History takes on new life in Nova Scotia’s most unique adult lifestyle community. Imagine waking up to ocean views every day, the sun rising over a 200-year-old farmstead that’s still being operated today. Where sustainable living is finally attainable, and your active lifestyle is boosted to a whole new level.

Fossil Farms is a one-of-a-kind community located just 15 minutes outside of New Glasgow, where residents can enjoy the restful retreat of rural living without compromising on urban convenience. With a wide variety of onsite amenities designed to enhance your health and wellness, Fossil Farms was designed to create a safe, close-knit, village-style community of retirement rentals by the sea.

There are two clubhouses for plenty of activities and social interactive. First is the “Barn”, which serves as the main Clubhouse and a social-hub for residents to come together, while our second clubhouse contains a garage/workshop and the gym, offering ways to stay active indoors. There’s even a weekends-only seasonal high-end Field to Table private restaurant on site, so you can enjoy fresh farm-to-table cuisine that comes right from home, from farm-fresh eggs to home-grown fruit, vegetables, and honey. And any ingredients that aren’t made or grown onsite at Fossil Farms are sourced directly from nearby businesses, limiting the environmental impact of transportation while supporting the local economy.

Beyond its exceptional location, where you’ll find yourself close to theatres, restaurants, golf courses, shopping, hospital, and more, Fossil Farms offers a wide range of its own unique amenities for residents to explore. From scenic hiking trails, pickleball court, and kayaking, to bonfires, patios, gardens, outdoor pool with wood-fired sauna, there’s a style of outdoor living for every walk of life.

Amenities like these facilitate a thriving social atmosphere, where neighbours pair up for friendly games, form walking groups, and bond over shared passions. Residents of Fossil Farms form birdwatching clubs, stargaze together at our shared telescope, tend the gardens, and come together for countless events and activities.

The Farm itself presents a unique lifestyle for residents to enjoy. Get all the benefits of living and working on a farm and tending your own gardens, with available greenhouse and container farm, plus well-loved chickens, goats, and sheep. The orchard and apiary work in harmony to promote healthy pollination and plenty of honey. There’s even a vineyard here at Fossil Farms, filling the hillside with lush green grapes waiting to be transformed into your own well-balanced vintage.

Locally-grown food and careful land stewardship aren’t the only ways that Fossil Farms is dedicated to sustainability, however. The entire farm is powered by solar electricity, making it a completely zero-carbon working farm. And this is a legacy you can become a part of.
