Description

Set high on a hilltop overlooking the Bay of Fundy, this three-bedroom bungalow enjoys sweeping ocean views, postcard-worthy sunsets, and a remarkable sense of privacy. Coming to market for the first time since it was built, the home has been in the care of its original owner for 65 years. With 9.3 acres of land—partially cleared and dotted with fruit trees, three greenhouses, and a double shed—the property is ideal for hobby farming, gardening, or simply enjoying wide-open space. Mixed-use zoning allows for animals, making it a unique opportunity to establish a small farmstead in this scenic location. The home features the ease of single-level living and has been thoughtfully updated where it matters most. A new septic system (2023), ductless heat pump (2022), and water heater (2023) provide peace of mind, along with a UV water system and generator panel. The basement was spray-foamed in 2022 and remains reliably dry thanks to the home’s elevated position. Blown-in insulation in the attic and walls adds efficiency, and nearly all windows were replaced with Jeld-Wen models in 2018–2019. Inside, the layout is simple and functional, with a full bath on the main floor, a particularly spacious primary bedroom, and two additional bedrooms. Downstairs, you’ll find extra space for the dedicated laundry area, storage, hobbies, or future finishing. A ramp leads to the main entrance, providing easy accessibility, and the backyard is exceptionally private, bordered by a large stretch of mature forest. All of this lies just 15 minutes from the historic town of Annapolis Royal, known for its acclaimed farmers market, vibrant waterfront, galleries, restaurants, and essential amenities. With major systems already addressed, you’re free to focus on making the place your own—whether that means animals in the pasture, a thriving garden, or a quiet retreat above the sea.
