Property Description
Perched just seconds from the iconic Cape Forchu Lighthouse, this picture-perfect seaside home offers a rare blend of coastal beauty and local history. Overlooking Yarmouth Harbour, you’ll enjoy the daily rhythm of fishing boats, seabirds overhead, and unforgettable sunsets. Known as The Cunningham House, this property carries a story as remarkable as its setting. Built in 1950 by Herbert Cunningham—chief lightkeeper of Cape Forchu for over 30 years—it was thoughtfully placed on an elevated lot chosen for its shelter and commanding views of both the harbour and lighthouse. Herbert and his wife Grace raised their family at the lighthouse, creating decades of memories tied to sea life and community. Inside, historic charm meets modern updates. A refreshed kitchen anchors the main level, complemented by a formal dining room, inviting living space, and convenient powder room. Upstairs offers three spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Extensively maintained, the home features a durable metal roof, freshly painted exterior, and bright, updated interior—move-in ready while preserving its timeless appeal. A paved driveway leads to a spacious, wired garage—ideal for vehicles, a workshop, or coastal storage. Outside, one of Nova Scotia’s most captivating settings awaits. A short stroll brings you to John’s Cove, while nearby Yarmouth Bar and Fisherman's Wharf offer iconic buoy displays and panoramic views. Adding to its charm, the home was once locally known for its own “buoy tree,” a nod to the region’s deep-rooted fishing culture. Whether you’re seeking a seaside retreat, year-round home, or a property with a story to tell, The Cunningham House is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Cape Forchu’s living history.
