Overview:

This property has a lot to offer the right buyer. It is originally a Government Approved Oyster processing plant, but could be a warehouse with retail space. On the Trans Canada Hwy centrally located in Cape Breton between Baddeck and Whycocomagh, it has close to nine acres around it with plenty of parking. It has deeded access to the Bras d'Or Lakes, and year round access. Exceptionally well designed and well built (just 10 years old) with over 3200 square feet all on one floor, and an office, there is a loading bay in the back. Easily accessible to both tourists and locals, there are no other business establishments nearby and very few residential structures visible from the highway along this stretch of the Trans Canada. Well maintained since operations ceased a few years ago, it is ready for immediate use. A drilled artesian well (270') produces excellent water with 14 GPM.

Notable:
  • Bras d'Or access is deeded wtih this property
  • Vendor has a survey, available at showing
  • The property is land registered for immediate possession.
  • This commercial structure was purpose-built for Bras d'Or Oyster Farms, Ltd. with both processing and retail space. Because it was a food-related business, the construction standards had to pass government inspection for that industry. The building passed inspection and is therefore of a quality considerable higher than the norm.
  • The land on the Baddeck side of the lot is next to 80 acres of Crown Land which extends down to the lake shore in one direction and across the road up the ridge in the opposite direction. There is an old road that goes up the ridge and eventually ends up at Lake Ainslie. The portion of this land that is on the water side of the road has a very lovely stream at the bottom of a gorge that empties into the Bras d'Or. Locals, in the past but not so much any more, used the spot for fishing and for hunting (ducks and geese, mainly).
  • More land is available adjacent to this property.
  • There are 2 lots owned by the vendor across the highway that are being offered for sale separately - DETAIL PAGE FOR 2 LOTS
