Three minutes from the quiet village of Scotsburn and fifteen minutes from historic Pictou, you’ll find this lovely country home situated on a well laid out lot. As you turn onto the quiet lane leading to the house you’ll feel relaxed immediately. The house lies a comfortable distance from the road that the infrequent traffic is rarely heard. Cross the bridge over a trout filled stream into your own private garden of trees, shrubs and perennials. The house has a long history itself. The original structure was soundly built in the late 1800’s on a small hill with farmers fields on three sides and a forest on the other. The strong bones supported different stages of expansion. In 1988, the current family owners took it back to frame and refurbished the house bringing it up to code. The interior plan is ideal for those who like some space and easily accommodates an in-law or caretaker companion. The oak cabinetry in the kitchen/pantry is not to be missed and the trimwork throughout the house boasts excellent craftsmanship. Stay cosy all winter with your option of heating; forced hot air, electric or wood, all designed to allow custom heating wherever you choose to settle for the night. The sitting room with a grand fireplace is the perfect place to end the night with a mug of your favourite beverage and a book drawn from one of the built-in shelves. A full basement with earthen floor has the perfect conditions to house a wine collection if that is your fancy. Water comes to the house via a pump in a drilled well, drawing on a fresh (and delicious) natural aquifer about 150’ underground. Welcome to 49 Heathbell Rd. We hope you come to enjoy it as much as we have.
