1909 Clementsvale Rd, Bear River, NS B0S 1B0

Own a piece of history in the “Village on Stilts” at the head of the Bear River. This Artist’s enclave, or vintner’s grove, is on the boundary between two counties both alike in dignity, but there's no Shakespearean rivalry here on the border of Annapolis and Digby. This 184 year old property is like the society it is settled in... once a general store, nestled between what used to be an elementary school, and a church, it is now home to two local artists who channel the heritage that is held in this wonderful building, and bring it to life with a contemporary renaissance. Rewired to 200 amp service, insulated, wood stove and 2-head heat pump are just some of the modern features that keep this building up with the times. Designed to have the lower “store” level entered from the street, the airy, bright home sits atop overlooking the cozy village of Bear River. Opportunities here are only limited by your imagination.
