"Your house shall be not an anchor but a mast." - Kahlil Gibran, writer Moving represents a significant transition in life, blending excitement for new opportunities with the apprehension of leaving behind the familiar. Recent U.S. Census data indicates that individuals typically relocate about 12 times in their lifetime, with a majority of these moves occurring between the ages of 18 and 45. As our dreams evolve and our horizons broaden, the prospect of packing up and relocating becomes a natural part of our journey, along with a diverse array of emotions that come with such a possible move. I have a secret to share. Drawing from my personal experience growing up in a military family, where frequent moves were the norm, I've developed a unique perspective on the art of moving. I find genuine enjoyment in every aspect of the process, from the anticipation of exploring new surroundings to the logistical challenges of organizing a relocation. This passion for movement and change is actually what drives my dedication to assisting individuals like yourself in navigating the real estate market! Whether you're planning a move to the vibrant streets of NYC, across the state, or even abroad, rest assured that my colleagues and I at Sotheby's International Realty are equipped to facilitate a seamless and successful transition. With our extensive presence spanning 84 countries worldwide, we possess the global network and local expertise to make your journey as smooth and rewarding as possible. Allow us to turn your relocation into an exhilarating adventure, filled with possibilities and opportunities waiting to be discovered. Reach out to us today, and let's embark on this exciting journey together. Wishing you and your loved ones a very joyful beginning of the Spring Season! Warm regards, Kevin

3746 Highway 1 - Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia
$3,295,000 7 Beds 3 Full Baths 2 Half Baths 7,571 Sq Ft.
Built by an American for Americans, this distinguished stone house adjoins an 18-hole golf course in the historic town of Annapolis Royal. Commissioned in 1929 by a far-sighted Pittsburgh industrialist as a standby against another possible World War, it took 6 years to build, using first-class materials, 50 craftsmen and a dozen masons. The result is a one-off landmark. The present owners - only the third - recently undertook a marathon, 7-year modernisation from the ground up, not merely respecting, but enhancing the original builder's design. Strategically positioned on 380 secluded acres of both arable and woodland, and sporting a handsome, canopied driveway, the house includes 17 rooms, 18" thick walls and a massive copper roof. It is literally rock-solid. Designated by the Province of Nova Scotia as ideal for the growing of champagne-style grapes; zoned both residential and agricultural (taxes are under $10,000 US and "capped"); and with ready access to 3 private airports, the property is eminently suited to a discreet and comfortable family compound, summer retreat, equestrian farm or vineyard. Significantly, it is also exempt from Canada's "foreign buyers ban," which applies to urban areas only; and with zoning permission (readily obtainable), it could also become a health centre, retreat or luxury retirement home.

Favorite Charity of the Month! |

Unbound- We believe the smartest path out of poverty is a self-directed one. Our team listens to the children, elders and families we serve, helping them develop personalized plans based on their unique challenges, needs and skill sets. We partner with sponsored friends as they set and achieve their own goals.
When you sponsor through Unbound, you offer a hand up — not a handout — to a family working to lift themselves out of poverty through hard work, initiative and hope. Your monthly contribution of $40 directly benefits the specific individual you sponsor to help meet their basic needs. But your sponsorship does so much more. With your support, our program empowers sponsored individuals and their families with tools to achieve self-sufficiency.
Local staff members work with sponsored families on how to best use their benefits to achieve personal and family goals.
Unbound- 我们认为,摆脱贫困最明智的道路是自我指导。 我们的团队倾听我们所服务的儿童,老人和家庭的声音,帮助他们根据自己的独特挑战,需求和技能制定个性化计划。 我们与赞助的朋友合作,共同设定并实现自己的目标。
当您通过Unbound赞助时,您将为努力通过努力,主动和希望使自己摆脱贫困的家庭提供帮助而不是援助。 您每月的供款$ 40可以直接使您所赞助的特定个人受益,以满足他们的基本需求,但您的赞助所能提供的更多。 在您的支持下,我们的计划可为受助人及其家人提供实现自给自足的工具。
当地工作人员与受资助家庭一起研究如何最大程度地利用他们的福利来实现个人和家庭目标。 |
