Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a thriving farm which has flourished into a productive business. Continue the operation, and potentially add/replace with equestrian, livestock, or mixed-use agricultural hobby farm options. Nestled in the scenic countryside of New Canada, the haskap berry bushes have offered a reliable and abundant yield each season. The property comprises approximately 70% planted land (60,000 haskap berry bushes with a very expensive irrigation system in place), 10% cleared land with a pond, 20% wooded land, and the remaining for the resident’s home, barn and outdoor equipment/tractors area. All three PID’s (60271574, 60271566 and 60400421) are on 112 acres. Anchoring the property is a 13,880 square foot cattle barn with storage space on three levels. A convenient structure for livestock, storage, and farming equipment. The dug well is gravity fed to the cattle barn and soil reports are available by request. Electrical service could be available from the power pole in front of the barn (it is not currently connected). The additional two-bedroom home is 900 square feet of living area with an equivalent footprint in the basement. Haskap berries have emerged as a promising crop in the global frozen berry market due to their nutritional value, versatility, and adaptability. Their unique taste and dense nutritional profile appeal to health-conscious consumers, while their versatility makes them suitable for products such as jams, juices, wines, and dairy-based goods like ice cream. Centrally located, the property is a mere twelve kilometers from the town of Bridgewater, just upstream along the picturesque LaHave River. The property is also close to the south shore communities of Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester. The city of Halifax is an hour east from Bridgewater along highway 103.
