I love this property! It offers an exceptional collection of the most wanted features in a country home. Georgian inspired, it was custom built in the 1980s, with a high level of fit and finish. It has been extremely well maintained and updated. It sits on a high and dry poured concrete foundation. The formal entry opens to a grand foyer with stunning staircase. The main level includes a livingroom, diningroom, family room with fireplace insert, a well appointed kitchen with pantry, and breakfast room with door to the outside large covered terrace. Ideal for BBQ, relaxing and watching the sun go down. Also on the main level is a mudroom, home office, three-piece bathroom and laundry room. Upstairs has the 4 bedrooms, (two with huge walk-in closet) and 2 with a 2-piece bath, plus a completely renovated and updated 4 piece bathroom. There is an attached 2 car garage with second entry to the basement area. The basement has wood storage for the fireplace insert, a new high efficiency propane furnace, sump pump with battery backup, and plenty of open space which could be finished for games room, kids play area, exercise space or studio. There’s also a large cold room. Systems include a new 200 amp electrical service, propane warm air heating, heat pump, electric heating as well, drilled well, UV light and septic system. Spacious rooms, crown moldings, Pella windows, fresh paint, lots of storage and new roof shingles in 2025 add to the charm. The property includes 3.5 acres of land and incorporates a nice balance of landscaping and an open field looking westward. Property to be approx 400' x 400', being approx 3.5 acres and includes house and barn. You’ll love the 40 x 30 barn - it's ideal for many uses. This rare find is just four minutes above Route 221 on the Valley floor, 8 minutes to Highway 101 and 9 minutes to Berwick. The shore at Harbourville is just up over the North Mountain about 10 minutes north. More land could be available.

I have listed a new property at 2939 221 Highway in Weston. See details here

Whether you’re looking for a hobby farm or a farm to start your orchard or vineyard, this 75 acre property offers the perfect combination of location, field, forest, beautiful home and outbuildings. It’s ideally located at the base of the North Mountain within nine minutes to Berwick in the Annapolis Valley. The circa 1899 home sits well back off the road down a tree lined laneway. It has been exceptionally well cared for and updated by past and present owners. It offers 2,800 sq ft of very comfortable living space spread over two floors. You’ll love the recently updated and expanded eat-in kitchen with large windows along the west side looking out to the field. You’ll appreciate the spacious mudroom, separate laundry room, and walk-in pantry. Two spacious principal rooms serve as a formal living room and cozy family room with modern, efficient wood-burning fireplace. An updated bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a den or home office and a full bathroom plus a generous storage area. There’s a nice collection of buildings, including a timber frame 50 x 30‘ barn with lower level, a separate horse barn, shed, chicken coop, small garage and a 40×14 woodworking tool/ building. All well maintained. The land includes two large hayfields, pasture, meadow land, and a small vineyard with tile drainage. The land rises up the slope of the mountain, providing perfect elevation, southern exposure, and long unobstructed views. The forest itself is beautiful with a mix of hardwood and softwoods. A tractor path winds its way up the mountainside providing access to your own firewood supply. A brook flows down the west side of the farm. There is a dug well and a fantastic gravity fed water system, which stores spring water from the top of the mountain, and is piped underground to the house. An endless supply of water. Access to Highway 101 is just eight minutes away. The Town of Berwick offers all essential shops and services.
