Description

Set on over an acre with 180 feet of sheltered waterfront along St. Andrews Channel, 696 Point Aconi Road feels quiet, private, and almost impossible to replicate. Mornings here come with glowing sunrises, calm water, loons calling in the distance, lobster fishing and the kind of peace people drive across the province searching for. Inside, the home feels just as impressive. Cathedral ceilings on both levels create an airy, dramatic feel throughout the space, while oversized windows pull the water views and natural light into nearly every room. The kitchen is massive - designed for gathering, entertaining, and feeding a full house after long summer days on the water. With three bedrooms, generous living space, and room for everyone to spread out, this home feels both grand and comfortable at the same time. For buyers thinking beyond just a primary residence, the opportunities here are significant. The property has already operated successfully as both an AirBnB and long-term rental, and the layout offers excellent flexibility for future income potential or multi-generational living. There is ample space for RV parking, boats, trailers, and outdoor toys — plus a separate 40' x 24' foundation with its own well, opening the door to future development, a guesthouse, workshop, studio, or additional dwelling (buyer to verify intended use). Tucked away in a peaceful waterfront setting, yet conveniently located just 15 minutes to the North Sydney ferry, 30 minutes to the Cabot Trail, and 30 minutes to Cape Breton University. Recent updates between 2022–2024 include new lighting and plumbing throughout, roof replacement, septic upgrades, heat pump installation, driveway improvements, and more. This property is hard to explain properly in photos alone. The scale, light, ceilings, and setting are something you truly need to experience in person.
