From the Artist, for the Artist

Our cottage is presently set up with an art studio space and a bright cheery gallery in the back. We have gained an excellent reputation and have become a integral part of the Rose Blanche experience.

Rose Blanche, and specifically Parsons Point has a long history of artists residing here. Before me, there were two well-known Canadian artists living here seasonally, creating beautiful works inspired by the sights and sounds of the rock and the sea. These beautiful surroundings provide constant inspiration for the fused glass art pieces that I bring to life in my kiln back in Ontario during the winter. While here in Rose Blanche, I create pastels paintings in my small cottage studio that are inspired by the tremendous beauty around me.

Rose Blanche has a growing community of artisans, including a photographer, a potter, a stained glass artist, carvers, other painters, and dozens of crafters. Some have their own commercial outlets in the village, while others sell their work at the historic Lighthouse Craft Store.

For those that may be interested in carrying on this artistic history here on Parsons Point, I would be happy to discuss this opportunity in more detail.

The Time has Come

*** Sold ***

We've spent the best part of the last 10 years enjoying our Little Cottage by the Sea in Rose Blanche, Newfoundland. But due to personal reasons, the time has come to put her up for sale. She is best described as a 625 square foot, three season cottage. Though before our time, she was lived in the year round by a family living off the sea. The cottage comes fully furnished ... use the links to take you to more information and photos of the cottage, the artist studio space, gallery details, and more ... take a look ...

The Property

The property layout is as shown below. There are two separate parcels. The cottage property is 6A&B Parsons Point. The other parcel, that we refer to as the Rocky Shore, is 2 Parsons Point. Both are registered with the Land Registry office in St. Johns. Like many properties in rural and outport Newfoundland,  both of these parcels are Crown Land. We have documented ownership history going back to 1906. There is a provincial process available for taking the property from the Crown if desired. 

The property taxes of both combined is approximately $1050.

The Community

The three sister communities of Rose Blanche, Harbour le Cou, and Diamond Cove combined have a population of about 400. These communities were all true outports with only sea access until the early 1960s.

The communities are about 40 minutes from Port aux Basques, the main gateway to Newfoundland. The ferry from North Sidney, Nova Scotia arrives twice daily. Highway 470 takes you on a scenic tour of the Granite Coast along the southwest shore to Rose Blanche. 

Here is a short video showcasing the communities ... take a look
