A century farmhouse and a nice collection of outbuildings make this 22 acre farmstead an interesting option for anyone looking for a country property with character. Besides having a whole lot of original character, this property also offers a wonderful level of privacy. It’s located about 8 minutes from New Ross on a paved (dead end) road with little traffic. The house and buildings sit on a hillside way back off the road, surrounded by two open fields and woods. Even with the leaves gone, it’s barely noticeable when driving by.

The house sits on a very substantial stone foundation. It’s dry with a concrete floor and outside entry. On the main floor there’s a large kitchen with walk-in pantry (but few cabinets), a spare room off the kitchen ideal for a home office, a diningroom, foyer, livingroom and mudroom.

Upstairs there is a modern bathroom with big windows overlooking the field and four bedrooms, all with closets. A staircase leads to the attic which has potential for finishing. Most of the interior walls are wood. Most of the floors are wood. A few of the ceilings are wood. It has very good systems including a newly installed wood furnace, 200 amp electrical, drilled well and septic. All windows (except the attic) have been replaced. The owners plan to add a huge verandah across the front which will be ready for new owners to enjoy.

The big barn is an authentic post and beam barn. In general, it is in very nice condition and is ideal for horses, studio, farming activities or workshop. There’s a single car garage, an old workshop, a garden shed and a very nice chicken coop. The fields have good slope and lots of sun and are ideal for pasture, hay and other crops. Blueberries, organics and grapes are all possibilities. Most of the open land is surrounded by woods. Behind the farm is a little used dirt road that leads to a lake. There are lots of trails for hiking or riding and many lakes and rivers close by.

The towns of Mahone Bay, Chester, Windsor, Kentville and Wolfville are all within 25 to 40 minutes away. For retirement, hobby farming or a weekend get-away, this picturesque farm fills the bill.
