Two Homes and 203 Acres

Imagine living on the side of the mountain surrounded by 203 acres of open fields, blueberries and forest. Imagine watching the sun come up over the Minas Basin or the hilltop fog rolling across your fields. Imagine a late afternoon walk to the brook or a crackling outdoor fire during a fall evening. Imagine nature and beauty at your doorstep. Imagine peace and quiet. Now, imagine that all of this is just 7 minutes to Kentville and even less to Highway 101.

We are pleased to offer this special property for sale. It’s been in the same family since the early 1900s and includes the original 1800s farmhouse and a few older barns, plus a very charming 24 year old stylish bungalow.

New Home
This home offers 1,200 square feet of very comfortable living, all on one floor. The side door opens to an eat-in kitchen with room for an oval table and 4 chairs. The newly built side deck is easily accessed for outside dining and B-B-Qs. The kitchen is well appointed with lots of cabinets. Off the kitchen is a half bath, storage and a laundry area. Tucked away in a corner is a sunny family room overlooking the field. There’s a separate diningroom also looking out towards the field with long views. Adjacent is the spacious livingroom with fireplace and two walls with windows. There’s a convenient door out to a well planned terrace finished with pavers. On the opposite side are two bedrooms, storage and a full bathroom. This home is in wonderful condition and has been well maintained. It sits on a concrete basement about 5 feet high and has good systems including a deep well and septic. The exterior is clad with cedar shingles.

1800s Home
This original farmhouse is solid and is in fairly good condition. It does require work, but with a little TLC and your imagination, this old-timer could be a very comfortable home. The main floor incorporates a kitchen, large rear porch, bathroom, diningroom, livingroom, den and foyer. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a large foyer.

There are several older barns in the barnyard near the farmhouse. They need work too, but have potential for a variety of uses. The forest has several areas that have not been cut over in many years with large hemlock and spruce. Other parts of the property have had selective cutting over the past 30 years. A brook flows along the east boundary and there are maples for tapping. There are about 30 acres of open land ideal for pasture. And, blueberries do exceptionally well here.

This property is ideal for someone who wants two homes (about 500 feet apart) for in-laws, income or home based business. This is a terrific location for horses as there are miles and miles of accessible trails. Imagine what you could do here . . . then give me a call to arrange for your private viewing.
