Description

Recognized as Nova Scotia’s first registered Bed & Breakfast, The Captain Joseph Hall House (c.1881) is a meticulously restored 4-bedroom waterfront property in the postcard-perfect village of Granville Ferry, just across the river from Annapolis Royal. Currently a private residence, this award winning B&B has been operated with distinction for over 50 years, most recently as A Seafaring Maiden. The business was professionally marketed and consistently well-booked, earning many awards to include Trip Advisor Certificates of Excellence Awards and recognition as one of the top B&Bs in Canada. With a strong track record and purpose-built layout, it's perfectly suited for a seamless return to B&B life. Designed for innkeeping, guest spaces are at the front: twin parlours (one with a wood stove), a grand central staircase, formal dining room with original plaster frieze, three river-view guest rooms - two with ensuites, one with a private bath across the hall. The covered front porch also overlooks the water, offering the perfect guest retreat. The private innkeeper’s suite is smartly separated at the back, featuring a bespoke kitchen (Elmira range, marble counters), cozy family room with propane stove, laundry, mudroom, powder room, and a private staircase leading to a spacious primary suite with luxury ensuite (clawfoot tub, marble sink, in-floor heat). Historic details shine throughout - original floors, tin ceilings, ripple-glass windows - while modern upgrades offer comfort and efficiency: new roof, full insulation, fresh exterior paint, updated plumbing and electrical, ducted and ductless heat pumps (full list available). Enjoy a landscaped yard, bonus waterfront lot with gazebo, patio, parking, and private river access - ideal for guests and recreation. An ornate two-level carriage house adds charm and further potential. Walkable to Annapolis Royal, this is an opportunity to revive a beloved, income-generating B&B business. Furnishing can be included.
