Description
The Harry Morse Farm at 4127 Brooklyn Street in Somerset, Nova Scotia, holds significant historical and cultural value as both a heritage home and an operating farm. Its name is derived from its local reference and stands as a living testament to the agricultural history of the Somerset region. With a history spanning over 160 years, the 125+ acre farm and its associated home have played a crucial role in the area's development. The two-story heritage home on the property is a prominent feature on the farm along with three main large barns (two of which have plumbing) and several auxiliary buildings including 3 cold storage units, a 600' long greenhouse, and 2 fully furnished mobile homes for seasonal worker accommodations. Boasting five bedrooms, this spacious farmhouse reflects the design and layout of homes from its era. Additionally, the home contains two full bathrooms – one upstairs and one at the main level that includes an accessible shower. The home features a large family room and living room. The living room's focal point is a sizable fireplace, not only adding to the aesthetics but also providing warmth and comfort during colder months. A vital space in any home, the kitchen at Harry Morse Farm is generous in size. It includes a breakfast nook, underscoring the importance of communal meals and social interaction in historic farm life. A spacious office with a separate locked entryway and a door opening into a kitchen corner helps to ensure home life privacy while maintaining a convenient space for business-related meetings and records. As an operating farm, Harry Morse Farm continues its agricultural legacy, still showcasing strawberries and soybeans remaining from its historical production of various fruits and vegetables including cantaloupe, watermelon, peppers, corn, carrots, turnips, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, apples, raspberries, rhubarb, asparagus, as well as grain, tobacco, beef cattle, and chickens.
