Bourgeois Road, Petit Étang

Description

Never in your wildest dreams would you have ever thought you'd find a listing quite like this one...close to 20 acres with your own beach in Cape Breton just off the world-famous Cabot Trail. This is a piece of paradise unlike no other, a dream property to build your dream home. There are actually three sides to this property, the ocean side and the river side being the more predominant ones. The river side, also known as the "Buttereau", famous local swimming spot, resembles a lake where the river ends and spills out into the ocean through an opening in the causeway between the two waters. The river side is mostly calm waters, ideal for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The Cheticamp River is also very well known for its recreational fly fishing. The ocean side is a pebble beach but a quieter location if that's what you are looking for. The 3rd side is where there is frontage on a pond on the other side of Bourgeois Road. While out for a swim or a walk on the ocean side, you might catch a few fishermen hauling in their daily catch, a whale or two or the lovely sunsets over the horizon. The Highlands National Park is the backdrop to the river. Every way you look, the vistas are breathtaking. From the "Buttereau" you can access a walking trail up to the larger portion of land where you might want to position your dream home or cottage. Or even two homes with subdivision of the land. There is a drilled well and a driveway already in place, a good chunk of infrastructure done for building a masterpiece. The views from there are outstanding and something you are not likely to ever forget. This is truly a magical place where one could spend hours meditating, practicing yoga or just simply hanging out in a hammock. The simple life....Please note that the price is HST applicable.
