If you have ever dreamed of owning a real piece of history with enough land to truly get lost on, this 1842 farmhouse is a dream come true. For many of us who love old houses, it is the simple, honest charm of a “century home” that feels most like home. This house has stood for nearly 200 years, watching the seasons change on its massive 100-acre lot.
It is tucked away in a quiet and private spot where you can finally hear the birds and the wind in the trees. Even though it feels like your own private world, you are actually very close to schools, shops, and even a golf course. It is the perfect mix of “getting away from it all” without being too far from the things you need. Inside, the house feels like a warm hug. It has a great country kitchen that is just waiting for a big pot of soup and a family to gather around. The living room is extra large, which is rare for homes from this time, making it a perfect spot to relax by the wood-burning fireplace.
There are four bedrooms in total, which is great for a growing family. One bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor right near the laundry room, while the other three are upstairs with a full bath. The home stays cozy with a mix of electric heat and wood stoves, so you can always stay warm during those crisp Nova Scotia winters. The best part of this property is the incredible 30×60 foot barn. It already has stalls, so if you have ever wanted to have horses, sheep, or chickens, you are already halfway there! With 100 acres of land, you have plenty of room to grow your own food, start a farm, or just enjoy long walks on your own private trails. The house has also been updated in the ways that matter most. The stone basement is dry and has been insulated with spray foam to keep the floors warm and the dampness out. It even has a 200 amp electrical panel and a drilled well, so you have the modern power and water you need for a busy homestead.
This property is more than just a house; it’s a lifestyle. Whether you want to start a family retreat or a working farm, this 1842 homestead is ready for its next chapter. It is hard to find this much land and this much history for such a great price. It is truly a special opportunity to live a simpler, more peaceful life.
