70 South Cormier Rd, Belle Côte, Nova Scotia B0E 1C0

This superb home overlooks the ocean, Margaree Harbour and the river estuary from its commanding hilltop location. The 9.5 acre property slopes gently down to the riverside, with several entrancing paths cut through the native shrubs, small tress and grasses of the meadow. The land has 268 ft of river frontage. The barn-shaped house is 36 x 48 feet, two floors and a basement. The unique design has much of the living area on both floors wrapped around three sides of a sunken living room open to the cathedral ceiling. Both levels are full of beautifully crafted timber and log joinery. Floors are hardwood and ceramic tile. Windows are everywhere! The well-equipped functional kitchen is situated along the south wall, and leads to the spacious (20 x 12) master bedroom, complete with a propane firplace, and the recently renovated ensite bathroom - both tucked away at the back of the house. Kitchen and bedroom each have doors in the south wall opening onto small decks, leading to outside sitting areas. Upstairs are two bedrooms and another full bath. Furniture and equipment are included in the sale. This home is a few minutes from Margaree Harbor with it’s gorgeous sandy beach, and there’s a list of other beaches within easy reach. It would be hard to pick a more central location from which to explore the west coast of Cape Breton, with Inverness and Mabou to the south, Cheticamp and the Highlands National Park north, and all the Margarees inland up the river. Lovely sunsets of course, from this west-facing spot.
