Perfect Summer House With 360 Degree Views

This gorgeous home on 50 acres of ocean-front property has been featured in numerous international publications for its interior design and spectacular location. A modern version of classic Cape Breton architecture, the open-plan and informal home features wall-to-wall windows and a wrap-around deck to take in the 360 degree views of ocean, rugged coastline, Margaree island, and tree-covered rolling hills. Experience all of the natural beauty and incredible wildlife Cape Breton has to offer — sunsets over the water, sunrises over the hills, whales swimming off the coast, eagles and hawks flying overhead, moonlit evenings, and fields strewn with wildflowers and berries. Complement your experience with modern amenities such as Wifi, Sonos system with interior and exterior speakers, washer and dryer, a fully equipped kitchen, as well bikes and kayaks to explore the area and a telescope to take everything in. The house sleeps up to 8 in 3 bedrooms: a king bedroom, a queen bedroom and a bedroom with 4 twins. There are two bathrooms with views of the water (a breath-taking bathing experience!) plus an exterior shower with views of the coastline and hills.

Local attractions and activities abound — whether it be relaxing on the beach, hiking, golfing, touring, enjoying local ceilidhs and square-dances, whale-watching, exploring Acadian and Celtic cultures, fly-fishing, sailing, kayaking, discovering local crafts — within one hour of the house. We are 1/2 a mile from the fine sands and Gulf-warmed waters of Chimney Corner beach (the quiet waters make it perfect swimming for children and adults alike), 10 minutes from the Cabot Trail, 15 minutes from Cabot Links golf resort (listed on both Golf Digest’s and Golf Magazine’s “World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses”), 40 minutes to the entry of the Highlands National Park, 10 minutes from the Margaree river and fly-fishing, 15 minutes to Inverness’s 2.5 mile sand beach and boardwalk, and 60 minutes to the town and lakes of Baddeck, Alexander Graham Bell’s summer residence.
