Set back from the world-famous Cabot Trail on over 2 acres of surveyed land, this charming property offers privacy, peace and a connection to nature. A tree-lined driveway leads to a cozy, well-loved home that has been cherished by generations since its construction in 1948. The property features a beautiful freshwater brook that borders one side of the land, along with a private front and back yard — ideal for gardens, gatherings, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. Entering through the bright, window-lined sunroom, you’re greeted by a welcoming space perfect for morning coffee, afternoon visits, or quiet evenings taking in the views. A second sunroom — frequently used as an additional sleeping space — lets you fall asleep beneath the stars and wake to sunrise through the trees. The main floor features a spacious kitchen with cozy wood-burning stove and an open dining area, while the adjoining living room offers ample space for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom, and a large storage room that could easily serve as an office, reading nook, or extra sleeping area. While the home has most recently been maintained as a seasonal property, it’s could become your year-round retreat. The roof was re-shingled in 2014, the dug well provides excellent water, and with some updates — including a new primary heating source and likely a future septic upgrade — this property could be transformed into a wonderful permanent residence. The seller is aware of work required and is selling 'as is, where is'. This is an opportunity to own a piece of Cape Breton charm at an attainable price point, with the flexibility to enjoy it immediately and to invest in updates knowing you have a safe and protected investment. Located just minutes from stunning beaches, local trails, shops, and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, this property offers both tranquility and convenience — a perfect starting point for your next chapter!
