Location
Bear River Millyard                  Bear River
Tides, wineries, Mi’kmaq culture and artist studios: that is Bear River in a nutshell. Its unique location on a tidal river, nestled in a valley gives it an ‘out of this world’ feel. This little village offers a different pace of life. There are no traffic lights, no fast food restaurants, no big box stores and people have time for a chat. Historical and modern-day references to this village include “The most unique community in Nova Scotia”; “The Switzerland of Nova Scotia” and “Village on Stilts”. Mouth of the River empties into the Digby gut and into the infamous Bay of Fund.
​
​
Located on the West Bank of the Bear River about 2 minute walk to town. The 5 Acre Site seems cascade down and float in the river as if it is one with it. Such a secluded site to take in the tranquility of this Ancient Tidal River but close enough to town to go out for a coffee, drinks or bite to eat.
