Welcome to the Star of the Sea

Tranquility by the sea

Located on the ocean, just a five-minute drive from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Star of the Sea offers a mix of oceanside living with the convenience of city life, nature trails, and relaxation.

We are conveniently located at the York Redoubt Park entrance. Stella Maris, or Star of the Sea, was purchased privately in 2012 and lovingly restored by Fosterbuilt Construction over a period of two-years.

Most areas were custom designed and meticulously completed by Thomas Foster himself. The building was created in 1846 and stands proud to this day.

A retreat from the world

This is a true retreat for artists, retirees and couples.  During the summer months, be treated to spectacular harbour scenery that includes cruise ships, sail boats, submarines, lobster fishing boats, whales and huge cargo ships.

Convenient walking paths and beautiful views are right outside our door. Treat yourself to a dip in the heated pool overlooking the ocean and the Halifax harbor while enjoying a relaxing glass of wine with your partner.
