This property includes a 3 bedroom bungalow on 1.2 acres with an extra building currently being used for processing honey.
The bungalow has a large eat in kitchen with a patio door walkout and a good sized living room. The kitchen cabinets are birch and the kitchen eating area as well as the living room have birch hardwood flooring. There are 3 good sized bedrooms with the master having an entrance into the bathroom. There is a full unfinished basement with walk out and a rough in for another bathroom. The house is heated with forced air electric furnace and has central air conditioning as well.
The extra building has a full basement with it's own electric forced air furnace and it's own central air conditioning and a partially finished apartment in the loft area with it's own separate entrance. The total square footage of this building counting the loft and basement would be approximately 2400.
This also has the Buckhorn Honey business as well at an additional cost of $57,000.00 which can either be purchased separately or in conjunction with the property.
The extra building provides a lot of different options for anyone purchasing this property since it is fully self contained and it's potential is probably just limited to a person's imagination. The property is listed as rural residential but has additional spot zoning for some agricultural uses.
As is it would be a great opportunity for someone to buy themselves a home and job as the seller will provide training as well as a list of stores where he distributes the product to be sold.
Natural Development Process of Buckhorn Honey
The nectar source of Buckhorn Honey comes from the flora of alfalfa, mixed clovers, canola and small percentages of lesser nectars.
Once obtained from commercial beekeepers the product is transported in eight 45 gallon drums to our premises. Unloading requires 2 people and takes 1 hr. The honey is then heated to 100 degrees F. taking 8 hours.
Pasteurizing tanks on the bottom level receive the pumped honey from the barrel room. Pasteurizing takes approximately 12 hours to reach 160F. depending on floral source temperature and water temperature.
After the pasteurization temperature is attained the honey is bottled manually at 120 degrees F until the tank is emptied and then stored in a hot room for 48 hours at 120 degrees F. After labelling, the product is then ready for shipment to the stores.
The transport company is contacted on Tuesdays by 2PM and the shipment is then picked up between 11:00am and 4:00pm the next day. The shipment is on the store shelves the following day. The time span from processing to store shelf is usually a week.
The stores have to be canvassed in person, by phone, fax or electronic mail for orders on a weekly basis. Shipments to individual stores range from five cases to thirty cases. Store numbers fluctuate from year to year ranging from fifty as a low to over two hundred as a high.
The cost of raw honey depends on supply and demand as set by trade magazines, beekeeper input and the Provincial Apiarist's office.
