Inexpensive N.S. mansion that captivated Internet is sold – over asking
NEWPORT LANDING, N.S. — An historic manor in rural Nova Scotia that captivated social media users with its ornate finishes and rustic charm has sold over asking — and it may have coattails for other well-priced prestige properties in the province.
The 107-year-old Mounce Mansion in Newport Landing was listed last month at $434,900 and sold for $455,000, though the deal has not yet been closed.
Wanda Graves of Eastern Valley Real Estate said Monday she was stunned the home attracted so much attention, with dozens of inquiries coming in from across the country, the United States and even Ireland after it was listed Feb. 6.
In less than a week, views of the listing surpassed one million on the company’s website and its Facebook post had been shared more than 36,000 times within days.
