Property Description

Welcome to 553 Black River Road — Your New-to-You Hobby Farm! Just 10 minutes from River John, this private 18.5-acre property offers space, versatility and plenty of opportunity to embrace a rural lifestyle. The property features a charming three-bedroom home, a 76' x 30' barn, and an impressive heated and insulated woodworking shop. The barn previously accommodated larger animals and could easily be converted back for livestock, with additional space for firewood, storage or smaller animals. A loft and chicken coop with feeding equipment add even more functionality. Inside, the home offers a spacious mudroom with firewood storage, a large den with wood stove, country kitchen with a generous pantry, and a cozy pine-finished living room. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two generous rooms and a smaller bedroom with a huge walk-in closet. The bright bathroom has been updated within the past five years. Improvements include most replacement windows, upgraded attic wiring and a heat pump added in 2019. Heating is provided by a wood/oil combination furnace, heat pump and main-floor wood stove. With 18.5 acres to explore, there's room for gardening, ATVs, snowmobiling, hunting or creating your own hobby farm. The East Branch River John River is directly across the road, offering easy access to nature and fishing. Enjoy peaceful country living while remaining close to amenities—less than 20 minutes to the ocean, under 30 minutes to Tatamagouche and approximately 25 minutes to historical town of Pictou. If you're looking for space, privacy and the freedom to create your own rural lifestyle, 553 Black River Road is worth a look!
