A true agricultural paradise in Shefford! Set on an exceptionally peaceful road, this 120-acre (48.56-hectare) property combines a residence, income, agricultural buildings, workable land, quality woodland and outdoor recreation.
The triplex has been completely renovated, inside and out. Its spacious main 6½ unit is arranged over two levels, providing a comfortable and distinctive living environment. The building also includes two 4½ apartments, each rented at $1,085 per month, producing combined gross residential rent of $26,040 per year.
Approximately 20 acres are workable and are currently used for hay production and cattle grazing. This workable portion adds an attractive agricultural dimension to the property and may accommodate various projects, subject to the required verifications and approvals.
All four barns are equipped to receive livestock. One formerly contained approximately 10 horse stalls, and the manure-removal chains and system are operational. The buildings are currently rented for the storage of campers, trucks, motorcycles and snowmobiles. Without maximizing the available space, this use generates approximately $25,000 per year. Combined with the residential rents, current gross revenue is therefore approximately $51,040 annually.
The agricultural buildings include four barns measuring approximately 95 x 50 ft., 35 x 118 ft., 45 x 176 ft. and 48 x 78 ft., plus a garage, shelter and workshop. The workshop was once the farm's butcher shop, an interesting reminder of the property's agricultural history. The existing installations provide an excellent foundation for cattle, equestrian, agricultural or storage project, subject to any required approvals.
The woodland contains quality timber, including yellow birch, hemlock, sugar maple and silver maple, while also offering hobby-scale maple syrup potential. Nearly 5 km of trails wind through the property, and a small creek crosses the land. The size and diversity of the terrain make it excellent for hunting, hiking, ATV riding and a variety of recreational projects.
The area is located in the 2,500 Corn Heat Unit zone. Corn Heat Units are an agroclimatic index measuring accumulated heat during the growing season. They help determine which crops and hybrids are suited to a particular area.
The property is subject to the applicable provisions of Bill 86. Because it exceeds 4 hectares, any purchaser concerned must verify with MAPAQ whether a ministerial identification number is required before acquisition, together with the applicable conditions and exceptions.
A versatile property ready for livestock, an agricultural venture, diversified income or an exceptional country lifestyle.
