If you’re looking for that country lifestyle but don’t want an older farmhouse, this 6 year old custom built two story may just be right for you. It’s nicely located in the community of Pleasant Valley just a few minutes from Brookfield and only 12 minutes to Truro.

The full two story home sits nicely back off the country road. It has a “Federal” design with 9 windows and a door across the front. Inside it’s very sunny and bright with a spacious foyer. Off to the right is the family room with woodstove. To the left is the formal livingroom. Behind the livingroom is the diningroom. The large eat-in country kitchen takes up most of the remain back side of the house. You’ll love the kitchen with lots of cabinets and counter space, built-in Jenn-Aire range, an island, pantry and plenty of space for a kitchen table and 6 chairs. Adjacent the kitchen is laundry, half bath and side door entry. The principal rooms on this main level all have hardwood flooring.

A beautiful custom birch staircase takes you to the second floor. Up here you’ll find 4 spacious bedrooms and a well planned 4 piece bath. The master bedroom has lots of closet space and there’s a roughed-in ensuite bath ready for fixtures.

The house sits on a full concrete basement with 10 foot high walls. The basement is divided into three main areas with space for a workshop, space for living space which includes a woodstove, a systems room and storage. The house is very well insulated and with the two woodstoves it’s very cozy. There is also an oil-fired warm air heating system throughout. Water is supplied by a spring fed dug well.

This is an ideal property for horse, organics and hobby farming. The land includes 40+ acres with about 20 acres in pasture and field. The balance is woods. The land is suitable for most crops and provides very good conditions for blueberries and other fruits. Outbuildings include an older workshop/garage, a small barn with partial greenhouse down one side.

An original older home that was on the property was moved and gutted. It’s ready for your ideas for the next stage of its life. This is a wonderful community with excellent schools just 5 minutes away. Shortt’s Lake has public access for boating and swimming and is within 5 minutes. The airport is 40 minutes away and the city of Halifax is less than 1 hour.

This is a wonderful opportunity with a private setting close to all services. Additional land is also available for those who require more that 40 acres.
