Exceptional development opportunity on Nova Scotia’s scenic South Shore. This 0.35-acre parcel at Lot 2 Highway 3 in Martin’s River is zoned MU, with written confirmation from the municipality indicating potential for up to four residential units as-of-right, creating exciting possibilities for investors, builders, and developers alike. The lot is predominantly cleared and level, offering an efficient building footprint with potentially reduced site preparation and excavation costs. A major bonus for future development is the existing 695 sq. ft. wired workshop/garage (18.8 X 37) featuring insulated walls, a brand new roof, 100 amp electrical service, extensive lighting, multiple outlets, and excellent space for vehicle storage or contractor use. An additional 10x14 metal shed provides another 140 sq. ft. of storage space.

Located less than 10 minutes from Mahone Bay, approximately 20 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg, and under 50 minutes to Halifax, this location combines small-town coastal living with convenient access to major amenities, shopping, restaurants, and employment hubs. Bridgewater, the South Shore’s primary shopping and service center, is also nearby. The ongoing Highway 103 twinning project further highlights the province’s continued investment and anticipated growth throughout the South Shore region.
