Located in the seaside community of Clementsport, this 12 acre farm sits on a hill with a commanding view of the Annapolis Basin. It’s a beautiful place to live, both in terms of the views and proximity to shops and services. From here, the historic Town of Annapolis Royal is just 12 minutes east. And, Digby, the largest town along this coast is within 15 minutes.

The barn measures 36’ x 76’ and is without a doubt, one of the nicest older barns I’ve seen. It’s solid, with a steel roof, extremely well built, dry, big and nicely laid out. It was originally built for a wealthy dairy farmer back in the early 1900s. It has an excellent concrete foundation, concrete floor and high ceilings on the lower level. With its wide open layout, the main floor is just about perfect for any use, from livestock to business. It’s tucked into the bank on the south side making the second level accessible at grade. This huge loft area is amazing.

Connected to the west side is the former milkhouse. This barn has been well maintained. It’s tidy and nicely finished inside. The lower level has beadboard walls, plank and beam ceilings and a wide staircase to the upper level. This spectacular structure would make a wonderful antique store or a woodworking shop, artist studio and gallery, furniture outlet, seasonal restaurant. You name it . . . in fact, it’s so nice it could be converted to make a stunning home.

Speaking of home, the home on this farm is only about 28 years old. It was built with a similar style roofline to the barn and has an attached garage. It has excellent systems including a wood/oil combination furnace and electric heating, a drilled well and a dug well and septic. There have been many recent upgrades including new main level flooring, painting throughout and the roof has been re-shingled.

There’s a spacious mudroom entry, laundry area, open concept kitchen and diningroom, formal livingroom, 4 piece bath, master bedroom and small study on the main floor. Upstairs there’s a sitting room, two large bedrooms and a large storage room or 4th bedroom. There’s a nice rear deck and a wonderful covered front verandah.

The garage and workshop area is connected to the house and provides additional storage. An older small barn is presently used for equipment. The land surrounding the house and barns has been well farmed for many years. It’s perfect for pasture, hay, other crops and organics. Because of its excellent sunny slope and late frost location this may also be suitable for grapes.

There’s also a huge pond on one corner of the property which is fed by a brook.
