Property Description
A private Cape Breton estate on nearly 200 acres with deeded access and views of Bras d'Or Lakes! Known to generations of Cape Bretoners as the former Rita's Tea Room, this landmark property has been thoughtfully reimagined as a spacious, single family home. Bright, neutral finishes and an abundance of natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The generous layout was made for bringing people together, with an impressive great room/living room, separate dining room, and a beautifully updated kitchen centered around a large island. Whether its dinner with friends or a celebration with 100+ guests, this home offers the space to celebrate every occasion with ease. A full bathroom completes the main living area. The private bedroom wing with its own entrance features three bedrooms including a spacious primary suite with its own ensuite bath along with a convenient kitchenette that adds everyday functionality and flexibility. The lower level provides even more living space with a family room, ample storage, a utility room and a fourth bedroom (buyer to verify egress). Outside is where this property truly shines. Beautifully landscaped grounds surround the home, while expansive outdoor living spaces including multiple decks, a pergola covered entertainment area and wheelchair accessible outdoor spaces invite you to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting. Sip your morning coffee while listening to the gentle sounds of the nearby brook and taking in views of the Bras d'Or Lake. Located just 10 minutes from The Lakes Golf Club, Ski Ben Eoin and the Ben Eoin Marina, you'll enjoy year round recreation with golf, skiing, snowboarding, boating and everything the Bras d'Or Lakes has to offer all while being only 30 minutes to Sydney. Rich in history, surrounded by the natural beauty Cape Breton is known for, and thoughtfully designed for making memories, this is a truly exceptional property ready to welcome its next chapter.
