About the property

Perched at the water’s edge in the peaceful fishing village of Deep Bay, this lovingly restored salt box home is a rare find on Fogo Island. Estimated to be 150 to 200 years old, this heritage house was originally floated across the bay and painstakingly rebuilt in 2018 to preserve its history while maximizing its stunning surroundings.

The reimagined structure features a classic salt box silhouette and now enjoys panoramic views of Deep Bay Harbour, the Leverett Islands, and the Atlantic horizon. Its wraparound deck with built-in windscreen provides the perfect perch for spotting eagles, icebergs, whales, and the Northern Lights, all without ever leaving your chair.

Inside, the home strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and artisan luxury. Locally sourced spruce, wide-plank engineered oak floors, and exposed beams with custom iron brackets bring warmth and character. A French-made Godin wood and coal stove adds both heat and heritage.
