Property Description

Steeped in history and rich with natural beauty, the Beau Soleil homestead is one of Nova Scotia's most storied properties - originally built in the mid-1700s with foundations of the original Acadian settlement still present on site today. Set in the heart of the Annapolis Valley on approximately 85 acres of fertile fields and mature woodland, this property offers an exceptional mix of heritage significance, natural character, and practical potential. A peaceful old logging trail winds through the forest, leading past a Ducks Unlimited protected pond network, while cleared areas with rich, workable soil remain ready for future agricultural use. Scattered fruit and berry trees add seasonal charm and bounty throughout the grounds. A public boat launch on the Annapolis River sits directly across the street, providing easy water access. The four-bedroom, 1.5-bath century home retains most of its original woodwork, trim, and interior doors, with softwood floors throughout the upper level and much of the main floor - a true reflection of the craftsmanship and character of its era. Heating is flexible and efficient, with three new Heat Pumps (2024), a central oil/wood combination furnace system (2000/2014), and a WETT-certified wood stove anchoring the kitchen. Additional recent updates include Roof Shingles (2019), electrical upgrades, and full basement waterproofing completed in Winter 2024. Whether you're drawn by the history, the land, or the lifestyle, this is the kind of property that defines a place - and properties like this rarely come to market.
