Broad Cove Marsh Road

This 5-acre property on the Broad Cove Marsh road outside Inverness - sometimes referred to as the ‘mini Cabot Trail’ - is perched on a high cliff with spectacular views up and down the coast. The land has a total of 1220 feet of ocean frontage. The place has no equal in terms of views, including inland views. The property occupies the area between the Marsh Road and the ocean, long and narrow at the south end but widening out at the north. There is a driveway leading up the hill. The southern portion is too steep and narrow to build on but the property widens out to the north and there is a prime area for building, well back from the cliff edge! An architect’s assessment of the property was completed a few 4 years ago, interested parties can ask to see this. It includes a good description of the property, and a discussion of the best areas for building, including panoramic photos of the views from there. A drilled well and septic system would be required to have a permanent dwelling on the property. Power is at roadside. The current owner had planned on 3 locations for building, and has had an engineer map out locations for three septic fields. It’s a 10 minute drive, 5 miles, to Inverness with its amenities like shops, restaurants, a full service hospital, the two famous Cabot golf courses, the 3 mile beach, arts centre, harness racing….. The entire west coast of Cape Breton is within easy driving distance, including Cheticamp, (via the Cabot Trail) and the Cape Breton National Park.
