Overview
Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully approved harbourfront building site in the Town of Yarmouth. The value here is in the land, location, and extensive development work already completed. The existing house and detached garage are being sold as-is and are best suited for removal. The current owner has completed survey work, engineering, and permitting for a new 30' x 46' residence, allowing a buyer to move forward without the typical delays and uncertainty involved in waterfront development. The approved footprint and site positioning have already been established, with setbacks, grading, drainage considerations, and finished floor elevation addressed through the approval process. The relationship to the ordinary high water mark has also been confirmed through survey. The proposed home concept shown in the available plans is intended as one example of what could be built within the approved footprint and location. A buyer may choose to proceed with the existing concept or explore alternate designs within the approved building envelope, subject to any required municipal approvals. The lot offers approximately 100 feet of direct harbour frontage with unobstructed views across Yarmouth Harbour and toward the Yarmouth Bar. A small private beach area adds to the setting, along with direct shoreline access. Located within walking distance to downtown amenities, the Yarmouth County Rail Trail, and local services, this is one of the few opportunities to build new along the harbour side of Water Street. Municipal water and sewer services are available at the street, along with power at the site, further reducing upfront development time and cost. With key infrastructure, engineering, and approvals already secured, a buyer can focus on construction rather than planning. This property is ideally suited for someone looking to build a modern waterfront home in a location where new development opportunities are extremely limited.
