Private lakefront property close to all amenities - just 8 minutes to Pictou in one direction and 10 minutes to New Glasgow in the other. 1600 feet from the highway ramps! Property is comprised of 2 lots. One 12.5 acre lot with an existing driveway on Granton Abercrombie Road and a 3.5 acre waterfront lot across the old rail line. Recoup your investment by subdividing one or both lots - The 12.5 acre parcel has over 600 feet of road front, allowing for multiple lots. The rail line now serves as access to the fish ladder/dam and is open for public non-motorized use (no 4 wheelers permitted). It is a lovely, scenic walking and biking trail that takes you all the way across the inlet. Middle River Lake was once connected to Pictou Harbour but became a freshwater lake when the dam was constructed in the late 60's. The lake is abundant with small mouthed bass and several varieties of trout. Because there are very few residents on this lake, the fish population is healthy and the water is clean. This is the perfect lake for swimming, fishing, boating (motorized boats are permitted), kayaking, or just throwing sticks for the dog while your kids play on their floaties. There's a public boat launch just around the corner at Pump House Road. The front lot was recently partially cleared and has a nice buffer of trees for privacy. The soil is well suited for agriculture. The lakefront lot is mostly treed with a cleared path down to the lake. Build your dream home or hobby farm on the roadside parcel and enjoy private lake access across the trail! Granton Abercrombie Road is a paved, well maintained road with power poles and high speed internet out front. All amenities such as shopping, hospital, fitness centre, restaurants, live entertainment and farmers markets are just minutes away. The schools in this area are fantastic and the community is welcoming. Be sure to watch the video tour! Note: One of the sellers is licensed to trade in Real Estate in the province of Nova Scotia.
