This home built in 2016 with massive logs (five of them make up a wall!) faces the Margaree River estuary and the ocean from 8 acres of waterfront land in Belle Cote. More than half of the main floor - the open kitchen/dining/living space - has an impressive cathedral ceiling. Also on the main floor is a bedroom, bathroom and a storage cum workshop space.
Upstairs a loft, supported by a colossal log beam, has beautiful wood paneling and the stairs and balcony have birch balusters and railings.
The full basement has two more bedrooms, another bathroom, and a large den/rec room plus the utility room. The roofed front porch faces the ocean and sunsets.
The house is 32 x 44, and with two floors plus the loft there's over 2,700 sq ft of finished living space.
The logs are white pine brought from northern Quebec, floors are engineered hardwood. There is infloor heat in both basement and main floors, with an electric furnace heating the water.
A dug well with 4 crocks is not far behind the house, and of course there's a septic so far little used. A Generac propane generator is not connected yet but included in the sale.
This is an almost new and low maintenance home in a great location. Plenty of room for more buildings on this large oceanfront property. The land is already composed of two parcels, so half of the land can be sold or passed on as a separate property with no need for subdivision.
Location
Situated a couple of minutes from beautiful Margaree Harbour beach, even closer to fine dining at Island Sunset. All the other attractions of the west coast of Cape Breton are within easy reach: beaches, music, fishing on the ocean or the legendary Margaree River system, hiking, and of course golf.
The Margaree Harbour wharf is just across the water, and a canoe or kayak can be pulled up on your own shore.
A twenty minute drive south is Inverness with its full service hospital and it's famous Cabot golf courses. The same north lies Cheticamp and the entrance to the Highlands National Park. Just 3kms north is a P-12 school.
