At 421 St. Andrews River Road in Shubenacadie, this sprawling 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 3000 sq. ft. one-level bungalow offers a rare blend of rural tranquility and modern convenience on 4.5 impeccably landscaped acres overlooking a serene, park-like setting. Oversized front and rear windows fill the home with natural light and capture picturesque views of mature trees, established gardens, and a beautiful pond that draws abundant birdlife, creating a private sanctuary for those who cherish nature. The warm and inviting layout features a functional kitchen with a pull-out pantry, main-level laundry, high ceilings, and a cozy, comfortable ambiance throughout. The primary bedroom includes double closets and a private half bath, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or hobbies. A peaceful covered porch is perfect for morning coffee, reading, or birdwatching. The expansive lower level, illuminated by ground-level windows and a walkout, offers exceptional versatility with its open-concept design, office area, greenhouse, cold room, utility/storage space ideal for ATVs and equipment, and a dedicated generator room for added security. Outside, the grounds invite leisurely strolls around the lily-lined pond and through groves of fruit and nut trees, apple, plum, walnut, catalpa, tulip. Despite its peaceful seclusion, the home is minutes from the Shubenacadie Canal, the Wildlife Park, and just 15 minutes to Truro’s shopping and restaurants, with Halifax Stanfield Airport only 15 minutes away and Halifax itself just 40 minutes. Practical updates include a new septic system (tank and field), newer windows throughout, three heat pumps, a 2021 oil tank, and two functioning wells, offering comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind for years to come.
