Immerse yourself in Canadian cottage life with this private, off-the-grid, 2.7-acre (1.09 hectare) lakefront property on Cape Breton island. Accessible by laneway shared by a few cottages, you will be awed by the picture-perfect Canadiana views. Tucked at the end of a inlet on Grand Lake, you'll enjoy privacy swimming off your dock or lounging on the large, newer patio. Hear the birds sing, the wind rustling in the trees, the whir of the propeller that generates power to the off-grid, original owner cottage. Inside you will find pine lining the walls and ceiling, a cozy bedroom, propane-powered stove, solar-powered fridge and a woodstove for warmth through the fall. This cottage has a low-maintenance compostable toilet and insulation in the walls, attic and floor. There are two sheds on the property. Venture around the lake in a kayak or power boat and fish trout and salmon. With about 900-ft (275 m) of lakefront, it could be possible for this large lot to be subdivided for a few families or friends. Grand Lake is located on Isle Madame, an island with a rich history of French Acadian ancestry. It is only 30 minutes to Port Hawkesbury. It is extremely rare for an opportunity to own on this idyllic lake.
