1648 THIRD AVENUE — St. Catharines (Rural Fourth), Ontario

A rare opportunity for greenhouse growers, horticultural operators, and agricultural entrepreneurs. Set on approximately 4.75 acres, this unique property combines an updated 5-bedroom residence with approximately 180,000 sq. ft. of total greenhouse space. Approximately 100,000 sq. ft. is under glass, with approximately 80,000 sq. ft. under hoop-style structures, including newer sections toward the rear. The greenhouse operation features a mix of extensive concrete and soil growing areas, circulation fans, shade systems, pumps, and heating infrastructure, complemented by 8 large industrial AC units all controlled by Argus controllers. Major utility systems include substantial 3-phase, 600-volt electrical service, a backup generator that's directly connected to Enbridge natural gas to maintain operations during power interruptions, and three interconnected concrete cisterns offering approximately 180,000 gallons of rainwater storage with multiple distribution pumps. The updated residence was originally built in 1962, with a second-storey addition added around 2005. Inside, the home offers vinyl plank flooring, 12"x24" tile, and a bright white kitchen with quartz counters, a built-in cooktop, a dishwasher, and stainless steel appliances. The main floor features two bedrooms, a 4-piece bath, and a laundry room converted from a former third bedroom. The upper level includes three additional bedrooms, a 3-piece bath, walk-in storage, and flexible space, complemented by an unfinished basement. Located in the heart of Niagara, the property offers quick access to the QEW, major transport corridors, the U.S. border, and surrounding urban amenities. (id:63357)
