Nestled on a peaceful country road and surrounded by nearly 10 acres of natural beauty, this private retreat offers comfort, space, and a touch of the unexpected. The 2,744 sq. ft. home is set among mature trees-hemlock, yellow birch, and beech-with its own pond, raised garden beds, apple orchard, and a wide-open back field, perfect for those seeking serenity and a strong connection to nature. Inside, the main level features hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and large windows that fill the living room with light. Vaulted ceilings add an airy feel, and the layout flows easily between the kitchen, dining area, and living space. A screened sunroom overlooks the field, ideal for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Also on this level are a spacious mudroom, four-piece bath, primary bedroom with private two-piece ensuite, and a second bedroom. A striking cedar-lined circular staircase leads to the lower level, home to a cozy family room with wood stove and wet bar, plus two additional rooms for guests, hobbies, or office space, a cold room, and a third bathroom. The detached 1,344 sq. ft. garage offers two bays, a wood stove, and a workshop that could serve as a studio or office. Just four minutes away, the village of St. Andrews offers everyday essentials, a curling rink, community centre, and was honoured with the Lieutenant Governor's Community Spirit Award in 2009. For expanded services, dining, and culture, Antigonish is a short 15-minute drive, home to St. Martha's Regional Hospital and St. Francis Xavier University. (id:63267)
