About this property

Comraich Iolaire/Eagle Sanctuary--gorgeous view St. Ann's Bay on Cabot Trail

This gorgeous chalet home has three bedrooms including a master loft bedroom with master bath on the second floor.

The master bath has a shower with three different heads and six settings in addition to a claw-foot tub. The bathroom on the first floor has been completely renovated and includes a mosaic shower floor depicting an eagle in flight that was created by one of your two hosts. In addition, a new heat pump with AC is installed in the master loft.

There are two bedrooms on the first floor along with a beautiful new bathroom. The entire front wall is glass, which makes for a spectacular view of the water, St. Ann's Bay, and Jersey Cove, You will see all sorts of water birds including osprey, the occasional seal. There is a new eagles' next about 400 M from the driveway, and two young eagles continue to fly around the Jersey Cove Rd. There is outdoor art from Iron Art Studios, and eagles fly over the eagle sculpture to fish in the bay. Comraich Iolaire is Gaelic for eagle sanctuary.

The kitchen includes a new glass-top stope and new dishwasher in addition to a new kitchen faucet. Please enjoy the new amenities and take care of them as if they were your own. The home is in the heart of St. Ann's Bay, at the beginning of the Cabot Trail and just 25 minutes by Baddeck.

This house has everything you need whether it's for a couple of nights or a couple of weeks. The kitchen is fully loaded, and there are several good restaurants within a 30-minute drive. Wake up early or late and watch the tides flow in and out of the bay. Take out the hammock, string it up, and enjoy a peaceful morning or afternoon rocking to the ocean breeze.

The front great room is full of original art, most of which has been collected from Cape Breton artists. There is also original art in the master loft as well as mosaic night stands. Each bathroom contains steel towel racks designed and cut from a sheet of steel by Cynthia, one of your hosts.

The house inspires peace, calm, and renewal.

The house is located at the beginning of the Cabot Trail and is 10Km away from some of the best crafts people and artists on the trail. In addition, it is in the center of the island and is a great launching pad no matter where you want to go on Cape Breton.

The property is registered with Nova Scotia Tourist Accommodations--RYA-2023-24-04051244177415938-384.
