About 12809 1 Highway

A Rare Hilltop Masterpiece with Breathtaking Ocean Views! Perched high above the Minas Basin with panoramic views of Blomidon and beyond, this one-of-a-kind 3+ acre estate offers a front-row seat to nature’s most spectacular performances—golden sunrises, fiery sunsets, moonlit winter nights, fishing boats returning to harbour, and even the northern lights. Eagles soar overhead, songbirds fill the air, and the peace here is truly unmatched. Crafted for beauty and longevity, the solid brick exterior and striking stone-and-wood interior are virtually maintenance-free—no drywall, just timeless natural finishes. Inside, expansive living spaces are filled with light from towering windows, while two wood stoves, a ducted heat pump, and a propane furnace ensure year-round comfort. Custom details abound, from hand-carved wood accents to a unique pantry and solid oak interior doors weighing 200 lbs. each. Recent updates include refinished main floors (2024/25), luxury vinyl plank in the lower level, and porcelain tile in the kitchen, entry, and bath. The kitchen features porcelain tile countertops and backsplash, paired with a reverse osmosis water system. Outdoors, two expansive decks, including one with an outdoor kitchen, invite you to relax and take in the endless views. Practical features include three independent wells (2 drilled, 1 dug), a walk-in root cellar, wired sound system and a hickory shed with lifetime warranty. The 12" to 18" thick exterior walls keep the home well insulated, quiet and efficient. Located just minutes from Hantsport, Windsor, Wolfville, and Annapolis Valley wineries and farm markets, this private sanctuary offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a vantage point over some of Nova Scotia’s most captivating scenery. Plan your viewing today!
