Overview
Description
This is an older trailer in great shape, on 33 acres with a glorious view of the lake. There are two bedrooms. Renovations were made in 2012 when the trailer was installed, including a drilled well and a septic system to code. The owners used the place as a summer cottage and removed the oil furnace. It has little decks front and back, and a baby-barn shed. Appliances included. The land is a strip about 212 feet wide, and goes back over a mile. Wooded, with a mix of softwood and hardwood. There are remants of an old road behind the trailer heading back into the woods. Keep this as a convenient and fully equipped summer retreat. Or fix it up with heat (heat pumps?) for winter living. Or stay in it while you build another home. This is a mostly rural area, and the drives in both directions are senic. Curiously it’s the same distance to both of the main destinations, Inverness and Whcocomagh, a 15 to 20 minute drive to either. Both have many amenities and services. As well Inverness has the beach and golf, and a full-service hospital, where Whycocomagh is on the Trans Canada highway, giving direct highway routes to Halifax or Sydney. Access to the lake - to fish or put a boat in the water say - is not far away.
