Attention Developers and Investors! This 113 acre parcel on Highway 214 in Elmsdale is in an ideal location to take advantage of the massive growth this area is experiencing. East Hants is currently ranked as the fastest growing municipality in Nova Scotia for both residential and commercial activity. This property is just down the road from the expanding Elmsdale Business Park, the Superstore complex with a new Shoppers Drug Mart flagship store under construction, the Sobeys plaza mall and the heart of Elmsdale itself. A 60 acre piece just ½ mile down the road recently sold for a residential and commercial development project. The 113 acres is currently zoned Rural Use (RU), but the adjacent property that shares a 4000+ foot boarder is zoned as Regional Commercial (RC). Depending on the proposed project and council approval, it may be possible to request a zoning reassignment (to be verified by Buyer). East Hants Land Use Bylaws for both zones are available. The municipality has a reputation for being progressive and willing to working with developers to offer advice and support for community development projects that will benefit the region. The 100 feet of road frontage on Highway 214 is sufficient for a private or even a public road with the right approvals in place. The 113 acres is comprised of approx. 10 acres of farmland, currently being use for hay crops and the balance is mature growth hardwoods and softwoods. There are 30 acres at the back leading to a brook that is low-lying and wet. A portion of this property (the 10 acre hayfield – approx. 10%) will be subject to HST not included in listed price. Be sure to watch the video!
Exit 8 from 102 Highway - head north towards Belnan. Property is on left hand side across from civic number 543.
