Kayaking on Breen's Pond in front of the Seaside Villa
|
|
Nestled on a beautiful 18-acre peninsula with spectacular views of Breen's Pond and St. George's Bay, this classy new three-story shingled villa and (optional) cottage is the perfect getaway.
Outdoors, you’ll be welcomed by an extraordinary array of birds and wildlife that share this serene and unspoiled place–-bald eagle, arctic tern, marsh hawk, kingfisher, blue heron, rabbit, and deer, just to name a few.
Indoors you’ll be welcomed by warm birch floors, elegant furnishings, and original art, including the stunning Nova Scotia sea-blue concrete countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and the slate-blue hearth and Celtic mural wall in the living room. The high-end kitchen has everything you'll need for entertaining–-even a wine cooler. The dining room seats 8 around the antique round pine table and lazy susan. The living room has comfortable overstuffed sectional couches where you can relax and gaze at the water or watch the fire in the glass-front Jøtul woodburning stove. Interior glass French doors lead to the den/optional sleeping area with its sunny window seat, comfy queen-size futon, leather club chair and ottoman, 32-inch flat-screen TV (with high def), and a private screened porch/solarium where you can kick back on the porch swing or play games at the table for four.
Down the gallery-lit art-filled staircase you’ll find a striking turquoise concrete floor in the second den/optional sleeping area with its L.L. Bean queen-size sleeper sofa and Vermont Casting glass-front woodburning stove. The turquoise floor flows into the second full bedroom with its early 20th Century mahogany sleigh bed and dresser--and walk-out water view. You’ll also find a full-equipped laundry room on this lower level.
Up the stairs (from the main level) to the spacious upper level, you’ll find the sky-lit master bedroom with its carved Caribbean four-poster bed and its own private deck. A two-person whirlpool bathtub with amazing water views is the centerpiece of the master bathroom. And there's a cozy corner office and a large upper deck with Adirondacks and rattan chaises--the perfect spot to birdwatch or count shooting stars.
Inside or out, it’s a wonderful place to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty, entertain your family and friends, or just relax. In the morning you can sip your tea or coffee on the decks and watch the lobster boats come and go on St. George's Bay or watch the mist rise on Breen's Pond. In the afternoon, you can walk down the path to the water's edge where kayaks are waiting, or you can walk to Cape Jack Beach where the swimming is excellent. In the evening you can sink into the couches and read a good book or watch the sunset. And at night you can you lie in bed and watch the Cape George lighthouse, the Celtic twilight, and the constellations overhead.
As our guests have said, it truly is a magical place. And you’re only ten minutes from Cape Breton with its famed Cabot Trail, Celtic music, whale watching, and Gampo Abbey; twenty-five minutes from the university town of Antigonish; and just a few miles away from the village of Havre Boucher where you can buy fresh lobster (in season) right off the boat.
And should you want more space--orless-–we also offer a separate, private, charming studio cottage ($150 a night or $750-$900 a week/low-high season)with gorgeous water views, warm pine paneling, a skylit open-truss ceiling, a glass-front woodburning stove, original art, and unique furnishings like the red-leather round table and the hand-made birch four-poster bed. The cheerful bathroom has a blue glass-tile counter and a hand-painted ceramic sink. The kitchen has rustic wooden counters and open shelving. There’s also a large two-level deck with Adirondack chairs and a picnic table for dining outside.
Whether you stay in the Villa or the cottage--or both--we know you'll have a vacation you won't forget.
