Overview
Description
Lakefront home and equestrian centre with 12 acres on Pentz Lake! This custom-built timber-framed home was designed with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, but was converted to 2 large bedrooms with 3 bathrooms (one bedroom with ensuite). It wouldn’t take much to bring back the 3rd bedroom. Recent upgrades include: new composite hardwood flooring, new vinyl windows, new roof, updated septic. Enjoy views of the lake from every window! With crown land running along one full side of it, Pentz Lake is lovely clean, low traffic lake. You will enjoy many hours of fishing (motor boats are permitted), kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming off your own private dock. 3 parcels are included in this sale – PID #’s 45139110 (9.1 acres), 45282886 (2.9 acres) & 45405065 (0.4 acres), providing potential for future development. Included in the sale is a 20 stall horse barn with a full 2 bedroom apartment in the loft. The apartment on its own could be rented for $2,000/month, or you could use it for staff accommodations in exchange for labour. The 65’ x 150’ indoor arena was built on full footings and frost-walls and could be used for horses or as a garage or commercial enterprise. A recent contractor quote to build a similar size arena came in at over $500,000. There are multiple paddocks, run-in sheds, a 100' x 200' outdoor riding ring and detached storage garage. The going rate for horse board is $1,200/month and where this property is located so close to HRM, there would be waiting list! The farm is nestled well back from the road and is surrounded by a buffer of trees with 1000 feet of lakefront on Pentz Lake. The municipality has confirmed that horse/business use is compliant with zoning bylaw and will continue to be so with new ownership. There is no HST on this sale.
