HOUSE ON THE HILL This riverfront house is a fantastic entertaining home. The current owner had large kitchen parties, hosting up to 150 people and was the event of the summer for musicians, locals and come from away folk. Built in 1980 by the Gaudet Brothers and is solid as a rock was designed by Barbara Mills (Original owner). Concrete foundation and spacious basement. The house is 3 quarters open concept with a sunken living room and a cosy fireplace insert to warm up in the cooler months. Bold timber wraps around the living room to keep anyone from making a misstep. The spacious primary bedroom with a new ensuite bathroom, spans the end of the house and is tucked away but easily assessable. There is a propane fireplace for warmth and atmosphere. Upstairs you can see all goings on in the living room, but also could curl up and read a book away from the main floor. 2 Bedrooms with a bathroom finish the upstairs area. The 9.5 acres flow gently towards the Margaree River with 268 feet of waterfront and romantic wandering paths to get there. Pop your canoe or kayak into the river and go up the Margaree or out to the Harbour. The side lawn is perfect for BBQs, outside parties and games or just enjoy a quiet evening. Then there are the sunsets which western Cape Breton is known for. Wildlife is plentiful here with the fields and woods, watch the hawks searching for food next door. You could not be in a better location than Belle Cote. There are 2 Beaches very close by. Margaree Harbour more for families and Belle Cote beach for the adventurous. Up the coast 20 minutes is Cheticamp an Acadian village for shopping, whale watching, restaurants and an excellent golf course. Also the well known Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Towards the south is Inverness with the world famous Cabot Links Golf course. Also shopping and the Inverness County Centre for the Arts. This is a must see home!
