Southwest Nova Scotia has some unique properties. 1542 Canaan Road - only 20 minutes from the Town of Yarmouth - is one of them. This one-level 1280 sq.ft. home on 66 acres of forest on the beautiful Tusket River is a private setting with engaging seasonal views. A full solar system with a generator for backup supports off-grid living. This attractive home is fully wired and has all the electrical options needed, including high-speed Fibre Internet. It is easy to heat with multiple heating services, including in-floor heating, a cozy wood stove, and a wall- unit propane heater. BONUS: The property includes a one-room, insulated and furnished off-grid cabin in the forest only .5 km away from the primary residence via an old logging road. The peacefulness will intrigue you. Also unique is the condition of sale. The sellers will retain a "Life Interest" in the property and remain as long as their health permits. They will pay rent to the new owners, be responsible for utilities, and be caretakers of the property. Everything's negotiable, including the ability for you to spend your vacations at this special place. If you want to buy a unique investment property, secure a gift for your children, or buy a retirement home, this property may be the right fit for you. More information and a video with aerial footage and inside photos are available.
