Overview:

An unusually attractive offering of a substantial acreage farm, on the water at Point Edward, looking directly across at North Sydney and out to the Atlantic. The predominant part of the farm is a gently sloping open meadow, rising to woods, and with magnificent views towards the Atlantic at the top. 4 outbuildings, including 2 large barns, a smaller horse barn and garage. An additional small piece of land on the water in front is a little over an acre and provides ocean access. An excellent farming or development prospect, about 15 minutes from either Sydney or North Sydney.

Comments:
  • this farm was formerly (up until 10 years ago) run as a profitable dairy farm under the name "Scottland Farm"
  • the acreage has not been worked nor fertilized for a decade
  • all the outbuildings have electricity but the wiring may need attention
  • the large animal barn has 34 stalls
  • the horse barn has 3 box stalls
  • all equipment is INCLUDED in this sale
  • location is 15 minutes from North Sydney and 15 minutes from Sydney, the latter offering the most shopping choices in Cape Breton
  • although the majority of the property is located on the inland side of the road, there is acreage on the Atlantic providing access to the ocean and almost all of the property has an expansive ocean view
  • details of the 51 acres:
    • 49 workable acres with 14 being pasture and 35 being tilled
    • 2 acres treed
    • Perimeter electrified fencing around all acreage
    • Various electrified interior fencing on the pasture acres
