Property Description

A Cape Breton Castle! This extraordinary property presents a rare opportunity to complete and reimagine a landmark estate on almost 160 acres in Aberdeen, Cape Breton Island. Built in 1992, the castle-inspired structure is set within a striking natural landscape, highlighted by a rushing brook through the grounds, creating a truly unique atmosphere. Originally designed with commercial use in mind, the property has successfully operated as a luxury bed and breakfast and offers strong future potential as a retreat centre, boutique resort, or private estate. The expansive layout spans multiple levels and includes large common areas, 12 guest suites, a commercial kitchen, dining space, and recreational areas, reflecting the scale and ambition of its original vision. Significant progress has been made under current ownership, with major construction completed & extensive landscaping. Most of the exterior walls have been fully replaced with new studs, sheathing and most new windows installed, apart from the ‘Great Room’, providing a solid and modernized building envelope including most new roofing shingles. Interior finishing, including flooring, drywall in select areas, and painting, allowing a new owner to customize the final design and bring the project to completion. With the most intensive structural work behind you, the property is well positioned for transformation into an impressive destination. Surrounded by acreage, natural water features, amazing water views and access to the Bras d’Or Lake, this is a rare offering for a buyer prepared to invest in completing a truly iconic Cape Breton property with exceptional scale and future potential. Purchase options could include a partnership opportunity with current owner who has an in-depth & profitable business plan along with a vision and passion for the property that was thought-out with the seller’s late partner. A Cape Breton Castle could be your family legacy! All offers to be presented on January 30th 2026.
