Comment: |
The acreage is covered by a mature forest of mostly softwood. It is bordered on the South by a rural paved secondary highway, on the North by a salt water bay with protected harbour and ocean access, and on the East by the low volume Trans Canada Trail. The latter is suitable for hiking, horseback, riding or bicycling.
This property has spectacular views of the local countryside and ocean, with beautiful ocean sunsets and close access to the warmest salt waters on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Mooring is available in a protected marina with 2.7 meters of draft at low tide within 15 meters of corner of property - suitable for pleasure craft.
The estuary at the shoreline of the land is a mixture of fresh and salt water, but predominantly fresh which produces clear water, evident in many of the photos in the property photo slide shows. The estuary extends landward beyond the property where Captain's River ends its journey to the sea. It is quite a large area of water which can be easily appreciated by viewing the wide-area N. S. Provincials Map for this property.

| Area Info: |
Port Hood is approximately a 10 minute drive from this location and Port Hawkesbury is about 20 minutes. The latter has all shopping facilities; the former has groceries, restaurants and other amenities but on a reduced scale.
A boat tour from Little Judique Harbour takes visitors to Port Hood Island and offers an excellent opportunity to see whales and bald eagles. At Harbourview, the Chestico Museum highlights the history of the settlement and growth of the Port Hood region. Port Hood, a full-service fishing community, is the county seat of Inverness, the second-largest community on the Ceilidh Trail, and the step-dancing capital of Cape Breton. The village's scenic beauty is enhanced by magnificent views of Port Hood Island just offshore. The island's green meadows, brightly painted houses and high bluffs make it a favourite subject for photographers. There is also privately owned Henry Island in the immediate vicinity visible from the town's shore.
The area around Port Hood is known for delightfully warm waters and fine sandy beaches at Port Hood Provincial Park, Court House Beach, and a number of others on the Colindale Road. Port Hood marks the beginning of the Mabou Highlands, ancient rolling coastal hills that extend inland to Lake Ainslie and north to Inverness, reaching almost 300 m (1000 ft.) in height in places.
The western shore of Cape Breton is exposed to the north and west winds of the Gulf, yet its waters are the warmest. The locations, such as this property, that provide protection from the wind are rare on this coastline and afford the opportunity to enjoy sheltered, warm waters and magnificent sunsets.
