Description
8989 Highway 221, Sheffield Mills NS This timeless property, situated on 6.17 acres of rolling countryside, holds within its walls the echoes of centuries past. At its heart stands a charming three-bedroom, post-and-beam 1761 New England Planter Saltbox house, affectionately known as The Borden House. Originally crafted for Samuel Borden, a notable Crown surveyor from Rhode Island and the great-great-grandfather of Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden, this home is a testament to enduring craftsmanship and historical significance. Surrounded by open fields, mature hardwoods, and the tranquil murmurs of North Brook, the property evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity. Two barns, weathered by time yet sturdy in their construction, stand as guardians of the land, offering ample space for storage, workshops, or creative endeavours. The house itself, though in need of extensive renovation, exudes character and potential at every turn. While it may not be habitable in its current state, it serves as a blank canvas awaiting the brushstrokes of restoration and revival. Despite its rustic charm, The Borden House is not isolated from modern conveniences. Located just a stone’s throw away from the vibrant town of Canning, residents can easily access amenities such as shops, restaurants, and the renowned Mill Stone Brewery. Furthermore, the property’s proximity to Kingsport Beach and the Bay of Fundy adds a touch of coastal allure to its rural setting. Join us as we embark on a journey to uncover the hidden gems of this historic treasure. Though not currently livable, The Borden House beckons with promise and potential, awaiting the touch of visionary restoration to breathe new life into its storied walls.
