This stunning executive rancher enjoys one of the most incredible views in all of eastern Canada. Facing south with sweeping views to the east of the waters of the Minas Basin, the skyline of Acadia University in Wolfville, and far to the west down the lush and fertile Annapolis Valley. A true 'sunrise to sunset' view. No two days are exactly the same, as the views change by season, active farming on expansive fields, orchards, and vineyards below, and constantly changing daily weather that can be seen approaching from all directions. There is nothing consistent with the view, just various forms of sublime beauty day in and day out. The Annapolis Valley has a warmest and sunniest weather in eastern Canada, protected from the fog and cooler air from the oceans surrounding Nova Scotia. It has become home to one of Canada's few robust wine making regions, drawing international acclaim and awards.
