1707 Highway 395, East Lake Ainslie, Nova Scotia B0E 3M0

This cottage faces the lake 100 feet away, has 3 bedrooms and an airy open-plan kitchen/living area. A line of mature maple trees frames the beautiful lake view. Secluded and serene, this is a perfect seasonal property with year-round living also an option. Simple and ready to move into: well maintained, electric heat, well water treatment system. 2.9 acres total in two parcels. The beach is mostly smooth stones, crystal clear water - no marsh land here. A good place to put in a kayak or other small craft. There are even remnants on the beach of an old slipway. An addition on the end of the building houses the water pump, water heater and treatment gear, and laundry facilities. A good sized garage 24 x 16 with a concrete floor is behind the house. A brook runs slowly through the back of the cleared section of the land. The remainder of the lot towards the highway is wooded giving privacy and seclusion. This cottage is ideally positioned to enjoy the idyllic surroundings of this secluded lakeshore as well as being easy to get to from the outside world. From your wooded driveway the paved Highway 395, after only 8 miles, joins the Trans Canada Highway at Whycocomagh. From where Halifax or Sydney are easy drives. Whycocomagh provides a choice of shopping and restaurants. A lovely drive around the lake - about 15 miles either way, take your choice - leads to Inverness and access to all of the western side of Cape Breton: golf, beaches, fishing, hiking … so much to explore.
