Peaceful and convenient location, with natural beauty

Perched high above the roadway, this century-old home commands breathtaking views of the expansive sea and rolling hills. Its timeless charm and stately presence are matched by a solid foundation and enduring "good bones." Thoughtful updates — including modern windows, an updated electrical panel, and a versatile forced-air furnace heated by your choice of wood or oil — lay the groundwork for the next chapter in its storied history. With five spacious bedrooms, a welcoming living room, and an ample kitchen designed for family gatherings, the home offers a blend of comfort and opportunity. The front porch, a serene haven, provides the perfect vantage point to take in spectacular sunsets. The property, composed of three adjoining parcels, boasts over 400 feet of ocean frontage across the road, beautifully landscaped grounds, a gated privacy fence, and more than four acres of mostly cleared land. Adding to its appeal is a 660-s.f. barn with a chicken coop and loft, a boathouse, and a tennis court that offers stunning vistas and is ideal for pickleball, with a paved surface in great condition. Situated just 30 minutes from the quaint university town of Antigonish and 15 minutes from Cape Breton Island's southern hub, Port Hawkesbury, this peaceful yet convenient location combines natural beauty with practicality. Whether you envision a waterfront estate for retirement or a homestead for your growing family, this property is a rare find brimming with potential.
