St. Margarets Bay is known for its world class sailing waters, friendly neighbourhoods and great amenities, all while being among some of the most beautiful scenery, bike trails, and oceanwater in the province. Come and build your dream home on this spacious south/southwest facing private lot. With 59,000 sq feet and no restrictive covenants, you can plan and carry out your build as you see fit. Power is in and the lot is partially cleared. The St. Margarets Rails to Trails runs right in front of the lot, with a good buffer between the lot and the trail. A C1 septic system has been approved and a dug well is on the property. There is also the benefit of a CNR License Agreement with the deed, which allows the property owner the right to maintain a path that passes over the St. Margaret's Bay Area Rails to Trails as well as easements to cross lands in order to access St. Margaret's Bay from public lands (or other arrangements).More details
