Description

This nearly-new 2 BR/1 BA, 1, 433 sq. Ft. Open-concept, one-level home delivers turnkey, four-season waterfront living on the legendary Bras d’Or Lake—within the UNESCO-designated Bras d’Or Biosphere Reserve. Set on nearly 10 acres (~5 cleared) with ~590 ft of shoreline, a private beach and exceptional privacy, this contemporary residence blends bespoke design with modern performance and outstanding value. Floor-to-ceiling, south-facing windows frame stunning lake views, flood the home with natural light, and capture passive solar gain. Built by the owner for retirement and led by the seller’s partner, a builder from a long line of Ontario builders—the quality reflects a standard that’s hard to replicate. Features include 10’ ceilings, 36” doorways, solid-core doors, and full-thickness engineered hardwood. Comfort and efficiency are embedded in the design with an overbuilt slab-on-grade foundation, hydronic in-floor heating, HRV, UV water treatment, and premium insulation (R60 attic/R32 walls/R20 floor). Low-maintenance, premium thermally modified Nordic wood cladding provides striking curb appeal and durability for Maritime freeze-thaw conditions. Oversized septic design, dug well plus drilled well, and an 18’ x 18’ boat shed complete the package. A change in family circumstances now necessitates a move back to Ontario—creating a rare opportunity for the next owners. Swim, fish, kayak, and boat from your own shoreline, explore nearby trails for hiking, with snowshoeing, skiing, and snowmobiling in the winter months—all from an efficient, low-maintenance home surrounded by wildlife and forest. Not subject to the federal foreign buyer ban, this property is ideal for out-of-province and international purchasers. A truly rare find priced to sell below tax assessed value - an incredible, move-in-ready waterfront opportunity on Cape Breton Island.
