Shore Road, Chimney Corner

Description

This 25-acre property high above the Shore Road at Chimney Corner offers fantastic panoramic views over the ocean, Margaree Island and Chimney Corner point. Spectacular sunsets are a constant feature, spread out in front of you from this commanding hillside location. There are three existing cottages on the original 130-acre parcel, all with the same vast ocean views, but all invisible from each other, separated by distance, forest and greenery. The size of this lot - 350 feet wide at the building site area - guarantees complete privacy. No-cut zones will ensure that privacy will be maintained indefinitely. The land slopes up from the Shore Road to a large plateau: the best building sites are on the edge of this wide flat area. The viewscape from here has been cut (here meaning the downslope trees in front) and it will be fully cleared and enhanced in October. This plateau area is about 300 feet above sea level. There is quality road access from the paved Shore Rd. Off this road, a new driveway for this lot will be completed in October. Once on the property, the lot owner is responsible for extending the driveway to their building site. The power line follows the access road and will be available at the property line; again the lot owner is responsible for extending the line to connect to their building. FibreOp, super-high-speed internet, is already available here! Finding water should not be a problem on this hillside, based on favourable experience with the other cottages. Restrictive covenants will apply to ensure the lot’s, and the area’s, property value. The land hosts an old-growth hardwood forest, with many of the trees over 150 years old, including some ancient maples, and beneath them beds of native ferns. The mature trees make a park-like setting, easy to walk around. This is a beautiful forest to explore. Up and down this stretch of the west coast of Cape Breton are several gorgeous beaches, harbours, lighthouses, trails, and spectacular views.
