About 8406 Highway 217

Welcome to 143 acres of woodlands, pastures and ocean frontage located 20 kms from the centre of Digby. The entrance of this magnificent estate greets you with apple tree dotted pastures, a riparian area of flowing watercourses, a beautifully contoured forested area prior to arriving at the summit, which encompasses a 360-degree sprawling ocean and valley view. A 1km crushed rock driveway and over 1km of trails provide this full sun property with varieties of development options. Watch the sun rise from the east over St Mary’s Bay and watch it set west into the Bay of Fundy. There is 695 feet of accessible oceanfront on St Mary’s Bay. The land is ready for a variety of uses from growing fruits/vegetables/grapes, the ability to have livestock, the freedom to hunt or fish. Ever wanted a Xmas tree farm? The crop is ready for grooming, or perhaps even build a resort or private getaway. If the land mammals get boring to watch you could look to the sea to watch seals, dolphins, and the occasional whale. Looking to the west from the summit there are sensational views of the Bay of Fundy, the Island of Grand Manan, and the ships passing in between as well as the valley. To the east across St Mary’s Bay is the historic Gilbert’s Cove lighthouse and the expansive view, which takes in most of the Bay’s western shore including another incredible historic view of the spire of the Church at Clare. The top of Rocky Ridge Estate, the summit, has approximately 10 acres cleared with a prepared building site, garden, and yard site development, and also the 4-wheel drive access road to Saint Mary’s Bay. The area is ideal to build off-grid. There is an estimated 30 cleared acres of land with around 20 seeded to hay. At one time it was a small farm, but the house was beyond repair, was demolished and hauled away. It must be seen to be believed. Imagine your morning walks being measured in kilometres without leaving the yard. Book a showing and experience it for yourself!
