Tuckamore. This new distinct saltbox style home is tucked into the hillside overlooking Trinity Harbour and the small outport community of Trinity East, Newfoundland. The all-season house commands a spectacular ocean view of the local fishing community and historic township of Trinity across the harbour. Located halfway along the Bonavista Peninsula, a three-hour drive from St. John's, and just off the famous Skerwink Trail, Tuckamore grants easy access to some of the best of Newfoundland’s breathtaking coastline. Active seasonal adventures, whether by land or sea, include: iceberg viewing, whale watching, cod jigging, capelin harvesting, boat touring, sea kayaking, fresh water canoeing, hiking, swimming, bird watching, berry picking, ATVing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and storm watching. Cultural events in the the area, include: live music, local theatre, art gallery and museum exhibits, art and heritage workshops, cooking festivals, fine dining, and more. Within walking distance of Sisters Inn & Brightside Bistro, Fishers' Loft Inn Restaurant, Port Rexton Brewing Company and Two Whales Coffee Shop.

This highly energy-efficient home was beautifully designed by local artist and house designer, Frank Lapointe, and completed in 2016 by an award-winning construction crew from Sweet Lumber Ltd.. With its high ceilings and timber frame interior it stands out as a unique coastal home that melds contemporary open design with traditional East Coast saltbox architecture. The home’s great room provides plenty of space - for simply lounging, or entertaining in front of the Norwegian gas fireplace, or enjoying the view from the dining room table for six, or cooking up a storm in the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen. The upper hall entertainment alcove, as well as the great room, each sport a large flatscreen TV with satellite cable service and Netflix. Free high-speed (250+ Mbps) WIFI internet service is available throughout the home. The two upper bedrooms, which boast floor-to-ceiling view windows and vaulted ceilings, share a full bathroom with double-sink vanity. The master bedroom on the main floor has its own ensuite bathroom. Outside entertaining may be done on the southwest deck, with an adjacent gas grill BBQ for outdoor cooking.

Tuckamore (def.): a strong wind-pruned evergreen found on the top of coastal hills in Newfoundland. Their growth exhibits the distinct character of leaning away from the ocean’s prevailing winds to thrive where others perish.

Picture-perfect!
My friends and I stayed at Tuckamore for a week. I cannot imagine a home that could have suited our needs more. Beautiful views. Convenient to all of our activities, including hiking, historical walking tours, cod jigging and a drive to Elliston to see the puffins. Had amazing meals at nearby Fishers’ Loft and Twine Loft. But more importantly, because everyone in our group consider themselves home “chefs”, we also had amazing meals at home and found everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen. I would highly recommend Tuckamore to anyone interested in visiting Newfoundland.

Perfect Stay
Great to be back in Trinity East for a few days. We love staying at Tuckamore - just such a special place. We love the location, the views, the art, the books, and the very well-stocked kitchen. On our short stay we hiked Fox Island, had a lovely meal at Twine Loft, & went to Elliston & Bonavista where we saw lots of whales & puffins. Hope to return next year for a longer stay! It’s the perfect place.

Perfect Stay In Trinity East
Location of this property was perfect with spectacular ocean, light house and rocky cliffs views, in addition to the best view of Trinity. Literally steps from the Skerwink trail and close to all the amenities and sights this area has to offer. The home was spotless and just as lovely in the pictures. Truly a chefs gourmet kitchen with all the things one needs for an inspiring meal. Our only complaint would be we didn’t stay 2 more days!

This is a wonderful house with views from every room and it’s just steps away from the beautiful Skerwink Trail. We enjoyed the friendly people and good food in and about the Trinity and Bonavista area. The local Port Rexton Brewery has a great atmosphere as well.

Beautiful Stay in Trinity East!
My husband, toddler and I enjoyed our 6-night stay at Tuckamore immensely! The house is beautifully designed to maximize the view of the location, overlooking the town and bay. But, in addition to the house itself being lovely, it was extremely clean, outfitted with everything we needed to prepare full meals, furnished comfortably and communication with Peter was exceptional. Tuckamore is literally a short walk from the Skerwink Trail, which we hiked twice, and it’s only a short drive to other great hikes in the area. We enjoyed walking around peaceful Trinity East in the evenings, and we also enjoyed frequent visits to the Two Whales Coffee Shop just down the road. We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again; we felt extremely lucky to spend a few days feeling immersed in the beautiful town of Trinity East at Tuckamore. I highly recommend a stay here!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Trinity East many years ago, coming back year after year to enjoy the hospitality and charm of the local area and its people, and share the experience with family and friends. With its one-road-in and one-road-out access, this was the one place where our children were always able to safely experience the freedom on the land that many from NL cherish as a young children growing up. When we retired, we decided to build our own place so that we could stay longer and have a place where (hopefully) future grandchildren could experience the same. As a small working outport community, Trinity East has a decidedly rural pace, low traffic, and more privacy than that available in Trinity itself during the tourist season. Tuckamore is perched on a bluff which overlooks the immediate outport with views across the bay to Trinity itself. The property is an enchanting two-acre mix of forest and meadow with the occasional sighting of resident fox, snowshoe hare and moose, plus wild raspberries, blueberries and partridge berries available for harvest in season. With access to the famous Skerwink Trail right from your doorstep there can be no better encouragement to experience the best of Newfoundland's spectacular coastline. Day trips from this convenient central location on the Bonavista peninsula have exposed our family and guests to so much of Newfoundland's wonderful theatre, music, art, culture and heritage.

What makes this property unique

One of the reasons we chose to build on this property is the great south-facing panoramic view of Trinity East, the historic town of Trinity, Trinity Harbour and Lighthouse, and some of the giant sea stacks along the coast. We worked with local home designer and neighbour, Frank Lapointe, to fashion our all-season dream home, which harbours all the trapping of contemporary living with a nod to traditional saltbox architecture. The exposed timber frame structure that surrounds you when inside is a visible testament to the skill of the award-winning local crew from Sweet Lumber Ltd. who built the home. Finally, there is comfort in knowing that this home, with its 15-inch exterior walls, was built as one of the most well-insulated and heating-efficient homes on the coast.
