Historic c1780 Colonial Estate with panoramic views of the Annapolis River in Tupperville, Nova Scotia. Set atop nearly 30 pastoral acres in the heart of Tupperville, this distinguished Colonial residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Canadian history. Known as the 'Delancey Estate', this remarkable home overlooks sweeping farmland, the winding Annapolis River, and the mountains beyond - an iconic view matched only by the estate's storied past.

The residence features four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, and exceptional country kitchen with a beehive oven. Six additional fireplaces throughout the home, each adding warmth and ambiance. Elegant living, dining and office spaces filled with natural light - ideal for entertaining or remote work.
