Overview
Description
Here’s your chance to secure a 2-acre parcel in the desirable community of Westmount, just a 2-minute drive from the Canadian Coast Guard College and minutes from Sydney’s amenities. With land registration complete, this property is ready for a quick sale and future development. The lot offers 37 feet of road frontage on Babcock Drive, widening to 100 feet, and extends approximately 1,000 feet deep. According to CBRM Planning & Development, the property is serviced by municipal sewer at the roadside. A well would be required for water, and if municipal water is preferred, a developer would be responsible for extending the water main from Westmount Road with a CBRM-approved contractor. Zoned Low Density Urban Residential, the property is suitable for residential home construction (buyer to confirm specifics with CBRM Planning). It is currently assessed as Resource Taxable, meaning out-of-province buyers are not subject to the 10% deed transfer tax (buyer’s lawyer to confirm). Nearby amenities and attractions include Petersfield Provincial Park (walking trails, picnic areas, historic ruins), Marty’s Chip Wagon, and the Dobson Yacht Club — all within a short 5-minute drive. A fantastic opportunity to build in a sought-after community, offering both convenience and charm. Full listing details on Realtor.ca MLS® #202520769
