8843 215 Highway - Welcome to the Captain Douglas Home! Built in 1860 by sea captain William Douglas, this grand heritage-designated property stands as a testament to Nova Scotia’s rich shipbuilding past. Located in the picturesque village of Maitland—Nova Scotia’s first Heritage Conservation District—this historic gem is just steps from the Bay of Fundy and offers views of the famous Shubenacadie River tidal bore. Brimming with period charm, including unique architectural details and even a classic widow’s walk, the main home was once operated as a licensed restaurant and bed & breakfast. A detached 1-bedroom bungalow and 1.5-storey carriage house add versatility for future use. While the property requires significant restoration, it offers a rare opportunity to bring this historic treasure back to the glory it once knew—and the price reflects that. Whether you envision a spacious family home or a restored inn by the sea, this could be the start of something truly special.
