Property Description

Welcome to 1280 Big Harbour Island Road—an extraordinary 42-acre waterfront estate on Cape Breton’s Bras d’Or Lake, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its pristine waters and protected natural beauty. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, built in 2010, is beautifully maintained and offers over 850 feet of shoreline, unmatched privacy, and year-round recreation in one of Nova Scotia’s most sought-after destinations. Wake to sunrises over the lake, sip coffee on the deck as birdsong fills the air, and spend your evenings around the firepit or beach, watching moonrises, meteor showers, and even northern lights. Swim, sail, fish, kayak, paddleboard, or snowmobile right from your property. Golf, hike wooded trails, photograph the ever-changing sky, and greet “Buddy,” the resident bald eagle who’s been watching over the lake since 2009. This is a rare opportunity to live a lifestyle immersed in nature while also offering outstanding flexibility and income potential. With 42 acres and generous waterfrontage (850’), there is ample space to add guest cottages, cabins, or seasonal accommodations, making it ideal as a retreat, family compound, or sustainable rental property. Located in an area NOT subject to Canada’s foreign buyer ban, this home is also accessible to international buyers. It’s within reach of Halifax, Sydney, and Port Hawkesbury airports, making travel easy while offering the peace and quiet of a truly private setting. Whether you’re seeking a year-round residence, recreational escape, or a long-term investment, 1280 Big Harbour Island Road combines natural wonder, recreation, and potential in a way few properties can. This is Cape Breton at its most beautiful—and it’s ready to welcome you home.
