Cape Breton Estates: Land of the Golden Arms

A truly private location with features requiring on-site inspection to recognize their value. Nearly 13 acres with 1,124 feet of waterfront on a wide river estuary to the sea. Adjacent to a marina and Gulf sand beach, a perfect location for a dock or pier, there is a 35 foot height of land for a house to have views of the sea and Henry Island, as well as the beach a few minutes away, beyond the marina. Little passing traffic and yet just off of Rt. 19 on Shore Road, on the west coast of Inverness County. It must be mentioned that the area directly out on the Gulf between Cape Breton and PEI is now known as one of the best giant Blue Fin Tuna fishing grounds. Wildlife including deer, eagles, Blue Herons, bobcats, otters and the only sound the breeze in the trees. Vessels to 60 feet can use marina

Known as 'The Aerie", this is a seaside home on 5 totally private acres with water frontage at the head of the Bay of Fundy. There are unobstructed panoramic ocean views from almost every window and from the full length deck. The house and garage are Blue Maxx insulated concrete construction, with multi zoned in-floor radiant hot water heat. A modern kitchen, great room with vaulted ceilings and propane fireplace, and master bedroom suite, all with ceramic tile throughout comprise the main floor. On the second level are 4 additional bedrooms, as well as a very sizable office/studio/library room. A top quality greenhouse for the gardening enthusiast, together with two covered verandahs completes the building. This area of the Nova Scotia coast has some of the highest tides in the world sometimes reaching over 50 ft. In these troubling times the property provides peaceful seclusion, yet access to markets, privacy with no visible neighbors, and dramatic ocean front beauty offering perpetual kaleidoscopic images

Located in the picturesque fishing village of Main a Dieu at the most eastward point of Cape Breton on the Atlantic Ocean, this five acre property fronts on the road and has a waterfront at both the front and rear of the property. The inlet could easily harbour an outboard or other smaller boat. The house has been extensively remodeled and has new appliances, floors and windows. The kitchen is a delightful area with room to move round. While the three bedrooms are not large, they are comfortable with baseboard hot water heating. The furnace is located in the rear crawl space. The separate building (yellow house) might be refurbished by a dedicated DIYer and either sold off or used as a rental. This property combines the charm of a small oceanside village with reasonable proximity to Louisbourg and Sydney. Blueberries, raspberries and even some cranberries are on the land in the rear

This property has many appealing features but there is one that is so outstanding that it dwarfs the others - the ocean view. It is unequaled in this realtor's experience. No attempt at a description would do it justice, it simply has to be seen. The charming refurbished 2900 square foot old farm house is perfectly situated to take advantage of it. The other features of the property are fitting seconds to the tremendous view: 2000' of ocean front with stony beach, 160 acres including 40 in meadowland, white pine, back wood lot, fresh water pond, viewing deck / sun room and walk-out basement with the house, streams, no visible neighbors and absolute privacy. Eagles soar overhead, pilot whales feed on king crab and mackerel in the bay, seals bask on the rock outcroppings at the shore in the fall and supplies are just 30 minutes away in Sydney, Cape Breton's largest population center and only sizable airport.

This is an almost island; an extraordinary geological formation that extends boldly into the Bras d'Or Lakes for a distance of 1.8 miles off South Side Boularderie. Island Point is a wild, remote and uninhabited peninsula only 30 minutes from N. Sydney. The land has the typical Karst topography of eroded hills and valleys, but is resplendent with a hardwood forest that covers the entire length of the Point. Its sheer white gypsum cliffs protect a long harbour while the shore is interspersed with beaches and nearly 40 foot depths almost all the way to the sand bar end. The elbow shaped connection to the Boularderie Island shore leads up a steep pitch covered with large firs to the road’s edge at the top of a ridge. 3.6 miles of shoreline, 252 acres, sand beaches, protected anchorages and wilderness character - this property is very special. With a good pair of walking shoes and stamina, you can see it all. A trail runs from the road through much of the property
