Escape to your own private paradise—an extraordinary 16.5-acre property with a main home plus waterfront studio, offering breathtaking views over St. Anns Bay & of the Cape Breton Highlands. This unique property features a private beach where you can swim in total seclusion, surrounded by natural beauty. As you drive down the driveway, the property opens up to a terraced garden—complete with water features and stonework—a canvas for any passionate gardener. The main chalet-style home is perched to take full advantage of the spectacular sunsets and panoramic views. With floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, an open-concept kitchen and living space plus two bathrooms. Off of the main living area is a sun-filled porch that could serve as a dining room, additional sitting area, or bedroom. Every corner is designed to connect with the outdoors. The loft-style primary bedroom offers incredible views, while the basement includes a second bedroom with its own walkout. Also in the lower level is laundry, utility, and storage area. Comfort is ensured year-round with a metal roof, electric heat, and ductless heat pumps on two levels. Two detached single garages and a storage shed offer ample space for vehicles and tools. A short walk along a stunning nature trail brings you to the waterfront studio—a log-built hideaway powered from the main house, with water sourced from a nearby brook and sweeping water views through its front-facing windows. Complete with stairs down to your private beach and a rustic outhouse, this studio is ideal for guests, a creative workspace, or a one-of-a-kind rental opportunity. With the possibility to subdivide but the beauty to keep it whole, this is truly a one-of-a-kind coastal haven. Come to see for yourself and be impressed with what this property has to offer.
