This lovingly maintained Modified Gothic style home, built in 1875, sits on 25 mostly cleared acres near Pomquet harbour and nearby Pomquet Provincial Park with beautiful beaches and walking trails. Upon entering, a big country kitchen is complimented by a cozy wood stove; the formal dining room is next and the living room has ample space for any family’s needs. On the second level there are three bedrooms, an art room and a massage treatment room. Conveniently, there is a washroom on each floor. A large barn, which has been extensively renovated, has a carpentry shop and room for livestock and chickens. A wooden greenhouse has raised beds, built in work benches, 2 stalls, water and lights. All this in addition to the cabineau, housing a wood shed and an insulated art studio, makes this the perfect property for hobby farm enthusiasts, those wishing to have a small business or anyone looking to live off the land. Outside there are perennial beds with ornamentals, berries, trees and raised beds for vegetables. The drilled well has never gone dry and the house is on Pomquet sewer system. Located 15 km from Town of Antigonish, STFX and St Martha’s Hospital. Nearby Ecole Pomquet contains elementary through high school with a community centre and gym available for public use. Also in the community is a hall used for local performances and classes. Chez Delaurier, a heritage house in the area, is used for events and hosts Acadian meals during the summer. This lovely, unique property provides sanctuary and space for much self- sufficiency.
