Description
This large home and out buildings are situated on 9.25 acres along Highway 34 approximately 2 miles south of Gladstone, Manitoba. Highway frontage is 660’ and the property runs 610’ to the east.
Out buildings include an insulated and heated shop of 32’ x 24’ with a storage loft and attached 32’ x 14’ lean to cold storage area. The second out building is 60’ x 120’ (7,200 sq. ft.). The original owner built this building as a storage rental business for winter storage of campers, boats, vehicles, etc. It was filled to capacity every winter. Although we did not continue the rental business, that could be revived at any time for home based rental income.
The location has a number of unique benefits. Gladstone Golf and Country Club with licensed restaurant is just across the highway to the west within easy walking distance (7 – 8 minute walk from our front door to the restaurant / club house). The Co-op Gas Bar and Convenience store is located 3.2 km to the north with the Town of Gladstone just north of that. Located 2 km south is the Gladstone Airport with paved and grass runways.
At the east of the property are approximately 2 – 3 acres which could be cleared of scrub brushes and old grass for growing of vegetable crops or market gardening. We have never used that part of the property, but the opportunity is there to earn income from the land.
The house was built in 1979 and has been our home since 1995. The North and South wings are both approximately 54’ x 27’ and the connecting center section is approximately 44’ x 30’. The total square feet is 4,335 including the garage. After deducting for the garage, living area is 3,790 square feet all on one level with no basement – perfect for anyone who has difficulty climbing stairs.
The living room was rebuilt in 2003 and professionally finished so as to create the ambience of a log cabin interior. At one end is a raised area with a bench that serves as a reading nook. The furnace, water pump, water softener, etc. are located under this section. At the opposite end is an auxiliary wood heating unit. The wood heating system was WETT inspected and approved as required by the insurance provider when it was installed.
The dining room/kitchen was completely rebuilt in 2016 including all new stainless-steel appliances, kitchen cabinets, island, peninsula and china cabinet with quartz counter tops as well as new lighting and plumbing. Also, in 2016 a new high efficiency electric furnace and air conditioning system was installed.
In May of 2018 new shingles were installed and the house exterior was repainted. The shop building was upgraded with new metal roofing, new siding, and new windows.
There is an opportunity for a new owner to convert all or part of the home to a short term rental unit such as Air BNB, VRBO, etc. Not many years ago, there were 2 motels, a Hotel, and an active Bed & Breakfast operation in Gladstone. None of these accommodation facilities remain. There are no rental accommodations available now.
We have reduced the asking price to $539,900.00. The property is currently listed for sale with local Realtor Lisa Adams. Contact her at 204-841-0741.
