Overview
Description
Perfectly situated along the Cabot Travel in Northern Cape Breton, this property sits in the beautiful and historic Acadian enclave of Cheticamp. This picturesque fishing village is a tourist magnet and located at one of two entrances to Canada's famous Cape Breton Highland National Park, sensational beaches, a golf course and the iconic Skyline Trail. The 2000 square foot building was previously operated as a restaurant and has since undergone extensive renovations with all new bathrooms, fixtures and wheelchair accessibility. The building meets all current standards and consists of a main level plus basement. On the main level there is a dining room, 2 bathrooms and a commercial kitchen while the basement provides excellent storage space and has its own entrance. There is a high efficiency propane furnace, a heat pump, 2 pellet stoves and an air conditioning system. From the west side of the building are stunning views of the Harbour and Cheticamp island. Although the property is currently equipped and ready to be utilized again as a restaurant, it could easily be renovated to a residential property with some relatively minor modifications in the kitchen and bathrooms. Considering that hundreds of thousands of vehicles drive the Cabot Trail each year during a typical tourism season and that Cape Breton Island has been ranked as a number one destination by numerous travel magazines, this property could represent the business opportunity of a lifetime.
