Beautiful properties located on the west coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
This 14 +/- acre property runs from the paved Banks Road to the ocean, just over a mile from the centre of the town of Inverness. Largely cleared, wooded along the edges and lower down, there are lovely ocean views from almost everywhere on the land.
A truly unequalled location, the place is a minute or two from the heart of busy Inverness, yet here you are in a rural setting of many acres, peaceful and secluded.
This 35-acre property high above the Shore Road at Chimney Corner offers fantastic panoramic views over the ocean, Margaree Island and Chimney Corner point. Spectacular sunsets are a regular feature of this commanding hillside location. Photos cannot display the width of the ocean view - see below for a video link that gives a better idea.
There are three existing cottages on the original 130-acre parcel, all with the same vast ocean views, but all invisible from each other, separated by distance, forest and greenery. The size of this lot - 350 feet wide at the building site area - guarantees complete privacy. No-cut zones will ensure that privacy will be maintained indefinitely.
If you have seen the 35 acre lot also listed on this site, prepare for a quantum leap! Or rather a leap up about a hundred feet - a hundred feet higher up the mountain. We’ve seen a lot of views, but our reaction to this one - driving the final stretch and turning to face the sea - was just WOW! And more WOW.
Not often we lead with a photo taken out a window! Never in fact.
But it shows how close to The River this modular home is.
After a flood on this property in 2010, the site was secured with a massive rock and gravel foundation, professionally designed, to raise the property up. Then the building was installed by an expert in the field.
Since then the area has experienced various floods and storms like hurricane Fiona with no serious consequences for this home.
And what a view! This 11,000 + square foot lot overlooks Inverness harbour, the golf course and the ocean., facing west into the sunsets. Bordering the front of the property is the former railway line from Inverness to the Causeway, now the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail, a well maintained hiking, biking, skiing etc trail.
This handsome Century home is on 50 acres in 'The Glen" located at the base of Cape Mabou midway between Inverness and Mabou. The setting offers sweeping countryside views to the west.
In the '80s a piece was added to the house - the wing on the right in the photo above - giving a family room, a laundry/utility room, a main floor bathroom, a bigger kitchen and dining area, and a small bedroom/office.
This half company house is situated on Mann Avenue, the street next to Cabot Links. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs; kitchen, two living rooms, front porch and a half bath down. It is currently rented - for the 2025 season - to three golf course workers (one of the living rooms serving as a thrid bedroom). The fenced back yard is ideal for small kids and pets.
Not a lot to say about this property! Just 3.2 acres on the ocean (400 feet of oceanfront ) with spectacular views in all directions: up and down the coast, straight out to Margaree Island, and inland too. There’s a rocky pebble beach to explore and swim from. The clifftop site is accessed via a right of way from the Shore Road.
A rare opportunity in the sought-after Broad Cove Marsh area near Inverness, also known as the "mini Cabot Trail".
This 7 acre property just off the Marsh Road has been surveyed as two lots, both about 3.5 acres. See them outlined on the aerial photo below. To be clear, both lots are included in this sale.
The land is mostly cleared, there are many possible building sites in close proximity to the ocean.
This property is a work-in-progress looking for someone to take it over.
The 2.7 acre wooded lot a mile from Chimney Corner has a newly cleared area, an 8x12 tiny home with loft and wood stove. Access off the Shore Road is from a quality gravel driveway, also new, along with a pad to park the RV on. (The RV is included in the sale.)
The Grant house has the very best ‘iconic’ Inverness view - meaning the harbour, wharf, boats, Cabot Links, the beach dunes, the ocean, and of course sunsets over the sea - that there is. There are no power poles and cables in sight, no highway and traffic between house and view, as this property is - unlike the others in this area - on the ocean side of Central Avenue. This panorama in Inverness has no compare. No photo can do justice to the 180 degree breadth of view standing in front of the house.
The older home, in excellent condition, is unusual for its time in being built as a duplex, each side having kitchen, dining and living rooms on the main floor with bath and three bedrooms upstairs.
The parcel is huge for a town lot: 0.7 acres.
It’s a once in a lifetime event for this house to come on the market! Situated on Central Avenue in Inverness it overlooks the ocean, the harbour and part of the Cabot Links golf course. Sunsets from this house are spectacular. Inside, high ceilings, large rooms and beautiful design and finishes are unequalled. The house has a heritage designation. The elegantly landscaped property has numerous well maintained gardens, trees and shrubs.
This fine old mansion in Mabou is situated on a 24,500 sq ft (over half an acre) piece of land in the middle of the picturesque and historical village of Mabou. The main house has 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and a powder room, and large principal rooms downstairs. A wing added to the house forms a self contained apartment, currently used as an office.
This has been called an ‘old-fashioned acreage’ meaning it is not a long strip (usually created by subdivisions) but close to a square, 2700 ft by 3000 ft. The Smithville Road provides one of the long sides of the property, and the old railway line running from Inverness to the Canso Causeway - now the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail - is the other long boundary.
Talk about ‘on the river’ - this substantial three floor home is in a perfect position to view the river from windows, decks, and the screen porch. The home has a living room with a dramatic cathedral ceiling, 6 bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a beautiful waterfront site with mature deciduous trees. The full basement, siding and much else is very recent, starting in 2019.
