I went way out of my usual area to list this property. It was well worth the trip and I am very pleased to be able to offer this exceptional listing for your consideration. - Tom

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 ...Details

MARTINIQUE: Park Place on the Ocean (11 Acres)

click to enlarge photo

[click to enlarge]

The combination of ocean front, view and acreage is compelling, but when one adds in location and the park-like appearance of this six lots in one lovely parcel - the result is very compelling. Overlooking the protected waters off of D'Escousse and Martinique, one can easily visualize either a compact and efficient development, or a convenient and beautiful private estate, the owners having researched each alternative thoroughly. At this juncture there are 4 surveyed lots which have not been recorded, one of which has a fully engineered and approved septic plan. The vendor is listing the whole parcel rather than 4 lots, but the plans and surveys come with purchase. Having waterfront on two sides of the property, with the most desirable building location furthest from the road and on the water, this is a unique property. There is roughly 2,000 feet of waterfront, and the price is sharply lower to obtain a quick sale ...Details

RIVER DENYS: Home Again on the River Denys

click to enlarge

[click to enlarge]

This large rural property is deep in the mid section of Cape Breton, off the beaten track and about as secluded and private a location as you could hope to find anywhere in Inverness County. A long driveway (excellent old road base) winds through the property from Eden Rd. for 600 meters before reaching the first of the 2 refurbished large old farm houses that sit on a hill above the River Denys. Expansive meadows sprinkled with apple trees spread out from the residential compound area to the river framed by the back drop of N. Mountain Ridge. Large stands of fir trees rim the meadowlands with a circular border ending on either side at the river. The 2 houses, about 75 yards apart, are in good condition inside and out but one needs a new roof. Comprised of 238 acres with thousands of feet of river frontage, several streams, 2 homes and various inclusions such as a tractor, this property is priced to sell this season ...Details

A useful nearly 3 acres of cleared land between Old Cabot Trail - a dead end gravel road now - and the paved Cabot Trail approaching Cheticamp at Point Cross. The land has been perk tested and is surveyed. There is a view of the Gulf from the land, and a brook runs nearby to the south. The Highlands behind are a major aspect of the eastern view, while the Gulf to Cheticamp Island is to the west ...Details

REMEMBER RED RIVER: One of the Last Frontiers

click to enlarge photo

[click to enlarge]

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful natural scenery, amazing sand beach, Highlands National Park, ocean, mountains, craggy cliffs, some upscale residences and a bit of a distance from any population center....this is Red River. And if this describes where you want to be seasonally or year-round, this 6.39 acre building lot with road access and services (power & phone) readily available would be a good choice. It is one of those rare places where it is possible to get away from it all but still be on the grid - one of the last frontiers....Details

GLENCOE: Blueberry Mountain Farm Land

click to enlarge

[click to enlarge]

This listing is dramatically changed due to the tragic burning of the house between Christmas and New Year. The 300 acres is unusually almost a square, the road bisecting the property. The house was set near the crest with beautiful views, while the horse barn provides 360 degree views across the valleys and hills. Little traffic mars the peace of this unusual blueberry and horse farm. Set between Mabou and Whycocomagh, the largely cleared but partially forested land is priced to sell. The forest is mainly mature hardwood with a possible value of $100,000 or more in lumber, veneer and firewood. As the forest is cleared, wild blueberries spring up and add to the 80 plus acres of blueberries already in cultivation. This is an unusual opportunity for peace and quiet with large tracts of DNR land next to the farm and the opportunity to produce one's own foodstuffs, run cattle or sheep, and harvest the valuable annual berry crop.

POLLETT'S COVE: 25 Acres Wilderness Land

click to enlarge

[click to enlarge]

Likely the last private property located at Pollett`s Cove to go on the market - perhaps ever - this 25 acres encompasses a meadow rising above cliffs and looks down on the 3000 foot beach and Blair River. The Pollett`s Cove/Aspy Bay Fault area is easily one of the most beautiful pieces of wilderness land in Nova Scotia, and Pollett`s Cove is the crown jewel. Comprising 3000 feet of ocean beach, two rivers, meadows, mountains and forest, the area is a popular hiker`s and kayaking destination, and fronts on the St. Lawrence Gulf in a cove in which whales are regular visitors. A road and power will never be intrusive features here, and most of the privately held land has been acquired to preserve and protect. Described by tour brochures and visitors as one of the most beautiful places on earth, the privilege of ownership in this area may never arise again ...Details

RED HEAD: Peninsula with Private Beach and 2 KM on Ocean

click to enlarge

[click to enlarge]

This untouched acreage on the border of the Highlands National Park was granted to its present owner's family by Queen Victoria almost 125 years ago. At 204+/- acres, it is by far the the largest ocean front parcel remaining in the Ingonish area today. The majestic cliffs on each side of the peninsula are about a kilometer long with Atlantic shoreline of about the same distance. They dominate any views of the land from the sea and across Ingonish Bay. Their reddish hue provides the genesis for the name "Red Head". The coloration is even present in the sands of the secluded beach that is part of this extraordinary offering ...Details
