| Overview: |
On the edge of the Highlands National Park, overlooking the wide river estuary boundary, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the soaring heights above, a delightful Linwood western cedar home overlooks it all. A large galleried front room combines both gourmet kitchen with open living space and fireplace, providing views never to become commonplace. The surrounding landscaped area and fir forest complete the image of tranquil seclusion. Fly fishing the rivers, kayaking, swimming on the nearby beach, and near the charming Acadian town of Cheticamp, this property is blue-ribbon.

| Comments: |
Privacy and gorgeous views are the watch-words for this unusual property. With about 800 feet on the border river of the Highlands National Park, and views to the ocean across a sandy beach, visitors include moose, deer, and across the river on the Highlands’ slopes, the occasional bear. No other houses are visible from the Linwood cedar home, and no traffic sounds interrupt the pace and serenity of this lovely parcel.
The configuration of the property is such that back from the infrequently traveled road, amongst copses of firs, a very different view over the Gulf of St. Lawrence is possible. Whether for a guest house or even a quite removed building lot as a spin-off sale, the distance from the main house through the evergreens would screen off any such addition.
Another feature of the location is the relatively near-by town of Cheticamp, an Acadian society of French speaking people with a delightful cross-section of restaurants, waterfront activities, and one of the Fabulous Four Cape Breton golf courses. The Co-Op grocery store reflects the tastes and flair of the community, while the people themselves remind one of the hardy folk in the fishing villages of Brittany.
With the Highlands National Park just across the river, hiking trails, climbs (some of the photos that appear taken from a plane, are shot from the heights above the river) winter snow-mobiling, summer kayaking, wind-surfing, exploring or just quietly fishing are just at the front door.
