Cape Breton Estates: Land of the Golden Arms

Located in one of the most attractive areas of Aberdeen, on the Bras d'Or, the property is situated between Baddeck and Whycocomagh, and about 35 minutes from Port Hawkesbury. The land rises from the highway, and has a strip with trees and a miniature beach on the water side of the road. The very old house needs attention but is presently occupied by a lessee, who looks after the grounds. Were one to build slightly higher, the unobstructed view over the lake would be lovely, while the mature firs along the road would cut traffic noise. Convenient, private, and a beautiful setting

This is a secluded property with a brook, excellent arable land, a barn in reasonable shape and a view of Roseburn Valley from the height of land on the edge of Skye Mountain. A long list of vegetables have been grown for a number of years, while the old house is (100 yrs. +) still there but not in good condition. Power is to the property; water is available from a stream - a well is also there. Mature hardwood and soltwood exits on about 95 acres. Private and quiet, with no intrusions from neighbors, this old homestead has wild blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and apples. Settled over a century ago

Seventy one years ago, most of the farm lands of Murdock MacGregor became part of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Today, the remaining gemstone property of the family, held for over 130 years since granted by Queen Victoria, 300 magnificent acres at Pollett’s Cove, is offered for sale. 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, a suitable steward of this land is sought.

In the quiet, pastoral community of Portree, near the NE Margaree River, amongst flower and vegetable gardens, this comfortably redesigned and finished house is perfect for a smaller family. Two bedrooms, and even an extra large sewing or project room, complement the central kitchen and living area. A two floor garden shed/small barn provides storage. New PolyTech windows, new doors, a carefully insulated curtain wall around the base, new joists, and decorating gives the house both charm and comfort.

Located in Aberdeen near Baddeck, this well-maintained property features a large hilltop chalet with a super size garage/storage building, lovely grounds and an elevated panoramic view of the Bras d'Or Lake. Deeded lake access, a full, large cellar, spacious rooms, modern kitchen... the positive features are numerous and impressive and the offer price represents very good value.

A quiet and attractive setting for this unusually large and comfortable home near the race track in Inverness includes a lovely view. The house features 4 large bedrooms upstairs, a large full bathroom, and what might be an additional 3 three bedrooms on the ground floor, and a full bathroom. Aluminum siding lends a substantial element to this well built home, which faces eastwards up the valley. Two additional lots of approx. .5 of an ace on the slope below the house provide plenty of room for a possible new building on the property. The entrance mud room and some windows need attention, but the full cellar is dry with lots of room.

This is a charming smaller house which is both well built and comfortable. Three bedrooms and a large kitchen off of the living room provide space, while also encouraging privacy down the hall to the bedrooms. The front deck lends a sense of space as well as an attractive addition to the house, for barbeques, or just sitting. The land rises behind on an old but serviceable road (needs a little work) leading up to the next level from which a view of the North River estuary is visible. The full basement has the beginnings of a dividing wall, is gyprocked and can provide an insulated additional room, together with storage.

Owlhurst is nestled on its own eleven acre private, wooded mountain ridge, in complete seclusion and inviolable privacy. Its unique homesite was literally blasted from theGreen Mountain ridge to create a vantage for some of the finest views in the state. Readily accessible Cedar Lake is at its feet and, beyond, sweeping panoramic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. A vacation retreat of distinction for the urban executive in search of peace

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

The Margaree Lodge Resort rests on a hill with a beautiful view overlooking one of the most famous salmon rivers in North America - the Margaree River. This summer business (May 15th to October 30) has attracted fly fishermen from all over the world for the last century. During the last 8 years, the previous owners completely renovated the resort which now has 34 rooms, including several suites, 42 acres of surrounding land, stables and horses, an outdoor pool, a six-hole golf course and a comfortable, private owners' residence. Located in the small village of Margaree Forks, the Lodge is ideally situated at the junction of the high-volume Cabot Trail and the Ceilidh Trail (Route 19)
