At its heart is The Lodge, a 9,500+ sq ft main house blending rustic charm with exquisite craftsmanship. Featuring six suites, an extravagant great room with a hand-carved bar and fireplace, movie theater, gourmet kitchen with dual Lacanche gas ranges, and so much more.

STRUM ISLAND – A Safe Haven

The story:  An American real estate developer and engineer stood on ground zero in New York City as the Twin Towers crumbled into toxic ash. America’s safety was challenged.

 

                  He drove his car to Nova Scotia where he had spent many childhood summers with his grandfather. That day he bought Strum Island and created a 10-acre sanctuary, close to Halifax, but far enough to be off the radar of a big city.

                  In a world where nothing seems secure anymore, Strum Island is a welcome refuge of sanity and safety.
