Grand Country Estate

This magnificent home, built around 1938, has hardwood floors throughout, beautiful Douglas fir trim and plaster walls and ceilings. The first floor has a true country kitchen which has a stairway to the "servants quarters" above and a sliding “pass through” door from the kitchen to the diningroom. The diningroom has double french doors which lead to a comfortable livingroom with fireplace. There is a study, an office and a large formal entry and all rooms have fantastic wood trim and floors.

The second floor has a large open, windowed foyer, which leads to the four bedrooms and bath, and access to the two-room "servant's quarters" above the kitchen. The third floor, the mansard roof attic, holds a tournament size billiard table and consists of approximately 1,200 square feet of loft space. This room could be finished for a home office, master suite or fantastic family room.

The house is heated with a newer wood furnace (10 cords of wood burned last year ) and uses oil as a back-up (only $200. of fuel oil was used last year). The house has been totally insulated, the roof was re-shingled in 2000, and the exterior was painted in 2006. The barns have had the metal roofs replaced and sided with hardboard siding. The main barn is a three story hay barn with 3 horse stalls and the attached garage/workshop is 30 x60. The 11.2 acre property is located at the end of a public road. There is a large pond and the farm is surrounded by rolling farmlands.

This 4,500 square foot estate home is in original condition, very well maintained, and would be perfect for a B & B, hobby farm or horse property. It is 2 minutes from Highway 102, 20 minutes to Truro and 15 minutes to the Halifax Airport. There are 200 additional acres available, which can be purchased separately.
