5359 Highway 2, Grand Lake, NS (MLS® 202308215): Attention Horse Lovers, Nature Lovers and Hobbyists! This lake side mini-farm is your dream come true! Located just 25 mins from Halifax, 15 mins from Bedford/Sackville, 10 mins from the airport and within walking distance to two of the best lake/beach/picnic/boat launch parks in HRM! Nestled far off the road with a generous, paved driveway, this custom built Executive 3 bedroom home sits on 2.2 private landscaped acres of lawns, fields & fenced paddocks. At the heart of this property is a well built 5 stall horse barn with R6 zoning that allows for a variety of uses. Have you always dreamed of running a lesson program or boarding stable? There is room to add 3 more stalls and an additional 1 acre of fenced fields is leased from a neighbour at a very nominal rate, providing over 3 acres of turnout space for your horses. Or perhaps you want to keep chickens & goats or operate a dog grooming or kennel business? The stable could also be converted to a guest cottage or workshop/garage/man-cave. The possibilities are endless! There is great value here with pre-approval in place to create 2 additional building lots to recoup your investment. This one owner cape cod home with lovely lake views was custom built to R2000 standards and boasts in-floor radiant heat, cathedral ceilings, chef-inspired cherry wood kitchen and an enormous back deck built for entertaining and wired for a hot tub. The private fenced back lawn is surrounded by mature trees, flower beds and ornamental bushes. The rail line that runs between the farm and the lake is hidden by mature foliage and provides an occasional “toot toot” adding character and charm to this very special property. There is a written agreement with the neighbour that provides access to Grand Lake for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Where else can you find an estate-like hobby farm so close to the city with all the country and recreational benefits priced well under the cost of construction? *Be sure to watch the 3D tour!
