11 S Old Post Rd, Annapolis, NS B0S 1L0

Looking for a special place that feels like both a home and a retreat, just minutes from amenities? It just doesn't get any better than this private, peaceful property with direct frontage on Joggins Brook's tidal estuary, allowing access for a small boat or kayak to travel out to the Annapolis Basin! Surrounded by 3.6 acres of forest and bordering on 2 brooks, this home is a nature-lovers paradise designed to blend with the landscape and scenic beauty. Relax on the wrap-around veranda and watch herons, ducks and eagles make their way up and down the river. A raised area on the hill beside the house gets lots of sun, and would be the perfect spot for a vegetable garden or a small fruit orchard. Custom built in 2004 to a high standard, this energy efficient home features a combination of in-floor hot water and electric heat, plus baseboard hot water heat, via a high efficiency electric furnace. The roof was shingled in 2020 and the veranda was expanded with new railings, and new front steps recently added. The house is wired for generator and other notables include an air-exchange system, new Bosch dishwasher, new fridge, a propane range, and a good out building. The contemporary interior features a large main hall, vaulted ceilings in the family room and primary suite, and large windows throughout. The kitchen and dining area have views to the river, and the huge family room offers views of both the river and the brook, and doors out to a back deck. There is a bedroom on the main floor and full bath, plus a laundry, utility and mudroom, also with deck access. Upstairs an expansive loft-like primary bedroom offers a sitting area in the dormer window overlooking the river, and 3 large closets and full bath, with a 3rd bedroom off this space. Situated a few minutes from amenities (and fresh seafood!) in the Town of Digby, and 30 minutes from historic Annapolis Royal, assorted golf courses, wineries and beaches depending on your mood! 2023-03-29
