The Backyard and the View of Blomidon

house from further down the lawn, with apple blossomAs well as its awesome view, our house in Wolfville has a sprawling backyard with old gardens and apple trees. It's a lovely place to sit and relax or to take a stroll. The property occupies half a block, which offers you a lot of privacy.

A BBQ and lawn furniture are provided.

Sunset over Cape Blomidonenjoying the back yardThe fabled cliff of Cape Blomidon, the headland of the ridge known as the North Mountain that protects the fertile Annapolis Valley from the Bay of Fundy wind and tides, draws the eye from anywhere it can be seen. You will find yourself contemplating Blomidon in its serene watch over the ever-changing tides of the Minas Basin from the dining room as you eat breakfast, and from the kitchen as you prepare a delicious meal with ingredients from the Farmers' Market. The view changes with the light, the cloud cover, and the state of the sea. For more photos of Blomidon, see the photo essay, Focus on Blomidon.
