Overview
Description
A rare and extraordinary oceanfront property offering 122 acres of unmatched privacy and coastal beauty. With approximately 1587 feet of bold shoreline, this former farmstead features a stunning mix of sandy beach and dramatic rock cliffs, along with expansive open fields on the water side of the road. While the original farmhouse and barn are long gone, a charming off-grid bunkie has been built; a cozy retreat with a second floor and covered deck, perfect for taking in the sea breeze and panoramic views. The property spans both sides of a public road, which is not government maintained but has been improved by the current owner to allow easy access. Nestled next to the 13,000-acre Fortress of Louisbourg crown land, this parcel offers incredible seclusion and natural surroundings; ideal for a private estate, nature retreat, or future development. The high side of the road is wooded and was once the site of the original farmhouse, while the lower side opens to oceanfront fields, where the barn once stood. Whether you're dreaming of a coastal getaway, a self-sufficient off-grid lifestyle, or simply a place to connect with nature, this rare Cape Breton gem delivers.
