Overview
Description
Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind hobby farm, where charm, functionality, and potential come together. This beautifully updated four-bedroom home sits on a sprawling 22-acre parcel with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. With over 12,000 square feet of barn space, a concrete silo, and an upgraded 19 by 14-foot chicken coop, the property is well-equipped for a variety of agricultural ventures. Eleven acres of workable land are currently maintained as hayfields, and approximately six acres are newly fenced with permanent farm fencing, including double 10-foot and 20-foot gateways for easy pasture access. The three-level side-split home features a metal roof and numerous recent upgrades. In the past two years alone, renovations include a brand-new kitchen with updated wiring and plumbing, refreshed main bathroom with tiled shower, new flooring, new stairs, updated lighting and ceiling fans, French doors to the sunroom, fresh trim, and new interior paint. The main living space is warmed by a high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace insert and complemented by a ductless heat pump that also services the lower-level recreation room. One of the home's most versatile updates is the fully finished walk-out basement, currently operated as a successful short-term rental. This income-generating space provides flexibility for personal use, multigenerational living, or continued business potential. The property includes two legal driveways (one currently fenced for privacy), a pond, and natural separation from neighboring land via the scenic Dickey Brook. The well has never run dry even when there was 75 dairy cattle living here. Located minutes from Musquodoboit Valley Provincial Park, local schools, and hospital services — and just 41 minutes from Halifax International Airport — this property offers rural peace with accessible convenience.
