How This Surfer Built His Dream Home on the Nova Scotia Coast | Huckberry Homes

[@roamingredser1207]

This is a man who is living. He had a vision for his life and how he wants to spend his days, then he made it happen. Inspirational stuff!

[@dancinrick6749]

It’s official. Dean is the coolest, chillest bro ever. This place is incredible.

[@PrimaryIgnition]

That could have been 30 minutes longer and I wouldn't have even noticed. Very inspirational.

[@lesaverman]

"and i'm proud of it... it got done right." If you're lucky enough to have a solid father figure in your life... that moment hit pretty hard. Grateful mine is still alive and I sometimes think of what I'll do when it comes to building something, fixing something, working on the truck when he's gone. Not so much because I won't know what to do or won't be able to get through it, but because that's where we've bonded most in my lifetime. He taught me a lot about making a mundane or difficult task fun and that anything done right is worth doing. Thanks Dean.

[@ctrlaltcreate3827]

This guy is sick and not because he has a cool house, but because this cool house came from his head in a very authentic way. I think this is as tasteful of a house as I’ve seen without being pretentious at all

[@ryanri9904]

This is my favorite home to date. Period.

[@louiss1625]

this is incredible. it helps to have generational wealth in creating this/setting up businesses to finance this, and it makes me kind of sad we can't all live in this beauty. but mans seems very down to earth and it's nice to see that he's living to the fullest.

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Guy took life slow and steady, seemed not to rush anything like most ppl. Everyone rushes. We think at this age we're supposed to be here or there. He spent more time than most guys his age chillim, surfin freely (no wife kids)...when he gets to that road he'll be mature & ready

[@beachthor1]

I’d love to prioritize my own happiness in life. Must be nice!

[@sndwind]

thanks for the tour, Dean. The place looks magical, and I love the homage to Ellie.

[@FunWithAJ]

Cool guy who seems to have been raised but cool parents. The math adds up. Thanks for sharing Dean. Id love a bag of your coffee!

[@andrewmcmullan6872]

Such a rad home and property. Very cool legacy that his dad helped with the build too.

[@philiq18]

That's the dream isn't...? Designing your life the way you envisioned it. Good on him. It's a beautiful and functional property. Everything's just enough.

[@bullit4x]

Yup. He’s 100% spot on with his comment about dying in that space. I personally would feel the same way. Perfect open (comfy) layout.

[@alexibarra4675]

The difference between this and other really nice homes is simply that he played a huge part in actually building it. Celebs just pay for things, he used everything he knows to put this together. Story about his parents is sweet too

[@jaydemelo529]

As I watch this, it's 20 hours young; welcome to the world, I guess, Dean Petty! Get ready to receive a ton of tire pumping. I hope we're not growing short of people living their lives and thinking about things like you do, but it can feel that way at times. You talking about your plants is already paraphrase-saved in my running quote journal..."They're family, we listen to the same music ...and at the end of the day, just trying to grow and get water"....are you kidding me!? Profound is a massive understatement. I don't comment on a lot in this online world, but I guess I just want to tip my Armor All cap to you. Keep shining that light, dude.

[@eanderson22]

right on brother! Great comment and thank you digitally "underlining" an epic quote from the video

[@taylorahearn5871]

Dean is killing it! One of my biggest inspirations ever

[@subhankar_dey]

Life is good. Beautiful. ❤

[@NathanHarrison7]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@Chap17]

I like the bedrooms on either end, no actual kitchen table but there are many compact ones that can be used and put away

[@donaldtiffany7313]

Dean is always a vibe! ✌️

[@GratefulOverlander]

I'm so glad this came across my feed. This dude is infectious in the most amazing ways. His love for family shines. His gratitude is so apparent. And the house and barn, bro killed it!! I wish you all the best for your life, thank you for being a good human

[@jayd3931]

What a fantastic home! Dean is such a legend. Props to him for living in Nova Scotia. I'm Canadian, but I moved to Australia because I can't do cold water surfing. 😂😂

[@RachelColic]

What a beautiful life.

[@maximus1847]

Man this guy is living the dream.

[@n3tFl0w]

This was an absolute great watch. Stunning house and barn, super interesting dude, and really well put together tour by Huckberry. Amazing.

[@cslafuria]

This is the coolest property I’ve ever seen. The crab shack is the ultimate hangout spot.

[@communitykyle]

Fantastic storytelling. More of this.

[@martinstoychev4262]

That's beautiful. Have a long and happy life there!

[@danielbleackley9164]

Dean is the best vibe of all- what a sweet human

[@sagejosslyn396]

i love the way he tells stories and his connection to the property. inspiring.

[@DD-ih7wn]

Good for him! I wish him well.

[@Rufio1975]

Pretty awesome. As a dad, his Dad would be proud.

[@shaneclark207]

Hidden gem in the background...... old 240 Volvo.......!!!!! 👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼

[@MsYingyang2]

I noticed that Volvo too. I had a 1986 model that lasted 19 years. I wish I never traded it in for a car for my husband. Volvos are my favorite car having had 5 of them in my lifetime.

[@shaneclark207]

@@MsYingyang2 my first was a 1982 two door. Lost count of how many we've owned since.

[@MsYingyang2]

@@shaneclark207 glad to hear it. Good luck to you.

[@kjart]

Followed along on IG as the barn was getting built - totally badass

[@andyforch1943]

“A portal to chill.” ❤

[@kiaravivianarodriguez6642]

[@SabineCedor]

Such a great view. Hoping to maybe build something similar.

[@marcpauly8699]

Incredible set up! Would love to see a video of this place in the winter. Thanks for sharing!

[@SiarlW]

So inspired by this ❤

[@bambamhookes]

nova scotia! Underrated province in Canada!

[@damador19]

I had no idea who Dean was before this video. I sure am grateful to Huckberry for sharing this incredible soul.

[@ShawnHigh-bw6rg]

Thank you for putting out a longer vid of this property. Watched the Brad L video 10 times to get quick peeks at it 🤙 inspiring

[@Huckberryco]

We’re glad you enjoyed it! We told Dean last year we had to come back and give the place a proper tour!

[@jodyandmichelle1]

I fucking love this story. Holy shit, yall hit the feels.

[@robertsifuentes5210]

Beautiful property. Also, that was a dope, grateful dead hat!

[@markmaggiore3948]

I remember Huckberry did a video with Brad Leone at Dean's place a year ago. It looked like he finished more to the sauna and added a hot tub .

[@tanman7627]

I’ll bet the weather in Nova Scotia is fantastic 😂

[@plw7930]

What a great guy making his space absolutely him.

[@ericblair1800]

What a amazing place

[@Bkcommercialphotography]

Well done that man. That is a piece of heaven.

[@bos6782]

[@mikewrld]

This is epic. A life of fulfilment. Awesome. Congrats dude

[@janitor9850]

[@bensun432]

[@dimitradandi7496]

Wonderfull Home! You are blessed!

[@sdharden01]

Huckberry, keep these type of videos coming! These kinds of videos are SO inspirational, they just make my whole day better somehow :)

[@jolyondunn2697]

Awesome property! Stunning

[@spenceroliphant2665]

Dean is such an infectiously positive person and rips harder than anyone in cow bay

[@2WheelsGood]

inspirational

[@jdee2482]

The barn was my dream space until I saw the crab hut. Each space on the property is so special.

[@bank5y]

Dean’s the man. Can’t wait for his YT channel to drop in 2026

[@AndrewSzeto]

Deaner! You're the best baby!

[@philm1175]

Super sick seeing this one! You're a beauty!!!

[@pjl-dh9me]

[@lauracoccia8623]

Aa beautiful spot for your dream house. I'm jealous! Natural light and wood. Grow old in that house

[@kotamakikatahau6372]

Kia ora, Dean. You´ve given my dreams more shape.

[@carolc9654]

That crib board is so 🇨🇦😍 it's The Crab & Crib Shack 😂

[@PlaySA]

It's a beautiful house, can't deny

[@darensinterested]

TSN turning point!? Only Canadians know that reference!

[@rickieredlack6086]

I think I’m falling more in love than I’ve ever been 12:37 sometimes I wish my dad could see what I’ve done with his house.. surely they’re proud. The space this man has created is sublime

[@newry12]

Loved this💚

[@xusanchez6142]

Beautiful man, and the house too :))

[@va11ah16]

So beautiful! Can anyone ID the big blue couch he has on the second level of his barn? It looks like the most cozy couch I've ever seen.

[@wlujc]

immaculate vibes

[@kiwi792]

bit of Hootie on the tape, nice :)

[@anitavirginillo]

What a catch this guy is!!!!

[@cashw.9482]

Beautiful

[@petermages9482]

I am so glad he did not opt for a flat roof. They are bad maintenance and ugly. This looks nice and is extra space.

[@pdxify]

Blacked out Tundra and a red 240 sedan - what a legend
