacy.
13:39Hi there.
13:40Good afternoon.
13:41Nice to see you again.
13:42Yes, nice to see you.
13:43So you wanted it a little smaller.
13:45Yes.
13:45So I have here a brand new build on the water as well.
13:49Okay.
13:50It looks amazing.
13:52Today I'm taking Jenea and Benoit to see a three-bedroom,
13:55three-bathroom home.
13:56There is 3,000 square feet of living space
13:59and it has beautiful ocean views.
14:01It's listed at $1.25 million, just over budget.
14:07Like at the entrance?
14:08Yes.
14:08Very nice.
14:09Yes.
14:09Wow.
14:10The swooping roof line as well.
14:11Oh yeah, I didn't even notice.
14:12Very coastal.
14:14I'm curious to look inside how the view looks like.
14:16It's wonderful.
14:17Okay, good.
14:18Would you like to go take a look?
14:19Absolutely.
14:20After you.
14:26Welcome in.
14:28Wow.
14:29Oh wow.
14:30Look at the view.
14:31The view's fantastic.
14:32I don't think I've ever seen a brand new home.
14:35Yes.
14:35It's really interesting.
14:36Brand new build, plenty of cabinetry for storage.
14:40Beautiful.
14:40And then we have the kitchen here off to the left.
14:42Yeah, I think it's probably the biggest island I've seen.
14:46I love that there's a lot of storage.
14:48Like you can never have too much storage and there's so much storage everywhere.
14:51I really like that.
14:52And if you love storage, take a look at the pantry.
14:55Oh.
14:55Oh wow.
14:56I've never had a pantry.
14:57I don't think so.
14:58I can see my stand up mixer right there.
15:00Yeah.
15:01Beautiful.
15:01And I love the round window.
15:03Yeah, your round window.
15:04It's so beautiful.
15:06Yeah.
15:07That's nice.
15:08Yeah.
15:08I do notice there's no backsplash here.
15:10So we'd probably have to add some backsplash for the grease better.
15:13I like backsplash.
15:14Correct.
15:15Yeah.
15:15And I noticed there's no curtains or anything.
15:18So would we have to buy that too?
15:19Correct.
15:20Okay.
15:21And just beyond the kitchen, we have our living room.
15:23Okay.
15:25Wow.
15:25Big open concept.
15:27Look at the view of this door.
15:28Oh, it's really nice.
15:29You look outside, have a view of the movies, everyone together, maybe a coffee nook there.
15:35I can see the space working.
15:36This is a nice home.
15:38It's a really nice home.
15:39Yes.
15:39And just beyond here, we have our dining area.
15:42Okay.
15:43Yes.
15:43And there's also one bedroom downstairs, so that could be for Sandler.
15:47Yeah.
15:47And a bathroom right next door.
15:50And then also to the left here, we have an office.
15:53Okay.
15:54All right.
15:55So would you like to go on and see the upstairs?
15:57Absolutely.
15:58Yes.
15:58Okay.
16:00Gorgeous.
16:00Really nice stairs.
16:01Beautiful.
16:02Very bright.
16:03A whale light.
16:05How whimsical.
16:06I knew you would love that one.
16:07That's cute.
16:08So this would be Ava's room.
16:10And then the washroom right there.
16:12Oh, I like the tile work.
16:13And then right behind you is your primary suite.
16:17Would you like to go see it?
16:18Yes, please.
16:20Oh my goodness.
16:22Look at those views.
16:29As you walk in the bedroom, you see where you would be waking up on a Sunday morning
16:33with your coffee in hand, looking out at the beautiful ocean.
16:36It's really hard not to imagine myself in that primary suite.
16:39Wow.
16:40The view.
16:41It's a million dollar view.
16:43Correct.
16:44Come take a look.
16:45Yeah, I was wondering.
16:46At your wonderful, beautiful walk-in closet.
16:48Yes.
16:49Oh my goodness.
16:51This is nice.
16:52Hello, lover.
16:53Hi.
16:54Oh my.
16:55Look at this.
16:56Dream closet.
16:56I cannot believe this is an entire closet.
16:59I've never seen such a thing.
17:01Hey, this is really nice.
17:03Bye.
17:03Oh, look, there's even a door.
17:05Wait to see the ensuite.
17:07Okay.
17:09You first, babe.
17:11Oh my goodness.
17:13Wow.
17:13Look at this.
17:14The view again.
17:15The bath, babe, this is a perfect bathtub.
17:17I love it.
17:18My bathtub.
17:20There is a lot to take in, so take your time.
17:23Okay.
17:24And I'll just be outside waiting for you in the back.
17:26Okay.
17:27You're ready.
17:27Thank you, Tan.
17:28See you soon.
17:28Okay, bye.
17:30It has everything we need, but we have to put in curtains or window dressings.
17:35No blinds.
17:35But, you know, it's such a nice house.
17:39I want to see if there's water access.
17:41Okay.
17:41Okay.
17:42Thanks.
17:45Wow.
17:47Welcome to the beautiful view.
17:50It's gorgeous.
17:51It's stunning.
17:51It is.
17:52I love the sound of the ocean.
17:53For me, it's the sound.
17:54I hear it.
17:55It's fantastic.
17:56You're right.
17:56Can we access the water?
17:58Unfortunately, it's a bit marshy.
17:59Okay.
18:00So you would have to invest a little bit.
18:02More expenses to go through.
18:04You showed us some beautiful homes.
18:06I think maybe we'll take some time to think about it.
18:08Yes.
18:08Punch the numbers and see what might fit the best for us.
18:11Yes.
18:11For sure.
18:11Thank you, Tanya.
18:12Bye for now.
18:13Bye.
18:13Bye.
18:17Hey, babe.
18:18Well, I guess it's time for us to go through it and try to make a decision.
18:22Shall we start with the Salty Splits?
18:24The first one.
18:25Salty Splits.
18:25The view is amazing.
18:27Like right on the beach.
18:29I love the thought of watching the kids walk over the sand dune, playing in the water.
18:34It's so beautiful.
18:35Again, I'm getting chills just thinking about it.
18:37I like how we have the privacy of the upstairs.
18:40Like that could be our entire suite for us.
18:42Yes.
18:42All the decor is perfectly coastal, very Nova Scotian.
18:46And it's really under budget.
18:48It's $8.99.
18:49So should we start talking about the second house?
18:52Garden Estate.
18:53Garden Estate.
18:53First thing, I love coming up to the house.
18:56It feels exactly that.
18:57Like a garden and like an estate.
18:59So I love the look and feel.
19:01Definitely have mansion vibe.
19:03Mansion vibes.
19:03Yes.
19:04I like big, you know.
19:05Too big is not big enough, you know.
19:08But to be realistic, it's a lot of maintenance.
19:11I really like that we have a sizable room that can fit our king size bed.
19:15Two walk-in closets.
19:16A bigger one and a smaller one.
19:18Yes.
19:181.2 million.
19:19Right on the edge of our budget.
19:20And it will meet our needs.
19:22So let's talk about the third one.
19:24Let's call it turnkey ties.
19:26A turnkey ties.
19:27So it's turnkey.
19:27Yes, I've never been in a brand new home.
19:30It has a very high-end finishing.
19:32Yes.
19:32It does have a beautiful bathtub.
19:34The most amazing walk-in closet I've seen.
19:36And the swooping roof line really gave that maritime, coastal feeling.
19:41But there's a lot of little details that are not cheap.
19:45Turnkey ties is $1.25 million.
19:49I know which house I would like to make our home.
19:51I also know which home I would like.
19:53Time for a last school and a last home.
19:55We brought our lady back onto Yarmus.
20:06Well, after careful consideration, we are the proud owner of...
20:11Turnkey ties!
20:13It's the perfect home for us.
20:15The space is great.
20:16Close to the ocean.
20:17The view is amazing.
20:18It has the parental suite that we wanted.
20:20And that tub and that walk-in closet.
20:22I just couldn't say no.
20:23And it affords us to relax and slow down as a family and to be able to enjoy life together.
20:32The kids are having a great time.
20:33They love being close to their cousins and to their grandparents.
20:36We bring them over there.
20:37They have sleepovers.
20:38We have lobster suppers.
20:40Yes.
20:40So it's really great.
20:41Yeah, I really like that.
20:42The kids are enjoying going out on the water, going kayaking.
20:45They're going to the beach.
20:46Mm-hmm.
20:46And their cousins come over and they fish together.
20:49Yes, they go fishing.
20:49Mm-hmm.
20:50I'm very happy that I find solace in the parental unit.
20:54When I go in there, I feel it's my world.
20:56Mm-hmm.
20:57Like it's just perfect.
20:58For me, the next step is taking a step back, spending time with the family.
21:03To coming home to the place that's always held my heart.
21:06And to starting our new life by the sea.
21:08Perfect.
21:08.
