Overview
Description
±65 Acres of R-6 Development Land — Brunt Road, Harrietsfield, NS A genuine opportunity for builders and developers — approximately 65 acres of R-6 zoned land in Harrietsfield, set within an established residential community just minutes from Halifax. The site sits directly across from Harrietsfield Elementary School, anchoring it in a neighbourhood that's already lived-in and growing. The land is vacant and untouched by any structures, giving a buyer a true blank slate. The interior is largely cleared, framed by natural treed buffers along the perimeter, with two points of access already in place — off Brunt Road and Mercury Avenue. Adding real value here: preliminary subdivision concept plans for 8 lots along the Brunt Road frontage have already been brought to the City. While this concept has not received final approval, the groundwork has been laid — giving a buyer a head start to pursue approval and begin development right away, or to move forward in phases as the broader parcel is subdivided over time. R-6 zoning opens the door to a range of residential development concepts, and at this scale, the possibilities extend well beyond a single project. It's a fit for builders planning ahead, seasonal developers looking to stage work across phases, or investors who see the long-term value in holding a parcel this size in a market where land like this rarely comes up. The location works in the buyer's favour too — close to area lakes and recreation, walking distance to community amenities, and a quick run up Old Sambro Road into downtown Halifax. Sizeable, accessible, and zoned for what's next. Opportunities like this don't sit on the market long.
