Property Description
Tucked away just outside the village of Iona, this extraordinary 63-acre property on the Bras dOr Lakes offers over 2,000 feet of pristine waterfront including a protected grassy beach with a boat launch and dramatic clay cliffs with panoramic lake views. With two standalone homes, a handcrafted log cabin, established gardens, and a private trail network, it feels like your own national park perfect as a family retreat, year-round home, or vacation rental opportunity. The main residence (24 x 24) was fully reimagined since 2021 essentially rebuilt with a new foundation, siding, roof, electrical, insulation, interior finishes, and a sunny new addition. The second cottage (16 x 22) is currently off-grid, powered by solar panels and four 12V batteries, with a propane stove and hot water heater. A nearby power pole offers easy access for future hookup. At the top of the property, a handcrafted 12 x 12 log cabin with a metal roof sits privately among the trees unfinished inside but full of charm and potential as a studio, retreat, or future guest cabin. The land is what truly sets this property apart. 63 acres of forest, gardens, and hiking trails wind through elevated lookouts and quiet woodland. A productive vegetable garden, fruit trees, and perennials reflect years of care. High-speed fibre-op internet is available, though cell signal can be inconsistent. Negotiable with the right offer is a package of well-maintained equipment to help manage the property: a John Deere ride-on mower, Honda generator and a Honda 4x4 side-by-side. Located just 45 minutes from Sydney (with airport and full services) and minutes from Iona, this is a rare Cape Breton offering with incredible natural beauty, privacy, and potential for expansion whether as a rental business, family compound, or peaceful lakeside lifestyle.
