Description

Nestled just off the Cabot Trail, this charming cottage has been a cherished spot for a peaceful retreat from everyday life. This 1.1-acre property features a year-round stream, providing a soothing background as you drift off to sleep either mid-afternoon or night. It's now ready for a new family to create their own cherished memories. The property is available fully furnished and turn-key for the new owners – ready to enjoy this season! Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming insulated sunroom featuring eight large vinyl windows that let in abundant light and gentle summer breeze. The cozy living room boasts pine floors and walls with soaring ceilings. Adjacent to the main living area are the kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. Additionally, two exterior storage sheds provide space for toys and equipment. Emphasizing sustainability and reducing environmental impact, the property has a dug well providing ample water supply and a composting toilet, ensuring low maintenance, sustainability, and cost efficiency. A perc test confirmed excellent drainage, allowing the potential installation of a septic system. In 2020, a Humidex digital ventilation system was installed to maintain ideal humidity levels, improve heating efficiency and enhanced comfort. Built in the mid-80s, the original fully insulated cottage sits on a concrete slab. The sunroom was added in 2010, and the roof was re-shingle. Heated by electric baseboards, the cottage has been used primarily as a three-season property and could easily be adapted for year-round living. An ideal spot for adventure seekers, this property is just a short distance from beaches, rivers, and trails, and within walking distance of both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Situated 25 minutes from Baddeck and 45 minutes from Ingonish, you’re in a scenic area nestled between two hubs offering all amenities and additional day trip opportunities. Call today and experience the upcoming season in your very own retreat.
