Percy Hill is a beautifully restored century-old farmhouse, located
in the southeastern region of
Prince Edward Island. It is named after
it's last owner, Percy McPherson, whose family has farmed this
beautiful piece of land since 1885. In the middle of a very private
700 acre property, the house is surrounded by gentle rolling farmland
and forest.
The forest is being managed according to the Acadian Forest Familes
Restoration principles, a group of forest owners in the Maritimes,
dedicated to the restoration of the old growth Acadian Forest.

can see Northumberland Strait and the long coast of Nova Scotia. Make
yourself at home and take advantage of the generous interiors.
The home has all wooden floors and is decorated with Island-made
furniture, antiques and original paintings. While having all the
charms of Country living, Percy's has all the conveniences of a luxury
home. If you play the piano, you will enjoy our Mason & Hamlin
upright.

All you have to do is unpack your bags, relax, and soak in the beauty.
The property offers many possibilities for hiking or nature walks. In
the yard are BBQ, lawn furniture and plenty of space for outside
