The Farmhouse
The +5000 ft2 (386 m2) main house situated at the road entrance of the property boasts the charm of its 19th century origin throughout its three floors of living space and basement. The main floor offers an enclosed sunroom with wood stove adjoining it to the main kitchen and dining area, a large great room, full bath, and additional room currently equipped with a secondary kitchen and a window seat.
​
With no limits to the space in this house, the Annex, accessed off the south side kitchen leads to a private getaway in the master bedroom with 20-foot (6-metre) vaulted ceilings and south facing windows that give stunning views of the property, a half bath with shower, and ample storage.
​
The opposite end of the main farmhouse features an elegant, solid oak staircase inviting you to an additional living area including master bedroom with walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The attic offers two more bedrooms with potential for personalizing to your heart’s desire, perhaps a studio or an office space. The fully insulated basement offers immense potential with its expansive and segmented design, as well as the opportunity to get away and relax in your own personal 4x6’ (1.2x1.8m) solid cedar, electric sauna.

The Farm Business
A second-generation farm established in 1992, Owen and Sina transitioned operations of Four Seasons Farm in 2012 from Owen’s family. Thriving since its beginning, the certified organic vegetable farm has been operating continuously for 22 years and provides a steady, well established, and varied supply of traditional and specialty vegetables, as well as culinary herbs, primarily to the Halifax area. Since diversifying its offering in recent years, it now also bears more than 60 fruit and nut trees as well as beautiful cut flowers. Four Seasons Farm operated a micro-cultivation license until 2023 to grow cannabis under the “Bud & Blossom” brand, including all required infrastructure to cultivate, cure and store cannabis.
​
Growing annually, the business has fully sustained and supported farm ownership working full time year-round and a typical employee base of five, working full time from March to November. Equipped with an established customer base of more than 30 restaurants and stores in Halifax, NS, the Four Seasons Farm brand has built a solid reputation for high quality, nutrient-dense produce delivered to the culinary community, as well as individuals and families through a local farmers' market, and its 100-member CSA or vegetable box offering.

“Our hope is for the new owners of this property to farm organically. We have continuously made thoughtful improvements to the infrastructure here with a view to long-term organic farming, meaningful contribution to the local economy and food system, and sustainability of lifestyle for the farmers. One of only a handful of certified organic farms in Nova Scotia, Four Seasons has been responding to the growing demand for organic, fresh food in this province for 30 years. This has been and continues to be our aspiration, and the business potential in the organic sector remains strong. We would consider working alongside new owners for a time to smooth the transition of ownership. That said, we would be willing to disassemble greenhouses and remove equipment if new owners do not wish to farm. This property has the potential to meet many needs and fulfill a variety of aspirations and dreams.”
