About This 1800s Nova Scotia Property with River Views
Built in the 1800s, this 2-bedroom, 2 half-bath home stands ready for transformation. Work has been completed, including new electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, and nearly all windows. Recent updates since listing include replacement of remaining windows, full attic insulation, and a completed property survey that added extra square footage to the parcel. Partial new siding enhances curb appeal, while two gravel driveways provide ample parking and could easily convert to a wraparound configuration. Whether envisioning a single-family residence, exploring duplex potential, or pursuing a fix-and-flip opportunity, the property offers strong upside with costly upgrades already handled.
Perched above the Medway River with scenic water views, the home sits just minutes from highway access yet maintains a peaceful atmosphere—15 minutes to Liverpool and 25 minutes to Bridgewater. Remaining work includes installing a new roof, oil tank, exterior siding completion, and interior finishes, giving the next buyer control over final touches. Building materials will convey with the sale.

Mill Village, Nova Scotia, Canada
Mill Village is a rural community in the Region of Queens Municipality that sits along the banks of the Medway River. Originally settled in the late 1700s, it grew into a significant hub for the lumber and logging industries, at one point housing the largest lumber producer in the province. Today, the village is characterized by its quiet atmosphere and historic architecture, with many homes and structures dating back over 180 years.
The community is well known for being the site of Canada’s first satellite earth station, which was constructed in the 1960s. Visitors and residents often frequent the local general store, a historic landmark that serves as a central gathering point near the village bridge. The surrounding landscape offers various outdoor activities, including salmon and trout fishing on the river, kayaking, and easy access to nearby coastal attractions like Carter’s Beach and Kejimkujik National Park Seaside.
In recent years, the village has also become home to the DEVI School, an international boarding school that has brought a diverse global presence to the area. Located just off Highway 103, Mill Village remains a scenic stop for those traveling the South Shore between the larger towns of Bridgewater and Liverpool. The combination of its industrial heritage, natural riverfront beauty, and modern educational institutions makes it a unique pocket of rural Nova Scotia.
