About this home

This exceptional 16.42-acre parcel offers an impressive 2,600 feet of frontage on Gay’s River, blending open pasture with mature trees for privacy and postcard-worthy views. The owners have started the legwork. With a septic design already completed, much of the groundwork is in place to move your plans forward. A garage permit is approved, the garage slab has already been poured, and a shed is on site, adding immediate value and convenience. A gate across the driveway provides security and privacy, with some NS Power poles installed to help simplify future development. The landscape is ideal for a dream home. Enjoy peaceful rural living minutes from Elmsdale’s amenities, 25 minutes to Truro and approx 40 minutes to Halifax. Private, prepared, and packed with potential—properties like this don’t come along often.
