Continue operating it as a luxury short-term rental
Use it as a private lakefront retreat with income potential
Add it to an existing real estate or hospitality portfolio
Expand the current villa using available two-bedroom expansion plans
Explore future expansion on the additional cleared area of the property
Discuss optional management support through the Nalu Retreat team
The Property
Set along one of the most desirable stretches of Porters Lake, the property feels peaceful, secluded, and surrounded by nature, while still being conveniently located close to Halifax, Dartmouth, the airport, beaches, trails, cafés, and Eastern Shore amenities.
The villa is a beautifully designed one-bedroom retreat under 600 square feet, created for couples, romantic getaways, anniversaries, wellness stays, and guests seeking a private escape by the water.
The property includes approximately 1.9 acres across two PIDs, approximately 150 feet of direct lake frontage, a private beach area, outdoor living spaces, and an additional cleared area that is well suited for future expansion, subject to required approvals.

Proven Guest Appeal
The Lakeside Villa has operated as part of Nalu Retreat, a luxury wellness retreat known for elevated accommodations, privacy, nature immersion, and premium guest experiences.
Guests are drawn to the villa for its rare combination of lakefront privacy, modern comfort, outdoor amenities, and peaceful retreat atmosphere. Every detail has been considered, from the indoor fireplace and private hot tub to the outdoor shower, fire pit, robes, slippers, custom scents, and private waterfront setting.
Income & Business Opportunity
The Lakeside Villa is an established, income-producing retreat asset with proven short-term rental performance as part of the Nalu Retreat portfolio.
The property has demonstrated strong guest demand, with select months generating over $10,000 in gross rental revenue.
Full revenue details, occupancy history, expense information, and booking performance can be made available to serious qualified buyers upon request.
This gives a buyer the opportunity to step into an existing short-term rental model rather than starting from scratch. The property is already guest-ready, beautifully furnished, photographed, branded, and positioned as a premium lakefront retreat.
Expansion Potential
In addition to the existing villa, the property includes an additional cleared area that is well suited for future expansion, subject to required approvals.
Plans are also available showing a proposed expansion of the current Lakeside Villa into a two-bedroom layout. This could allow a future owner to increase guest capacity, improve rental performance, and further elevate the property as a premium waterfront retreat.
The combination of existing income, turnkey operations, lakefront privacy, and future upside makes this a unique opportunity in the Porters Lake market.
Turnkey Inclusions
The Lakeside Villa is being offered as a turnkey retreat opportunity.
Key guest-facing furnishings, décor, outdoor furniture, hot tub, fire pit setup, BBQ, robes, slippers, and lifestyle pieces can be included, allowing a buyer to continue operations with minimal interruption.
This is ideal for a buyer who wants to own a premium lakefront rental asset without having to design, furnish, equip, and launch the property from scratch.
Optional Management Opportunity
For buyers interested in a more hands-off investment, there may be an opportunity to discuss continued management support through the Nalu Retreat team.
This could allow the new owner to benefit from the existing guest experience, operational knowledge, and brand alignment while retaining ownership of the property.
Management structure, revenue split, responsibilities, and terms would be discussed separately with qualified buyers.
Location
Located in Porters Lake, Nova Scotia, the Lakeside Villa offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.
The property feels private and removed, yet remains close to Halifax, Dartmouth, Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Lawrencetown Beach, local cafés, hiking trails, paddling, surfing, and the natural beauty of the Eastern Shore.
This location appeals to local staycation guests, couples travelling from Halifax and Atlantic Canada, and visitors looking for a luxury nature escape near the city.
Serious Inquiries
This is a unique opportunity to own a private waterfront retreat with established short-term rental income, turnkey guest-ready assets, and future expansion potential.
Financial details, revenue history, occupancy information, expansion plans, and additional property details are available to serious qualified buyers.
