Wake up to the Bras d'Or Lake every single day. Few properties anywhere in Canada offer this combination: nearly 10 acres of forested privacy, ~590 feet of personal shoreline, a private beach, & a thoughtfully built, 2 year old, 2 bedroom, 1 bath contemporary home all within the UNESCO-designated Bras d'Or Biosphere Reserve on Cape Breton Island. This is 4-season waterfront living at its finest, where you can swim, kayak, & boat straight from your own beach in summer, then snowshoe & explore trails through your own forest in winter, all while watching eagles fish the lake from your living room through floor-to-ceiling, south-facing windows that ensure you never miss a moment. The land is exceptional, & the home matches it - set on ~5 cleared acres with another 5 in natural forest, this finely crafted one-level residence was built by the owner for personal retirement, with construction led by a partner from a long line of Ontario builders, resulting in a standard of quality that is genuinely hard to replicate at this price point. The home features 10 ceilings, solid-core doors, full-thickness engineered hardwood, & 36 doorways throughout, along with an overbuilt slab-on-grade foundation, hydronic in-floor heating, HRV, UV water treatment, & premium insulation (R60/R32/R20) to ensure year-round efficiency & comfort, while striking thermally modified Nordic wood cladding is specifically designed for Maritime freeze-thaw conditions & requires minimal maintenance. An oversized septic system, both dug & drilled wells, & an 1818 boat shed complete an already impressive package. This is a rare opportunity, priced to move, as a change in family circumstances is bringing the sellers back to Ontario. The property is offered below tax assessed value. It is not subject to the federal foreign buyer ban. Turnkey, move-in ready properties like this on the Bras d'Or Lake seldom become available & rarely at this price.
