This handsome Century home is on 50 acres in 'The Glen" located at the base of Cape Mabou, midway between Inverness and Mabou. The setting offers sweeping countryside views to the west.
In the '80s a piece was added to the house - the wing on the right in the photo above - giving a family room, a laundry/utility room, a main floor bathroom, a bigger kitchen and dining area, and a small bedroom/office.
On the second floor of the main part of the house there are two larger bedrooms and a half bath. The foundation is of well laid stone, and poured concrete under the addition. Water to the home is from a source by gravity.
The home was recently lived in - last winter in fact.
The land is a long strip: about 350 feet wide and over a mile long. The property starts at Highay 19 but the driveway is via a right of way over two neighboring properties.
The 50 acres is mostly wooded but with a big field in front of the house. Beautiful views to the northwest of the hills all the way towards Inverness and the ocean.
Location
Halfway between Inverness and Mabou - it is 6 miles to each - this is a good location for access to all things on the western side of Cape Breton Island. And one of the best of those ‘things’ is the Glenora Distillery, situated not half a mile from this property. The Distillery has the most beautiful buildings in the most beautiful setting of gardens and river….. with food and music as well, not to mention whiskey!
