Nova Scotia Lifestyle Businesses

What is a Nova Scotia Lifestyle Business?  According to Wikipedia, “a lifestyle business is a business that is set up and run by its founders primarily with the aim of sustaining a particular level of income and no more; or to provide a foundation from which to enjoy a particular lifestyle”.  In Nova Scotia, these businesses are often family run, and/or tourism related. 

Useable Waterfront like the saltwater Lahave River, in Bridgewater
Also, creative endeavors are able to be grown by an individual, and “typically have limited scalability and potential for growth because such growth would destroy the lifestyle for which their owner-managers set them up. However, lifestyle businesses can and do win awards and provide satisfaction to their owners and customers.”

An example of such a Lifestyle business is the Harbourview B&B in Cape Breton. 

On the waterfront side of the property, there are an additional 6 fully winterized, suites housed in modular buildings. Each suite has a queen size bed, a double pull out bed in the sitting area, a small kitchenette with microwave and fridge, 4 piece bathroom (toilet, sink, tub with shower), and satellite TV.
Outside the house, the huge deck has been enclosed; guests and locals will soon be able to enjoy morning coffees and lobster suppers in the cozy comfort of this Oceanside space.

With its proximity to local colleges, Harbourview is able to rent out its motel units to students on a weekly or monthly basis; this is especially beneficial during the off-season time periods; in short, these units provide a steady source of income throughout the year. There is also a view lot across the street, which includes an income-generating bungalow; and, behind the house, a separate parcel of undeveloped property is available to allow for expansion. Just imagine the potential of this fabulous lifestyle business!
Built by Embree Shipbuilders in 1880, this 222 square metre heritage home, appropriately named Captain James Embree House, not only stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the day, but as a rich legacy of Nova Scotia’s maritime culture. Harbourview is located in the town of Port Hawkesbury, which lies at the bridge way between mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton; as such, it is a popular place to stay not only for travellers, but also for those who have business within Nova Scotia. Harbourview is centrally located within walking distance of the town centre, the waterfront boardwalk, pubs, restaurants, banking, and shopping.
"This 4-bedroom heritage home offers you and your guests plenty of cosy and charming living space. Every immaculately kept room has bead board floors which have retained their original colour and patina. This is not surprising, given that the high traffic floor areas have been covered with antique floor cloths, and that the house has changed hands only five times in the past 128 years. There have been many upgrades inside the house, including updated bathrooms and a new electrical system".

(Ohhhhh  the views from the oceanfront facing side of the property!)
And just FYI, the neighbouring home you see on the Google streetview, is no longer there!
