Overview
Description
On the market for the first time in modern history is the historic Beau Soleil homestead property. Originally built in the mid-1700s, this property still retains foundations of the original Acadian settlement. Nestled in the heart of the Annapolis Valley on approximately 85 acres of fertile fields & mature woodland. An amazing mix of natural beauty and practical potential. A peaceful old logging trail winds through the forest, leading past a Ducks Unlimited protected pond network, while cleared areas once used for crops still hold rich soil ready for future use. Scattered fruit and berry trees add charm and seasonal bounty. Enjoy access to a public boat launch on the Annapolis River, directly across the street. This character-filled century home features four bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with softwood floors throughout the upper level and much of the main floor, with most original woodwork/trim/doors still intact. Flexible modern heating options include three new heat pumps (2024), a central oil/wood furnace system (2000/2014), and a cozy WETT-certified wood stove in the kitchen. Other recent updates include roof reshingling in 2019, electrical updates, and full basement waterproofing completed in winter 2024. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Nova Scotia's history in a private, scenic setting with room to grow, explore, and enjoy.
