Own a piece of Canadian music history with this expansive 5.7-acre waterfront estate, famously known as the former residence of legendary songstress Rita MacNeil. Built specifically for Rita between 1991 and 1992, the home has been meticulously preserved and features many of her original high-end touches. Located on the shores of Sydney River, this multi-unit property is far more than a home; it is a high-performance, turnkey hospitality property with a proven track record as a very successful short-term rental. The estate offers approximately 5, 500 square feet of finished living space across three distinct units, providing unparalleled flexibility for an owner-occupier or investor. The main house is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom masterpiece featuring a massive chefs kitchen and a sun-drenched solarium, while the lower level, once Ritas personal recording studio, now serves as a premier entertainment hub with a games room and bar. Connected by a breezeway is the private "Ritas Suite, " which contains two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen, alongside a chic, open-concept upper-level bachelor unit equipped with its own full kitchen and bath. Lifestyle and amenities abound as you experience ultimate relaxation in the 1, 500 square foot indoor saltwater pool complex, featuring soaring cedar ceilings and lake views. The grounds are a masterpiece of landscaping, ranging from "Ritas Garden" by the babbling brookwhere she composed much of her musicto the private dock on Sydney River for boating and swimming. The property is engineered for modern sustainability with a full solar array and heat pumps to minimize operational costs. With an established management team and cleaning staff willing to stay on board, this destination stands as the most unique and high-yielding waterfront offering in Cape Breton today. (id:58753)
