Description

Set just off Hatchery Road in Portree, this prime piece of Cape Breton land offers a rare opportunity to build in the middle of one of Nova Scotia’s most sought-after outdoor regions. Whether you're chasing Atlantic salmon, carving snowmobile trails, or simply looking for a well-located rural base with serious potential—this property is ready to go! Located only 0.3 km from the Backlands Road trailhead, you're steps from some of the area’s best access for snowmobiling, four-wheeling, and side-by-side riding. The lot sits perfectly between two popular Margaree fishing holes—Ross’s Bridge and the Hatchery Pool—each just 1.6 km away. It’s also just 8 km to The Dancing Goat Café and the entrance to the world-famous Cabot Trail. Major infrastructure work is already complete, saving you months of planning and permitting. The property features an ICF foundation, with under-slab plumbing and electrical conduit already installed. A C1 septic system is approved, and power is on site with a right-of-way secured through Nova Scotia Power, including a pole and temporary service already in place. Tree thinning and silviculture have also been completed to open up the lot while maintaining privacy. This offering includes engineered house plans and drawings, with time still remaining to tailor the build to suit your needs—whether that’s a seasonal fishing and hunting base or a year-round family home designed for generational living. Several local contractors have already expressed interest in taking the next steps. If you’ve been looking for a head start in a well-known recreational region with infrastructure already underway, 478 Hatchery Road is worth a serious look.
