81 Maceachern Road, North Side East Bay, NS B1J 1E4

Description

Set along the shores of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bras d’Or Lake, 81 MacEachern Road offers a rare opportunity to own approximately nine acres of waterfront property in beautiful Northside East Bay. Tucked away down a quiet driveway lane, the property opens from mature trees into a sunlit clearing where this charming cottage, built in 1982 by respected East Bay builder John Joe MacGillivary, proudly overlooks the lake from its elevated setting on cement piers. A wraparound deck welcomes you to the home and provides the perfect place to enjoy peaceful mornings, evening barbecues, and sweeping lake views as sailboats drift across the water and eagles soar overhead. Inside, the cottage is bright and inviting with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area designed to maximize natural light and the surrounding scenery. Patio doors off the living room lead directly to the front deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The cottage features three bedrooms, two currently equipped with bunk beds, making it ideal for family getaways or hosting guests. A full four-piece bathroom completes the interior. Vinyl siding, asphalt shingles, and electric baseboard heating create a low-maintenance property that can continue as a seasonal escape or potentially be upgraded for year-round living. The elevated open underside of the cottage allows easy access for future insulating or improvements. The land itself is truly special. A large cleared area offers stunning views of the Bras d’Or Lake while mature trees provide privacy and natural beauty throughout the property. Walking trails lead down toward the waterfront where approximately 40 feet of access allows you to reach the sandy shoreline and calm waters around the pond area leading into the lake. MacEachern Road also includes deeded beach access nearby for even more enjoyment of this sought-after shoreline. Shed, privacy, acreage, lake views, beach access, and endless potential.
