Overview:

A small house located below the Cabot Trail, with a hay field below that could provide opportunities for extensive gardening. A refurbished kitchen, and a new bathroom may remove any concerns about those principal areas. While the upper storey provides a six foot ceiling and a 14' 5" x 23' area for a large second bedroom. Some work required around the front steps, and some painting. An outbuilding provides storage. House has the potential for completing as a comfortable small home, with a valley view and distant Gulf views.

Comments:

This little cottage is perfect for someone seeking a seasonal destination in Cape Breton on a modest budget. It is also feasible to rent it for income when not in residence. It is located on the Cabot Trail between Inverness and Cheticamp, a good place considering both the tourist trade on the Island and proximity to amenities and supplies.
