1690 New Cumberland Road — Pleasantville, Nova Scotia

A traditional farmhouse built in 2003 on the site of a much older farm, this land, farmed organically, has been under careful custodianship for over two hundred years. The property consists of a Cape Cod Style house with an open-concept main living area and two exceptionally large bedrooms on the second floor. The property consists of 118 acres with a mix of open pasture and woods. There are four wells on the property including one at the barn measuring 32'x40' with three levels and a dung cellar. This full size barn houses stalls on the main level, has a second floor hay loft and a workshop to one side (10'x40'). In addition there is a rear shed 9'x17' and an attached open lean-to 10'x40'. Close to the barn is a separate outbuilding, 16'x26' with open lean-to 9'5x26'. Both buildings are constructed on concrete slabs. In the field well below the house there is a former chicken coop measuring 12'5x19'. Close to the house there is a wood shed and former coop measuring 9'x24'. On the separate parcel across the road there is an older double garage measuring 20'x20'. The house has a wood-burning cookstove which supports an in-floor radiant hot-water heating system. Two ductless heat-pumps and the wood burning stove will comfortably heat the entire home without the use of the in-floor heating. The house features an open-concept main floor with exposed wood beams, concrete flooring, three-season weather-tight front sunroom, and two adjacent entries at the rear of the kitchen - one of which houses the laundry. The second floor bedrooms are spacious with vaulted ceilings and one with a skylight to take in the stars at night. The property, with its numerous fields dotted with old apple trees, once supported numerous vegetable gardens and would be ideal for horses, sheep or cattle. Within a 20 minute drive to the amenities of Bridgewater, a short walk to the school bus and just ten minutes to the ocean which one can see in the distance from this property's fine elevation.
