554 Harold Whynot Road

Description

The Whynot homestead was first built as a church by the Lutheran and Presbyterian congregation of Middle LaHave, on the edge of the LaHave River. It was relocated in the late 1800's, hoisted onto skids and moved across the river. At another crossroads in its history, the building was raised yet again and drawn by oxen up the frozen river to the Bridgewater government wharf - eventually to find its permanent location in Pine Grove, two miles from town. Extensive renovations began in 1889. It was run as a children's home for ten years until it was sold outside the church. The greater part of its life was as the Whynot farmstead for what was, at that time, the largest dairy farm in Lunenburg County, associated with The Bridgewater Diary. Today this farmhouse sits on 3 acres and in more recent years has been known as the Bethany Country Inn, with its welcoming historic ambiance . Though at present it functions as a private home, it would certainly adapt well as an inn, located adjacent the Golf Course on the outskirts of Bridgewater. The house retains much of its original character, including covered verandahs, old bell tower, large country kitchen with pantry, large reception rooms, high ceilings and boasts a grand original staircase. The house has both a wood and oil burning furnace and an industrial 25 ft x 35 ft garage. Located two minutes off the 103 Highway adjacent other premium homes, Canadian Tire and Walmart. An ideal candidate for a good old fashioned country inn with its SEVEN, spacious bedrooms ALL WITH ENSUITE BATHS ! This well priced business development opportunity is just one hour and fifteen minutes to either Halifax or the airport. Minutes walk to the Osprey Ridge Golf Course and just one minute's drive to shopping, restaurants and the Best Western Inn. After all these years, this historic structure still retains a notable presence as one rounds the bend in the road. Great value at the edge of the fastest growing small town in Nova Scotia !
