| Overview: |
This lovely location, with its very comfortable old but carefully refurbished 5 bedroom main building is a delightful mix of period charm with modern comfort. A turn-key operation. Four private and newly-built, very well constructed house-keeping cottages, suitable for all seasons, makes this B&B a valuable and appealing property. Views over the Cabot Trail to the ocean, Smokey just up the road, skiers in the winter, golfers in the summer, and travelers all year round are welcomed with home baked bread and old world courtesy.

| Comments: |
The building that is set up as a work shop (mainly carpentry) could be converted back to a living area. The second floor used to be an apartment, the building is insulated and there is electricity. New owners could choose to make it their home or it could be rentable space, seasonal or longer-term.
Beach access is directly across the Cabot Trail from the property - a five minute walk from the driveway to the beach or a very short drive. There is also a sizeable beach with a nearby parking area a few minutes away. Photos of the two beaches are available in the AREA SLIDE SHOW.
The four cottages are extremely well built. They are housekeeping units and are insulated for year-round use. Each cottage is "open plan" with kitchenette and front veranda overlooking the highlands. They are located behind the B&B, well back from the road and secluded in a forested area. One of the cottages is wheelchair accessible.
NOTE: An adjoining 20 acres may be available with this property. |
