Parrsboro, Nova Scotia - A Delightful Alliance of Home and Work
This 4 ˝ star Canada Select Bed & Breakfast, an Italian style mansion,
is sitting pretty on a nicely landscaped three-acre lot, backing on one acre of
forest and beckoning with the atmosphere of an exclusive private home.
Operated as a B&B since 1996, Parrsboro Mansion has established
a reputation for gracious hospitality.
It accommodates three spacious guest rooms on the main floor - all with ensuite bathrooms, living room with fireplace and
dining/breakfast room. On the second floor it features an air-conditioned suite and a recreation room with sauna and a
separate shower stall. As an extra bonus… there are spacious owner’s quarters - three large rooms and a private bathroom!
The house was completely renovated in 1993.
Charming architectural details like bracketed eaves; bay windows extending through two storeys and square plan
have been left intact through renovations and blend well with the mansion’s original character.
The house has a full-unfinished concrete basement. The attached wing is on a slab and houses also a workshop/garage.
Owners and guests find a myriad of seating areas on the premises to curl up with a book. From a strategically placed deck
one can watch the kids in the heated and fenced in-ground swimming pool.
Guests enjoy the scenic beauty of the Bay of Fundy, a stroll along miles of nearby beaches, the
"World's Highest Tides, the geological and historical museum, to comb the beaches for fossils, minerals
and semi-precious stones.
The Parrsboro Shore is THE area for nature buffs: Bird watching, hiking trails, eco-tour look off locations,
dramatic cliffs cascade into the sea and these cliffs provide the home for all kinds of seabirds.
Parrsboro is a town of 1600 inhabitants. Prime industries are tourism, blueberries, strawberries,
metal fabrication and forestry. The town has 28 shops and boutiques, 8 restaurants, 4 museums and 2 banks.
There is professional theatre, concerts and festivals throughout July and August.
Parrsboro Mansion is a historic homestead and a supplement income property. The property can serve
for multiple uses and can cope with changing requirements.
The current owners operate the B&B since 1999. They have never pursued proceeds with vigour, since
it always was a supplement income to them. However, premises, location and the lot size allow future
developments, such as
-but not limited to- more guest rooms to make it a viable enterprise, if this will be
a major objective.
The house is sold furnished and equipped as a turnkey operation.
Parrsboro is approx. 1.5 hrs. from two International Airports - Moncton N.B. and Halifax N.S.
Asking Price: C$ 475,000 approx. US $ 475,000 approx. GBP 238,000
