BLACK SALT
We are building a fleet of 9 luxury accommodations. Each design draws from Nordic minimalism: clean, timeless, and filled with natural light, while honouring the maritime heritage.

A nordic inspired Coastal Getaway

Black Salt is a small fleet of cabins set above the tides of Ritcey Cove, where Nordic-inspired minimalism meets Nova Scotia's rugged South Shore. Organic materials and clean lines slow the pace of the whole day. Light moves across the floor, the tide comes in, and your attention settles there instead of everywhere else.

The Philosophy: Nordic in Nature

Come here to slow down. Clean lines and natural materials leave your mind less to hold onto. Walk the hillside in the early morning. Sit with the trees. Let the water set the pace of the day.

The Nordic Cabins

| Two Bedroom Glass Facades

Six 1,200 square foot cabins with full glass facades, vertical maple and black steel interiors, and two bedrooms each. One has a private pond at the entrance, another a Level 2 EV charging station. Adults-only, 16 and up.

The Black Crow Lodge

| Authentic German Loghaus

A log house built on-site by German craftsmen flown in for the build. Heavy timber, black hardware, a wood-burning stove, and a lofted bedroom overlooking the main room. Outside: a hot tub, a porch swing, and a dining area facing the harbour.

The View

| 3brm house

Touting the best view on the property - this multi-room dwelling is truly unique. Three bedrooms connected by an interior skywalk, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a private balcony off the primary suite. Built for the whole family to stay together, with enough separation that everyone still gets some quiet.


Riverport

| NOVA SCOTIA

Set in the fishing village of Riverport, minutes from the best of the South Shore.

Historic Lunenburg: Located exactly 12 minutes away, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers world-class dining and historic seafaring architecture.

Natural Wonders: Situated just 8 minutes from the expansive white sands of Hirtle's Beach and the rugged coastal hiking cliffs of Gaff Point.

Local Provisions Guild: Access artisanal essentials at the Rose Bay General Store (5 minutes away) or take the local cable ferry to the historic LaHave Bakery.


Our Future

| A Living Project

Black Salt continues to grow. Four more cabins are under construction farther up the hillside, each built to fit its own spot in the landscape. Scheduled for completion in late 2026, they'll bring the collection to nine.

Come find the one that's right for you.
