This property is a well-maintained 1980s bungalow on 2.3 acres with wonderful commanding views over the Margaree River Valley. Here’s one from the front steps - hard to get tired of this:
Home
During their ownership these sellers have renovated most aspects of the home. There are now two bedrooms after one was absorbed into expanding the bathroom, which now features a soaker air jet tub and a tiled shower, along with laundry.
Sleek kitchen cabinetry with 'water fall' butcher block counters and stainless and black appliances give the kitchen a chic, urban feel. A mix of hardwood and 'plank' floors throughout the main are easy to maintain, especially with the central vac.
An airtight woodstove adds both charm and cost-efficient year round heating. Recently added heat pumps, on both the main and the basement level, provide heating, cooling and dehumidifying.
A self contained office, accessed only from outside, provides a secure, private space where you can leave it all behind at days end.
Over 1000 sq ft. of living space on the main floor. The full basement is mostly finished, with a kids room, a room with pool table and other spaces currently used for storage. Lots of room for expansion.
Cell service is good, with super-fast FibreOp internet service. Septic system and a well for the house only.
Barn
The 28 x 30 horse barn, constructed in 2019, is a whole other story! Built on a concrete foundation, with concrete floor and metal roof, it is wired, has its own well, a heated tack room, hay loft, 3 box stalls, a wash stall and a work shop area. Ground level access to the loft at the rear.
Turn-out space on the upper field - the horses can come and go freely. There is a henhouse, also a child’s tree house!
Location
Location location! This property is 3 minutes to the grocery store, library, and local club at Margaree Forks, 5 minutes to the lovely sand beach and wharf at Margaree Harbour.
Inverness (hospital,shops etc and Cabot golf courses) is a 20 minute drive south. Cheticamp and the entrance to the National Park 25 minutes to the north.
And of course fishing for salmon or trout on the legendary Margaree River is just across the road!
