About Denma Farm

The country road to Tatamagouche passes a horse farm and climbs the Cobequid mountain ending at this unique 165 acre property. Pass over the creek as you enter the drive and are welcomed by the pear and apple trees surrounding the house. When you turn off the car engine, this will be the last engine you hear as you tune into the cricket and birdcalls of a Nova Scotia summer.

The sight of eagles might startle on your morning walk through the fields and woods. For a lunchtime swim, indulge yourself in one of the four spring-fed ponds, or answer the call of the sea, a short drive away. For cocktails, sit on the deck and listen to the brook while you plan your next hike to the waterfalls or an outing to one of the nearby championship golf courses.

A cool evening suggests a fire in the wood stove while you prepare dinner in the open concept kitchen and living area of the Denma Farmhouse. Perhaps you'll cook a trout fished from one of the four ponds, or a lobster from the pound in River John. Dessert could be a berry pie—blackberry, raspberry or blueberry—from those you picked on your afternoon walk.

Top off the day with a long soak in the jacuzzi as moonlight streams through the window. Fall asleep to the songs of bullfrogs and owls.

Denma Farm was totally renovated in 2000 and provides comfortable, simple elegance for up to 10 people in 1,950 square feet. The 165 acre property is surrounded by miles of woodland and fields providing for unlimited exploring. Its hilltop location offers a panoramic view ending at the Northumberland Strait.

The house has 3 double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom and 1.5 baths on the second floor. There is a separate suite, with a couch that folds out to a queen-sized bed for 2 people on the ground floor with its own kitchen and bath.
