Ethan Hawke Buys 8-Acre Island in Nova Scotia as Personal Retreat
Ethan Hawke purchased an 8-acre island in Tracadie Harbour, Nova Scotia, from an older friend who could no longer maintain it. The property includes two cottages and is connected to the mainland by a 60-metre private land bridge. Hawke describes the island as a retreat for writing, reading, and disconnecting from city life. He noted that the cost of the island was relatively low, joking that a closet in Manhattan could be more expensive.
