For sale by owner:

85 acres of land at Big Ridge, (Highway 327), Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is situated 5 km from Marian Bridge and the beautiful Mira River. Marian Bridge has all amenities (grocery store, liquor store, gas, post office, senior citizen`s home, cafe, community hall). There is also a public boat launch and a swim area. The city of Sydney is only 26 kilometres away. The land has been newly surveyed and migrated and is ready for sale. It has original wood with pulp and hardwood throughout; two acres of natural organic blueberries, never sprayed; and lots of wildlife (deer, rabbits, and more) to enjoy. A brook, with wild trout, runs through the middle of the property.

This acreage was originally two properties, now joined into one with civic numbers 5477 and 5423. The old folks who lived there passed away and their 2.9 acres was purchased by me at a tax sale so that I could make it all one parcel again. Their old house is still standing but deteriorating quickly. There is a small barn which could be used for storage when someone is building a new home there. It has a drilled well, septic system, and power pole in the driveway.

An extra driveway that previously existed was paved at the bottom when new paving was installed in the area. This highway is part of the Fleur de-lis Trail that runs from the Canso Causeway to Glacé Bay. Ten kilometres from the property lies the quaint little village of Gabarus which has a great beach and an award winning sea wall which attracts many visitors each year. Just an 18 kilometre drive will take you to the 3800 hectare Gabarus Wilderness Area and 46 kilometres away is the National Historic Site of the Fortress of Louisburg. Two Rivers Wildlife Park and Campground is just 17 kilometers away.

What this property offers is the peace and quiet of country living yet is within easy driving distance of Nova Scotia`s second largest city, Sydney. Here you can enjoy both of the extremes of rural life and city life. This can be your paradise for the price of $159,000.
