Karsdale House: Nestled against the south side of the North Mountain in Nova Scotia's treasured Annapolis Valley, is a very special 36 acre hobby farm. The homestead was established in 1867 and has been lovingly cared for, renovated and expanded to accommodate a luxury rural lifestyle in an understated farmhouse. Extensive flower gardens and shrubs line a quiet brook flowing through the property. The farmhouse has a very large footprint, but one would never know it glancing from the roadside. Over 3,700 sq. ft. on two levels, featuring hand hewn beams, painted floors and an open concept kitchen/living/dining room. Tastefully laid out with a designer's touch, the home is welcoming for a large gathering or snuggling up in front of the fireplace. The extended two level ell offers a media room, music room, sunroom, and potting room, along with a 2nd set of stairs to the upper level. The sunset viewing deck through French doors overlooks the back acreage, and a Juliette balcony on the sunrise side of the home will be appreciated. This wing offers many options and can easily be a home office/study for work or schooling, a project area, an art studio, or a third bedroom. The main home has two bedrooms, one with an ensuite, along with another full bath and reading/writing/sewing area on the upper landing. Acres of level pasture land with a well maintained 25' x 30' barn for animals & hay make this very attractive for those considering a hobby farm. Originally 4 stalls, the barn is presently configured with 2 box stalls, and with its own private driveway. it lends itself to a variety of uses. Not to mention miles of hiking trails through the North Mountain to the Fundy Shore! Only 15 minutes to the historic Town of Annapolis Royal and a stone's throw from the historic site of 'Habitation at Port-Royal' established by France in 1605, it was that nation's 1st permanent settlement in North America. Annapolis Royal voted as one of the 'Best Small Towns in Canada'. 2021-07-20
