yarmouth backpackers
for sale!
After 7 years in Canada we have decided to venture back to Australia
& would love to leave our backpackers in good hands and sell our
property to like minded individuals.  

All the hard work is already done - we are licensed with
Nova Scotia
Tourism
and have passed our property inspections (scheduled
every two years), we have waded through the bureaucratic "red tape"
associated with local councils in order to open the doors, we are
listed in the usual "backpacker" guide books (eg Lonely Planet,
Hostel Handbook etc) and registered with online booking engines &
popular sites such as
TripAdvisor.  We also currently belong to
Backpackers Hostels Canada (a national body of independant
hostel owners) and have a good working relationship with other
Nova Scotia hostel owners.

The property has been progressively renovated over the past 5 years
whilst retaining as much of the original character & architecture as
possible.  

Some general info.....
There is currently a mix of rooms as you will see from the website -
these could be retained or mixed around as desired.  A large
proportion of our guests tend to be either couples and/or older
professional people who like the privacy of the double and twin
rooms.  

As well as the "backpacker" section of the house (as detailed on the
website), there are private living quarters for the owners or
manager.  This can be either 1 or 2 bedrooms depending on your
needs.  Photos of the downstairs area can be supplied on request
to prospective buyers (serious enquiries only).

Property details.....
  • Property lot size approximately 13000 sq feet
  • Timber house is approximately 2200 sq feet - on two levels
    plus attic and unfinished basement on stone/brick
    foundations
  • Small storage shed
  • Oil forced air furnace & some electric baseboard heating
    upstairs
  • All original hardwood flooring upstairs
  • Timber house built approximately 1880s in Italianate design
  • Corner block for maximum street exposure
  • Large garden area with plenty of room for future expansion to
    the backpackers eg a separate bunkhouse for the dormitory
    and change the upstairs to a B&B.  The yard is large enough
    that even with any additional buildings there would still be
    room for a private garden area.
  • Specification sheets can be provided to serious,  prospective
    buyers

Recent major renovations:
  • 2004 New roof
  • 2004 Blown in insulation in attic and outside walls
  • 2003 New upstairs deck and separate 2nd floor exit
  • 2002 Two new bathrooms 2nd floor
  • Wiring - upgraded to 100 amp

The property can be retained as a backpackers, upgraded
slightly to be a B&B or guest house, changed to two
apartments or make a wonderful large family home - the
possibilities are endless.

yourselves!
