Total Privacy In Friendly Community. Beaches, Artisan Shops, Beautiful Area

The House On The Hill is located in Breton Cove, a tiny fishing community on the Cabot Trail. Hidden away in the woods with a 220 metre driveway, it affords total privacy. It is halfway between Baddeck and Ingonish, making it easy to access golf courses, museums, beaches, hiking trails, and the spectacular scenery of Cape Breton Island. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park is only 30 minutes away, it has excellent beaches, and great hiking. Wildlife abounds in the park, but it is also present just outside the house. Moose, fox, eagles, and even the occasional black bear, are your neighbours. We ask that you refrain from feeding the wildlife and to remember that they are wild creatures living in the wilderness. The house sits on a treed hillside with views of the ocean through the foliage. A spacious lawn provides a safe setting for children and barbecues. Little River Harbour is just down the road. Lobster and crab can be bought right off the boat during the seasons. Boating excursions for fishing, sightseeing, whale watching can be arranged locally.
