Originally a farmstead, this approximately 75 acres has about 14 acres with 630 feet of river frontage, with two excellent appearing fields, and a further 61 acres extending from the dividing road back slightly over a mile. The about 60 year old house and three barns, one of which is large with a new roof, all of which being in good shape, are all above the road overlooking the river valley. A brook with a beaver pond and fishing holes has trout, which were rising while I photographed the land. A drivable track reaches back to the brook, and a new dug well with an excellent capacity, seven oversized crocks deep, supplies the house and barn, and one neighbor. The well is on the neighboring land but has a deeded access. The comfortably large kitchen has a wood cooking stove and a propane stove. The vendor had plans to open the wall joining kitchen and dining room. Similarly two of the upstairs bedrooms were to be joined into a larger master.

This is attractive and useful farmland. Approximately 30 acres of the 75 total is cleared fields with the balance of the acreage, 45 acres, covered with mixed forest having no recent cutting.

The forest acres, mostly comprised of softwoods, have been well managed. The hiking trails (also suitable for riding) wind throughout and add up to over a mile of coverage.

• 15 minutes from Inverness (groceries, etc.)

Wikipedia Page on the Margaree River

The northeast branch of the river derives from the watershed of the Cape Breton Highlands, while the Southwest Margaree flows northeast from Lake Ainslie. The two branches join at Margaree Forks.

The Inverness County Web Site

A very comprehensive site. Has good links pages and a very nice photo gallery. The latter includes 3 photos of Inverness Beach which is the beach visible in one of the photos for this property.

The Margaree Salmon Museum

Very well written, comprehensive description of the museum.

Margaree Salmon Association

This organization is dedicated to preserving and improving salmon fishing on the Margaree River. They have useful resources on this web site including the ability to purchase their Pool Map (currently being updated) and a 96-photo DVD.

The Margarees

If you appreciate Celtic music or other authentic cultural events, and the chance to take in our stunning coastline and superb crafters, look no further; if you like the notion of unwinding on almost-deserted beaches, enjoying fresh lobster, or fly fishing for salmon or trout on a glorious river, then come visit the Margaree River Valley, on Cape Breton Island's spectacular Cabot Trail.

Margaree Heritage River

The Margaree calls out to fishermen and hikers to explore its secrets - Photos, Maps, Fact Sheet, River Stories and State of the Rivers.
