| Overview: |
Located on the less populated southeastern corner of Cape Breton Island, this 'wilderness' property combines the best possible advantages of 'remote' with existing power, telephone and a driveway approximately 200 yards from the paved road. Invisible from the roadway is a very comfortable open-plan main house with four attractive and roomy bedrooms, two baths (plumbing for another only requires the fixtures). Spanning three levels, the main dwelling looks out over a large freshwater lake that empties into the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
This year-round most unusual 200 acre property has a peninsula of 50 acres with two kilometers of waterfront, two small islands, and two additional comfortable house-keeping cabins overlooking the lake. Deer and a broad selection of wildlife abound, while there is also excellent fishing for trout and salmon in season, ice fishing in the winter, and activities that include boating, kilometers of Atlantic beach walking as well as cross country skiing.
|
| Comments: |
The unique configuration of the peninsula makes this area totally private. The streams that cross the 150 acres of rising land behind the peninsula offer fly fishing and views out to the Atlantic from the ridge tops.
The property has been run as a European get-away for holidayers seeking quiet, privacy and the broad range of activities that are possible here. Whether as a private family 'camp', a continuing business for touring travelers, or as a corporate retreat, this listing is a unique and rare year-round property due both to its size and privacy. |
