Cape Breton Estates: Land of the Golden Arms

Located in the charming and friendly fishing village of Cheticamp, this 79 year old substantial house was built by Dr. Poirier, who doubled the studding for a very secure and attractive building. Facing the bay and Cheticamp Island, and close to the school and cathedral, there is an open, comfortable feel to the location and the home. Modern windows, a cook's room and functional kitchen, the ground floor is spacious and welcoming. There is a basement apartment with its own entrance, presently rented, a garage and views from most of the windows. The four bedrooms reflect the generous use of space, with the master facing the water and Cheticamp Island across the road. The original hardwood floors on both floors reflect the care that has been lavished on the building and evidences the original owner's taste

Part of almost 33 acres, this 13 and 1/4 acres fronts on the protected waters of Lennox Passage, with a waterfront of 745 feet, and a pebbly beach with gently sloping depths of water. The private bridge across an estuary guarantees quiet enjoyment of the land. An old apple orchard that probably dates to post WWI, firs and brush are adjacent to a forest that once was grazing land. A very old rock lined hole is all that's left of a dwelling, but the large well, is nearby and always full of water. Offering possibilities for a subdivision or an investment grade future development, this carefully laid out area rises easily from the waterfront and has various commanding locations for houses that with clearing would provide lovely views of Lennox Passage and the land beyond. Anchorages abound and provide protected ground from the open Bay beyond. Swimming in the warmer waters in summer, boating, and protection from road noise or any unexpected visitors should be perpetual..

This property is for a very special person. One for whom beauty, comfort and privacy is paramount. And for whom being remote, yet accessible by normal vehicle, accepting distance as an advantage and a privacy enhancing value, is desirable. The dwelling, on a ridge top about 370 feet above the ocean below, fits that description perfectly. Unique is one adjective, aerial is another, beautiful and even majestic can also be included, although the reality strikes subjectively. The accompanying photos are a poor two dimensional effort to illustrate a reality that is simply extraordinary .

An unusual opportunity for a dual purpose ocean and bay-side property with a wide ocean frontage 2.6 acres on one side of the road, with its own rocky beach, and a protected 3.2 acres on the bay-side, suitable for an anchorage and/or wharf, similar to the neighbour's. The 3.2 acres is mainly wooded, allowing the future owner the opportunity of clearing or partial clearing, or not clearing at all. A past septic perks test was successfully run, but will be required to be redone due to stale dates. Not far from Arachat for shopping, or Port Hawkesbury (about 25 minutes away), the nearest hospital is within those time frames, short of Port Hawkesbury. Private, quiet and attractive, with a boater's ideal positioning, this property is priced to sell. The stripped area next door is a very dated aerial, now grown in. Trails have recently been cut

NEW PRICE

This large field stone house restored down to the last detail in the very best 18th century French country tradition has a totally private setting, open only to a view of the Atlantic Ocean and the distant profile of Bird Island. A long private lane off Black Rock Road leads to the stone pillars on either side of a paved driveway which extends into the property 100 meters before reaching the interlocking pavers that form a parking area between the house and the 3 car, 2 floor garage with finished loft. The house itself is imposing with spacious, comfortable rooms and scores of period features too numerous to mention from authentic design touches to the unusual double framing of its exterior. The shoreline is appropriately dramatic with a 30 foot cliff affording an elevated and expansive ocean vista. Though not far from major shopping, this property is worlds apart from anything urban or ordinary

NEW LISTING

A compact and typical Cheticamp building located on the town's waterfront that has been lovingly cared for and presents well. For years a small hairdressing salon, the ground floor is still arranged attractively as a salon, while the second floor has a very comfortable and pleasant bachelor apartment. The commercial aspect of the building strongly suggest a continuation of the salon, but there are a number of possibilities for alternative use. The ground floor could be converted to being a small art gallery or studio, maintaining the present upstairs as living area, or even a woodworking shop, with owner's quarters above. The building is in good shape, the full bathroom being on the ground floor, with modern fixtures, but with some changes upstairs a second bathroom could be placed above the first. Overlooking the water from the rear, Cheticamp Island is just across the bay, with fishing boats regularly passing to or from the banks. An expansion to the rear is possible.
