Come home to the beauty and tranquility of the Bras d’Or Lake in Big Pond, Cape Breton Island - the birthplace of beloved Cape Breton singer Rita MacNeil. Set on 5.7 acres of waterfront, this spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom bungalow offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, quality craftsmanship, and year-round enjoyment. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of the stone fireplace creates an inviting atmosphere, while the open-concept living area showcases breathtaking views of the Bras d’Or Lake. The thoughtfully designed layout provides plenty of space for family and guests, with high-end appliances and quality finishes throughout. The spacious primary bedroom offers a luxurious retreat, complete with a 5-piece ensuite featuring a relaxing jet tub. Step outside to enjoy the expansive deck & patio, a fenced-in backyard, and your own dock on the lake. With a walk-out shoreline, the property is perfectly suited for swimming, kayaking, boating, and enjoying everything the lake has to offer. This exceptional location puts year-round recreation and dining within easy reach. The Lakes Golf Club and Yacht Club, where seasonal dining is available, are just 15 minutes away. The marina in Ben Eoin provides convenient access to boating and water sports, while Ski Ben Eoin is nearby for winter adventures. Despite its peaceful waterfront setting, the property is less than 30 minutes from Sydney and under an hour from the airport, making it an ideal year-round home, vacation retreat, or waterfront getaway. Experience the best of Cape Breton living, where spacious living, waterfront recreation, and the natural beauty of Bras d’Or Lake come together in one extraordinary property.
