Eight Hundred Feet of Private Shoreline. Seven Acres of Woodland. All the Bras d'Or to Explore.
Tucked into a protected harbour along the Bras d'Or Scenic Drive, this private slope of shoreline runs from woodland to a sand-and-pebble landing with a boat put-in, where quiet water stretches to the open lake and Atlantic beyond. The Wide shallows warm quickly and freeze early in the harbour, making it ideal for every season. And there's depth enough too for mooring large vessels so that ocean-going sailors can drop anchor here.
