Country Contemporary on 6 Acres

  Now this exciting property will really appeal to any buyer looking for a newly built, upscale country home within 10 minutes to Wolfville. I call this a “country contemporary” because it’s ideally situated on 6 acres with a wonderful country setting and the home has a modern, stylish feel about it, yet it offers the same cozy comfort we’ve come to expect in the older homes.

The house is just 2 years old and was custom built for the present owner. It offers over 2,600 square feet of living space with its open concept design, and features a high-end maintenance-free exterior, energy efficient windows, super insulation, unique trims and details combined with quality custom finishes. The house has been sited perfectly for solar collectors.

The house sits on a full concrete basement, perfect for many uses. What you can’t see from the photos . . . is the rear design. The back of the house has two bump-outs creating a terrific (south-facing) courtyard.

On the main floor there’s a mudroom entry with half bath, a spacious, well laid out kitchen with lots of cabinets, granite tile top, hidden laundry room area and pantry. The kitchen is wide open to the huge living room (15’ x 25.5’). This living space has windows on two sides, a wood stove and side door to the spacious front deck. Looking out you have a beautiful, unobstructed view of the Minas Basin. Adjacent is the diningroom with windows overlooking the view and a doorway out to the back terrace. The colour scheme inside is fantastic. The floors are a combination of hardwood, ceramic and laminate.

On the other side of the home is the sleeping area. I think you’ll really like the master suite, tucked off in the back with windows on 3 sides. It has a ensuite bath and spacious walk-in closet. Also, in this wing are two more bedrooms, linen closet and another full bathroom. A custom wood and iron staircase leads to the second floor. Up here is one huge room measuring 20.8 ‘x 46.8’. It’s completely finished and is presently used as a family room and studio space. It overlooks the valley and Minas Basin and has a door to a second level covered verandah.

Outside is nicely landscaped around the home, with lots of garden spaces. The house sits well back off a quiet country road and has an excellent laneway, parking area and detached double car garage. About 3 acres is open cleared land partially landscaped around the house. The front field was recently plowed and harrowed. Behind the house is a private 3 acre wood lot.

The house has excellent systems including drilled well, engineered septic, 200 amp electrical, electric and wood heat and air exchanger. The total heating and electrical costs are under $2,000. a year. With easy access to Highway 101, you can comfortably be in the city in under one hour and to Wolfville in about 10 minutes.
