Overview
Description
Well known to the people of Chéticamp as the former Fraser’s Motel, this harbour-side property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with incredible views and flexible future use. Most recently, the property has been used to house foreign workers, but its possibilities extend far beyond its current setup. The property consists of three separate buildings: a dedicated kitchen building, a laundry building and a third building housing five private lodging units. Each lodging space includes a bedroom with table set and fridge, a full bathroom, and its own exterior entrance, making it ideal for short-term rentals, worker accommodations, or future reconfiguration. Buyers will appreciate the many redevelopment options: continue using it as five vacation rentals, convert it into one large seasonal or year-round residence, redevelop the site with a new waterfront home, or explore other creative investment ideas. The setting is what truly sets this property apart. Enjoy sweeping harbour views, watch fishing boats pass by, and take in spectacular sunsets across the water behind Chéticamp Island. While the property does require some work, the location and views make the effort worthwhile, and the potential is undeniable. A rare chance to invest, rebuild, or reimagine a well-known Chéticamp property in a truly exceptional waterfront setting.
