| Overview: |
So many properties are described as "dramatic" or "breath-taking" - but this one genuinely is. Located at the end of Mabou Harbour Road, high on the hillside, and with more than 180 degree views, one feels as though one commands the entire panorama of river estuary, beautiful beach and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The expansive decks provide summer breezes while watching whales or fishing boats and the spectacular sunsets. Cathedral ceilings with floor to ceiling glass provide views from the interior amidst the spacious open plan ground floor. The master bedroom has its own deck and is comfortably large and conveniently also on the ground floor with en suite bathroom. The interestingly configured second bedroom in the loft area is also large while outside the bedroom door, the remaining area provides space for an office desk or seating to enjoy the views through the front windows. There are no road sounds and no traffic to mar the peace, yet Mabou's pleasant village surroundings are only 10 minutes away.

| Comments: |
-
The property is located at the end of a road so there is no through traffic and therefore no noise.
-
The view from the property encompasses the wide open vista of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Mabou harbour and river estuary, a large white sand beach across the harbour and the hilly landscapes of the coast dotted by local family farms.
-
Wild blueberries and strawberries can be harvested in season on the back land.
-
Wildlife is plentiful. Gold finches visit the feeders on the deck throughout the day as do the rufus hummingbirds. Eagles soaring in the ocean breezes are a common sight.
-
Due to its location being on a dead end road, the property offers safe walking opportunities as well as hiking on the promontory while enjoying the magnificent views.
-
Commercial fishing boats frequent the gulf view. The fleet typically brings in lobster, crab, herring, haddock, giant tuna and more.
-
The village of Mabou has a well stocked grocery store and several restaurants/bars. One is the Red Shoe Pub, famous for offering Celtic music entertainment, including fiddle music for dancing. Cape Breton's first families of Celtic music and tradition have all played at the Red Shoe,. In fact, the pub is owned by members of the Rankin family.
-
The fishermen's wharf is located nearby so the boats pass in front of the house to head home through the harbour and the river estuary to the dock. It's the clue to head over to the wharf where you can purchase the catch of the day -
-
Major shopping and amenities are approximately 40 minutes away in the town of Port Hawkesbury.
