Description

Nestled in the quiet countryside of Hants Border, just 10 minutes to Windsor and 40 minutes to Halifax, 251 Ben Jackson Road is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey working hobby farm on 20 beautifully cleared acres, dotted with ornamental and edible apple trees. The charming bungalow has been thoughtfully updated throughout, showcasing an upgraded kitchen with a double farm sink, high-end stainless-steel appliances, a cozy electric fireplace, modern lighting, and a refreshed bathroom with new countertops — every detail designed for comfortable country living. The main floor currently offers two bedrooms plus a laundry room, with the option to relocate the laundry to the lower level and create a possible third bedroom upstairs. The lower level also features an additional bedroom plus a purpose-built Den or office, offering excellent flexibility for growing families or guests. Major mechanical upgrades, including a new air exchanger, a new hot water tank, and a newly replaced well pump and drilled-well wiring, mean the major work is already complete. Step outside and discover an equestrian dream — a stunning 40x60 barn with soaring 12-foot walls, a heated workshop plumbed for a compressor, a tack room with electric heat and running water, a large run-in, and eight mini stalls, complemented by a secondary barn providing even more space for livestock, storage, or equipment. Enjoy a spacious outdoor riding ring measuring 75x125 feet, with 18 fully fenced acres securing the entire property. When the day is done, unwind in your screened gazebo and take in the peace and quiet that only country living can offer. Properties like this are truly one of a kind — don't miss your chance to make it yours.
