Photos and Description of the Annapolis Valley vacation house rental 2+ bedrooms. one full & one half bathrooms, sleeps 4 - 6.

A delightfully located and historic, 236 year old, 'Country Georgian' home next to farmland and bordering on the Habitant River estuary on the edge of the historic Acadian hamlet of Habitant, near the old village of Canning. Beautifully situated on the quiet and pretty road to Kingsport, near the Blomidon Ridge Winery (open on Sundays!), the house is surrounded by open farm fields and natural woodland through which flows a year-round brook emptying into the Habitant estuary and its enveloping saltmarsh. Wildlife and migratory birds abound. Wolfville & Kentville with all services, Acadia University & Colleges lie within an easy 15 minute (12 km.) drive; downtown Metro Halifax and the International Airport is an hour and a quarter (120 km.) trip. It is an ideal location for both a restful, quiet vacation with peaceful fields with an abundance of wildlife; active in that the paved roads & paths around are ideal for biking, hiking and touring.
