Quietly living its best life on ¾ of an acre, this 5-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect mix of nature, charm, and convenience, just a short stroll from the vibrant, artsy village of Bear River. Whether you’re after a quiet retreat, room to grow, or a creative haven close to town, this one checks all the boxes. Inside, the spacious 1.5-storey layout delivers generous rooms and flexibility, ideal for families, hobbyists, remote workers, or anyone dreaming of a home studio. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with plenty of potential for your personal touch. Step outside and prepare to exhale. A meandering brook (complete with seasonal soundtrack) and calming river views set the stage, while the landscaped garden and sunny patio call for morning coffees and evening glasses of wine. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to linger. Modern updates include a drilled well, a propane boiler (installed in 2022), and a pellet stove (installed in 2023), keeping things cozy and efficient. A wired single garage adds extra value, whether you need a workshop, studio space, or simply a place to store your kayak. Walk to Bear River’s galleries, cafés, and quirky community events, or take a 15-minute drive to Digby for legendary seafood and full amenities. Don’t sleep on this one—properties like this are few and far between.
From Highway 101, take exit 25 to Bear River. Turn right onto River Road. Property will be on the right. Watch for the sign.
