Overview
Description
This property is a 2.7 acre wooded lot a mile from Chimney Corner on the west coast of Cape Breton that has been partly cleared. There is now a charming new tiny home with nine windows and a loft. The home is fully insulated, and heated by a wood stove. There is 200 amp (!) electrical service, and the wood stove installation is fully certified. Also on the property is an RV on a solid gravel pad, protected by a handsome newly-constructed wooden 12x24 structure with metal roof. In front a 6x10 porch has floor and roof. The RV (included in the sale) could be pulled out some day and the 12x24 structure finished into a home or garage. Access off the Shore Road is from a quality gravel driveway. The seller has been developing and enjoying this land seasonally for 4 years, gardening and doing some selective clearing of the woods. A new owner planning a house will need to choose a water source and septic system. The lower boundary of the property is formed by Mizies brook, which empties into Petite Eglise Cove and its rocky ocean beach.. This place is an ideal camping spot close to Chimney Corner, Whale Cove beach and the Cabot Trail. But it’s potential is for someone to continue the development project and turn this place into a beautiful summer retreat or year-round home. This secluded setting is 200 yards behind a rocky beach called Petite Eglise Cove, and a mile from the beautiful sandy cove at Chimney Corner. Four miles north lies Margaree Harbour, the Cabot Trail, and another lovely sand beach. It’s 20 minutes south to Inverness, its amenities and Cabot golf; 30 minutes north to Cheticamp and the entrance to the celebrated National Park. An ideal location for exploring the beautiful west coast of Cape Breton Island.
