Beautiful properties located on the west coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
This has been called an ‘old-fashioned acreage’ meaning it is not a long strip (usually created by subdivisions) but close to a square, 2700 ft by 3000 ft. The Smithville Road provides one of the long sides of the property, and the old railway line running from Inverness to the Canso Causeway - now the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail - is the other long boundary.
Talk about ‘on the river’ - this substantial three floor home is in a perfect position to view the river from windows, decks, and the screen porch. The home has a living room with a dramatic cathedral ceiling, 6 bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a beautiful waterfront site with mature deciduous trees. The full basement, siding and much else is very recent, starting in 2019.
A large lot in the centre of Inverness is 6,000 square feet.
There are various options for building on the lot: single family, semi detached, triplex etc. Situated on naturally sloping terrain, this lot offers the ability to house a rear-basement walkout design. Municipal sevices. Ocean and golf course views from a home with an upstairs.
This home built in 2016 with massive logs (five of them make up a wall!) faces the Margaree River estuary and the ocean from 8 acres of waterfront land in Belle Cote. More than half of the main floor - the open kitchen/dining/living space - has an impressive cathedral ceiling. Also on the main floor is a bedroom, bathroom and a storage cum workshop space.Five parcels make up this single huge tract of land, 516 acres, in Upper Glencoe. Accessed by a gravel road it feels remote, but is just an 8 mile drive to the Trans Canada Highway. The old house located at #390 MacKinnon Road burned some years back, but there is power to the site. There is also an existing spring fed well and a septic tank.
Right on Inverness’s “busy corner” is this part commercial/part residential building well known to all denizens of the town. The 6,250 sq ft lot borders on the post office building in the rear, across the street is the Firehall, and next door is the bank building - you can’t get a more central location than this!
The building has two main floor commercial spaces, with 10 foot ceilings, very large picture windows on the street, and a toilet in each side. Upstairs is an apartment with 3 bedrooms - two of them very small, as is the bathroom.
The entrance to this huge parcel of land is across the highway from the road into Chimney Corner beach. The property has a road through it and some small areas of cleared land, meadows - remnants of the homestead that was once here. Otherwise it is a tract of forested land, largely hardwood, with some spruce here and there.
This home shows all the most desirable qualities of a house in town: a large landscaped lot, quiet street, fully renovated, low maintenance, and complete with all furniture and equipment. Three bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, powder room on the main level. Two entrances on the street side and one at the back to the rear south-facing deck.
This 2.5 storey 2,400 sq ft home is set in a clearing surrounded by 69 acres of mature forest, in turn bordering the nearly 2,000 acres of Sugarloaf Mountain Wllderness Area. Exploring, cross country skiing, hiking, fishing, gardening… many activities for every season.
The house dates from 1937, and was completely renovated in the early 2000’s by the current owners. Private and remote enough for most people, but only 7 miles to the Cabot Trail and the Dancing Goat cafe.
This almost 5-acre property on the Broad Cove Marsh road outside Inverness is perched on a high cliff with spectacular views up and down the coast. Currently the only oceanfront property for sale on this scenic side road - sometimes called the mini Cabot Trail. The land has 1220 feet of ocean frontage.
This home on approx 18 acres is a 5 minute drive from Inverness via the (paved) Foot Cape Road and Highway 19. A spacious home, there are 3 bedrooms on the upper level and one - two if desired - on the lower. Recent renovations did not restore the kitchen downstairs on the lower level but that could be done. Both floors have a full bath.
