18 Acres on the River

If you are looking for a modern home in the country with lots of living space, land and gardens, this 18 acre farm may be perfect. It’s located in West Paradise, just minutes from Bridgetown in the Annapolis Valley. It has easy access to Highway 101, Highway 1 and Route 201, making visits to nearby towns fast and easy. The house was custom built 9 years ago. It’s spacious, sunny and well laid out with 3,000 square feet of comfortable living space on 3 levels. It’s ideally situated way back off the road, down a long lane and surrounded by gardens.

The main foyer is large and serves as the hub for this house. At the back is the rear entry and closets, off to one side is a huge kitchen with an abundance of maple cabinets and counters on 3 sides plus a centre island with granite top. The kitchen includes a formal dining area at the far end. A large livingroom with hardwood floor runs across the front of the house. In the center of the foyer are stairs going up to the bedrooms and down to the lower level. Upstairs is the master bedroom with beautiful ensuite bath and walk-in closet, 2 other large bedrooms and another full bath. A few steps down and you’re in the family room which has a very efficient woodstove and lots of windows. Another bedroom, laundry room, home office and storage complete this level. The basement level has the systems and a huge workshop with outside access. A covered front verandah, well planned rear deck, upscale finishes and top of the line systems really add to the appeal of this home.

The quality of construction is evident throughout, starting with the ICF (insulated concrete foundation) to the roof shingles. Systems include 200 amp electrical, state of the art septic, oil-fired hot water heating, woodstove, central vac, air exchanger and satellite.

You’ll love the 26 x 28, 2 year old detached garage. It’s perfect for vehicles, a workshop or would make a great barn for a couple of horses. The property consists of 18.7 acres, mostly open with a buffer of threes down the west side. The land is very productive and suitable for most agricultural enterprises. There’s a second well on the property with an endless supply of water, ideal for irrigation. The landscaping is amazing. All 4 sides surrounding the house have flower beds, shrubs and gardens, tied together by a healthy lawn. The property runs to the Annapolis River and has about 1,000 feet of frontage. Perfect for small power boats, kayaks, canoes and fishing.

This property offers the opportunity to live in a modern country home, close to shops and services with enough land to allow a self-sufficient lifestyle. It’s ideally located for a home-based business and the river frontage is an added bonus.
