50601 Cabot Trail, St Anns, NS B0E 1B0

The home is built to the highest standards and is what the glossy real estate magazines like to use to delight and impress their readers in the best of locations. With 1,000 feet of waterfront situated on St. Ann's Bay, the views through the lovely growth of maples will never cease to captivate, having been expertly landscaped for all seasons. Being almost 40 acres, the house becomes the standard bearer for comfort, charm and peace. The cathedraled great room, with fireplace centered for winter evenings, serves all year for congenial meetings and is reminiscent of classic European chateaus. The dining room continues that mode, nicely located between the gourmet kitchen and the great room, providing just the right social atmosphere. The views from all of the bedrooms complete the image and emphasize privacy with pleasing taste. There is a recently rebuilt wide full length verandah facing the bay designed to capture the sun as well as glimpses of the bay. An old orchard lies across the road on 35 acres which could be used for a wide range of activities including animals, vegetable gardening, a source of firewood, forest trails or development. The waterfront could support a wharf, or even a cantilevered deck, out over the rocky beach as a starting point for walks along the waters' edge or to enjoy the cool sea breezes. This is an unusual offering located in one of Cape Breton's most beautiful areas - St. Ann's Bay. Situated as it is, this property is an ideal place to enjoy living year round and can accommodate large or extended families with room for guests providing a quiet rural lifestyle a comfortable distance from urban intrusions. Only a portion of the property is subject to HST.
