House For Sale in:
Norton, NB

This beautiful, bright, 4-bedroom home on 11 acres is a perfect place for hobby farming and raising a family. Lots of space for gardening and exploring, with three streams, maple trees for tapping, and a separate building with a small office and home gym space. It has a geothermal heat pump, which is a huge help in saving on utilities! There is also a wood stove, just for days when you crave the warmth of a fire. There is plenty of storage space in the unfinished basement (which also has the potential to be finished). Four good-sized bedrooms, a bathroom, and a linen closet are located on the top floor. There's plenty of living space on the main level: besides the kitchen and bathroom, there’s a dining room, library/studio, living room, mudroom, and another office. There is a combined total of 2200 square feet of finished living space.

In the yard, we have apple trees, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, currants, blueberries and rhubarb, plus 18 raised beds (4 ft X 8 ft each) full of beautiful soil, for all your gardening needs. We typically use the field on the other side of the house to plant potatoes. We have raised pigs, chickens, ducks, and meat rabbits here, and we breed Labradors here as well (of course, there is always a cat around to keep the mice at bay). There are so many possibilities to make it exactly what you wish it to be.

The house is ideally located at 921 Guthrie Rd., Springfield: it’s just 5 minutes from the Belleisle schools (kindergarten all the way through grade 12), less than 8 minutes from at least 3 gorgeous swimming spots (if you prefer to swim in a pool, Belleisle Elementary has one that is open to the public). It’s just 12 minutes from Hampton, 20 minutes from Sussex, 40 minutes from Saint John, and 60 minutes from both Fredericton and Moncton. Very central, despite being out in the country. The drives in every direction are breathtaking.

Friendly neighbours are a short stroll away, if you like visiting, but not too close (if you don’t). There is also a golf course and restaurant, a convenience store, pizza shop, and a popular seasonal food truck within easy walking distance. You’ll love the scenic walking options along the country roads or through the woods, whether you are looking for a pleasant evening stroll or a fresh morning run. There are several wonderful hiking trails nearby, and waterfalls in three different directions.

The home has a lot of history and excellent bones! The original section was built 170 years ago; you can still see some of the beautiful, original log beams in the basement. New sections were added more recently. The foundation has been updated with a mix of cinder block and poured concrete. It is a solid home that has stood the test of time, and still has a lot of that classic heritage farmhouse feel.

We can accommodate a quick closing.
