Nova Scotia's Balmoral Farm is for sale. It's among the nicest farms for sale in Atlantic Canada. The four bedroom house is reconditioned inside and out. The farm has 108.5 acres of prime Nova Scotia farm land with three excellent barns, approximately 50 acres of open fields and pastures, two brooks and lots of fresh, quality water.
It's in the ideal, central Maritime Canada location near Tatamagouche- an hour from Halifax International Airport, with easy access to New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton or anywhere in Nova Scotia. It's close to a sleepy country road that's just three miles long and services primarily the few local farms in the area.
Farm is being sold with existing animals and farm machinery. Among animals are three Arabian saddle horses, five miniature horses, 20 miniature goats, two potbelly pigs, two sheep, rabbits, homing pigeons, barn cats at all. The seven year-old Case tractor is 80 HP with full cab, air conditioning, stereo, swivel arm-chair seat, 4-wheel drive, heavy duty loader, bucket and bale fork, new snow blower, bush cutter, spreader, Horst 12-ton wagon, garden tiller and gas generator for back-up power.
At 2,500 sq ft, the farm house is roomy enough for the largest families and the center hallway design keeps it efficient and functional while affording maximum privacy throughout. The new basement is high and dry, well lighted and ventillated with all concrete floors. Half the basement has new concrete walls; the other half retains the beautiful stonework so typical of Nova Scotia century farm homes.
The house and contents alone are currently insured for more than $400,000.00 replacement value. Property taxes are about $600.00 a year including fire protection, weekly garbage and recycle pickup and school bus services for children. The farm has an abundant supply of excellent quality water from a deep, drilled well as well as a new septic tank and field.

One kitchen door opens to the porch at back and another to the front porch. Both porches are large enough for as many as 10 comfortably for barbecues, etc. Off the kitchen is a double livingroom- or living/dining room- (14 X 11 and 13 X 11). The two rooms are connected by large, full arch-way- each with 15-pane French doors. Both have original (narrow) hardwood floors- in excellent condition (refinished 2001).

The three barns are insured for replacement value of $197,000.00.
This is a perfect horse farm setting. The package includes nine horses: three beautiful Arabian saddle horses and six miniature horses, among the animal population that goes with the farm. All barbed wire has been removed from the fields for the safety of the horses and wildlife and e-fencing is utilized. A deep drilled well provides abundant fresh water supply and is tested annually by the Dept of Health. It is of excellent drinking quality and sufficient volume to maintain a large farming operation.
Tiger Lillies and a variety of flowering shrubs surround the house and border the brook. Mature maple trees line both sides of the brook that runs within 30 feet from the house, stretching the length of the property. Beside the brook on one pasture are several shady apple trees and huge wild rose bush- a perfect setting for quiet contemplation and reading, or to stimulate the creative juices. The nearby Elm hulk is a favourite resting place for a Bald Eagle family in early morning.
