About this home

Presenting 653 Ross Durkee Road in Sandford, NS. This extensively updated property offers 6.5 acres and almost 500 feet of ocean frontage with spectacular ocean and sunset views that make you feel like youre truly at the edge of the world, yet only minutes from all the amenities Yarmouth has to offer. The property has seen extensive recent improvements, including a new 400 amp electrical service, 22kW propane generator, Level 2 EV charger, updated windows and doors, upgraded heating systems, LED lighting, improved driveway and septic system, and a professionally roughed-in basement suite with electrical and kitchenette. Adding even more opportunity is the adjacent "ready-to-rent" cottage, which has also benefited from numerous recent upgrades. With impressive water frontage, privacy, rental potential and a long list of improvements already completed, this is a truly unique property that needs to be seen to be appreciated. (id:51075)
