A little about our property!
We own a beautiful 127 year old Queen Ann Victorian home in River John, NS in Pictou county. There are 5 bedrooms, 2 Baths a barn and it all sits on 1 acre of land .
The property is owned by our NS Numbered Corporation and has had a property insurance policy under the numbered corp since 2021 to use as a commercial operation like an Airbnb or Similar. We never operated it as an Airbnb or other sort of venue or lease arrangement but we do know that the prior owner who was the grandson of the original town doctor who built it in 1899 did do Airbnb for several years until Covid.
We have been advised that If one buys our corporation, no change in ownership will need to take place and the solid property Insurance policy will remain in place and not cause any rises in costs or property taxes. Also it is worth mentioning that numbered corporation can be changed to an actual personal name, trust or remain numbered if owners change so it is extremely valuable for a new owner or investor. As well our liability and property insurance is in the corporations name so applying for insurance as well as overcoming potential hurdles regarding insurance of a historical property are eliminated.
We were going to convert the gorgeous barn into a wedding venue and event center. We have had to change our goals due to health issues.
Since it’s already owned by a corporation we are free to either sell it as a real estate property or we can simply sell the corporation which saves the new buyer a lot of cost, procedures, obstacles to obtain property insurance and other hurdles.
I’ll post a pic of our fabulous historical property with only a few photos to give you an idea of the possibilities. These photos are from 2021 when we purchased it.
Please if you would like more details, photos and particulars please feel free to private message me. The posted price is still in the process of being increased if brokers or other costs become necessary so if you want to lock in the best price, now would be the best time vs waiting until we do done upgrades, painting etc and list with an agent when we officially put it on the market which will require additional construction costs, realtor commissions and more fees.
I look forward to hearing from those who have a serious interest in a corporation and business or simply want to own this property for personal use.
