About this 5 - Unusual |
Own a piece of Canadian history! A fabulous two-home property with flexibility, million-dollar views and multiple living options!
Horton Cross House is a 120-year old farmhouse located in rural community of Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. Situated on 1.75 acres surrounded by pastoral farmland, the property offers a priceless view of the tidal waters of the Minas Basin, the historic dyke lands of Grand Pre and Cape Blomidon.
The original home, built in the late 1880’s, is a two story, three bedroom dwelling with a formal dining and living room, kitchen, pantry, bathroom, foyer and maple staircase. In 2002 the house was moved 110 feet to the center of the property and upgraded to meet all current building codes, including new wiring, plumbing, in-floor radiant heating, windows, roofing, siding, insulation and flooring. A 200 amp service and septic system was installed. A fully developed basement that includes a home office, media room, shop and utility room were added. Overall living space is over 2200 sq.ft.
The new location provided an opportunity to add a seperate self-contained, 1600 square foot addition that includes a living and dining room, octagonal sun room with balcony, bedroom with ensuite, artist studio, office, bathroom, storage area and patio walkout.
The property also includes a 34x26 building which was converted into a 34x14 2-car garage and a 28x12 self-contained cottage or office space. A 24x12 barn, tractor shed and a small greenhouse are located at the bottom of the property.
The property has been professionally landscaped and boasts century-old weeping willows, mature trees, extensive perennial gardens, a vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, arbors and walkways.
The sale price includes numerous household and yard items such as all appliances, window coverings, satellite dish, wrought-iron patio set, lawn furniture, lawn tractor, snowblower, table saw, shelving and garden tools.
The suite is currently rented for $925. per month + utilities.
This facility was originally designed for baby boomers care giving their ageing parents but is also the perfect opportunity for the enthusiastic entrepreneur, a small home business or a extended family.
