Foot of the Mountain Farmhouse-New Upgrades!! Air conditioning!

About this space
Foot of the Mountain Farmhouse is a 180 year old home at the base of the North Mountain in Sheffield Mills within a 15 minute drive to nearby towns on one side and the scenic Bay of Fundy on the other or 1hr 20 minutes to Halifax, the South Shore or Digby.
The Farmhouse is a spacious home with 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 living rooms and multiple spaces including patios on both sides for multiple families or a group of friends to gather together, use as a launchpad or find quiet spaces to unwind.
The space
The Farmhouse is a spacious getaway surrounded by nature, birds and the resident chipmunk, but still 15 minutes from major towns in the valley. Child and pet friendly, the home has a fenced in front yard and child accessories available (crib, high chair, stroller, baby gates and monitor). Rooms are spacious but retain original character with wide planked floors and sloped ceilings in the upstairs rooms. It is a great launch pad for attending events in the area, exploring the Annapolis Valley, or relaxing with a group of friends or family.

The outdoor space is a highlight of the property. Both patios on the north and south sides are surrounded by gardens with great views. The main patio has sitting, eating and campfire areas with a rock water feature, nestled under a 200 year old Maple with a view of the riding ring and fields of the neighbouring equestrian centre. The north side faces the mountain and a family owned vineyard.

The nearby towns of New Minas, Wolfville, and Kentville are a 15 minute drive in one direction; Halls Harbour, Scotts Bay and Blomidon in the other. Most immediate needs can be found in the adjacent village of Canning (4 km) which offers several options for dining in or take out, a local meat market for fresh options for the grill including local vegetables and baked goods, a grocery store including a liquor store, pharmacy, spa, art gallery and more. The Farmhouse is a short drive to many wineries, beaches, golf courses, lobster dining, hiking sites such as Cape Split, and outdoor theatre at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts.

Inside, a bright open kitchen is the gathering place for friends and family. The fully functional kitchen includes a microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, a seating area and a kitchen table for morning coffee. The dining room with original floors, and a brick wall from one of the original chimneys with a built in dutch oven accommodates a large group comfortably for dining. There are two living rooms including one with a wide screen tv. Multiple bookcases throughout the home offer books and games for all age groups and interests.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, a full bath, while downstairs has an easily accessible bedroom with connecting ensuite. There is also an additional full bath/laundry room on the main floor. Recent upgrades include air conditioning in all rooms, but one (fans provided in that room), propane “wood” stove, and new windows. There are two sets of stairs going to the second floor; a standard set and the original steep back stairs common in homes of this era that should be used with caution. Baby gates can be provided upon request.
Guest access
The entire home and property are available to guests for their private use, excluding out buildings, basement and attic. There are two driveways with parking on either side of the house. Guests will enter on the north side of the house when they arrive via an access code for the north door.
