St. Peter’s area, 100-Acre Farm with Brook, Barn & old Homestead Welcome to a beautiful, historic farmstead offering approximately 100 acres of privacy and potential — just a short drive from both St. Peter’s and Port Hawkesbury, and only minutes to the local hospital. At the heart of the property is a year-round brook, a man-made pond, and a peaceful setting perfect for farming, homesteading, or creating a new rural business. The land features an old apple orchard, trails once used for horses, and a solid, elevated parking area near the house that’s currently grown in with grass but still accessible and practical. A large 40x80 barn sits on the land, full of character and history, ready for restoration or repurposing. The old farmhouse was partially restored over 25 years ago to run a small business, and while the main level has been lived in, it now requires refurbishing. You can choose to restore the existing home or build your dream farmhouse in this incredible setting. Other features include: A large commercial-grade septic system A high-capacity drilled well producing 21 imperial gallons per minute A very private location at the end of a public road — the snowplow clears right to the driveway A former public road through the property that is no longer maintained or in use, enhancing your seclusion Whether you're looking to farm, create a horse property, run a rural business, or simply enjoy a peaceful life surrounded by nature, 1520 Back Road is a rare and special offering — a true gem in Cape Breton’s countryside.
