Just minutes from peggy's cove and under 40 minutes from halifax, this remarkable 8-acre private island offers a rare opportunity to own both land and lifestyle. Home to nova glamping, a successful tourism business with superhost status and hundreds of five-star reviews, simmons island is a proven operation ready for its next owner. The property includes a hand-crafted log cabin and three geodesic domes, each with its own wood-fired saltwater hot tub, along with shared amenities such as a sauna, campfire areas, and a beach. Guests are drawn to the peace, privacy, and authentic coastal experience this island provides. Fully turn-key and offered with all furnishings, infrastructure, and equipment in place—including the boat used to ferry guests and supplies—the island is powered by a newly installed solar system with diesel backup. With eight acres of natural landscape and strong existing brand recognition, there's outstanding potential to expand with additional accommodations, event space, or new guest experiences. Or, keep it all for yourself as your very own private oasis—an unmatched retreat in one of nova scotia's most beautiful coastal settings.
