Horse Farm Close to Kentville

This attractive farm is situated on Route 221 at the base of the North Mountain in Woodville, about 12 minutes west of Kentville. The house dates back to 1835 and has been well maintained with many recent upgrades including windows, furnace, woodstove, roof shingles and exterior painting. A large full length enclosed sun porch across the front sets the stage for the cozy, comfortable atmosphere inside. The sun porch opens to a spacious foyer with original staircase to the upper floor. To the right is a formal diningroom. To the left is the livingroom with wood burning fireplace insert. Behind these principal rooms is a spacious country kitchen with lots of cabinets, counter space, built-in appliances and plenty of room for a table and four chairs. Off the kitchen is the family room with efficient woodstove and door to the study. Behind the kitchen there is a small wing that includes a large bathroom with laundry, a large storage room (which has been used in the past as a play room) and a wonderful mudroom with doors on both ends.

Upstairs you’ll love the open foyer with south facing dormer. Off the foyer are three good sized bedrooms. A short hall leads to a full bathroom and master bedroom. The master bedroom measures 36 x 13 and has numerous closets built under the eaves. Overall, the house offers about 2,500 square feet of living space. The interior and exterior have mostly original trims and detail, with interesting woodwork.

The house sits on a very solid stone foundation. Systems include a two year old furnace providing warm air heating, a woodstove, fireplace insert, 200 amps electrical, drilled well, septic system and high speed internet. A generator is included in the price.

The horse barn is well designed and provides 6 large box stalls, a pony pen, wash bay, tack-up area and tack room. There’s also an older post and beam multi-level barn ideal for many uses. The lower level is wired for wood working equipment and the main floor level is open to the peak.

This would be a nice barn for a home based business, antique shop, gallery or other country enterprise. The property includes 8 acres with fenced pasture. There are mature trees, beautiful gardens, circular driveway and an in-ground swimming pool.
