    What's special

    Escape to the peace and beauty of Cape Breton with this charming 12-year-old log cabin nestled on 2.3 surveyed acres with an impressive 300 feet of river frontage on the scenic River Denys. Whether you're searching for a year-round home or the perfect cottage retreat, this handcrafted natural log cabin offers warmth, comfort, and endless possibilities in a truly breathtaking setting. Built on a pier-form foundation designed to allow air circulation around the logs, this well-constructed cabin also features engineered roof trusses for lasting durability. Inside, you’ll find approximately 1,100 square feet of inviting living space filled with natural light and rustic charm. The open-concept main floor offers a welcoming kitchen and living area with vaulted ceilings and stunning river views, creating a bright and airy atmosphere ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Also on the main level is a spacious primary bedroom and a convenient 3-piece bath with laundry area. Upstairs, the loft provides additional flexible living space with a bedroom and den area—perfect for guests, a home office, or a cozy reading nook overlooking the main living space below. Comfortable in every season with baseboard electric heat, the cabin is also equipped to draw water from the river and has power installed down by the river, making it ideal for enjoying the waterfront lifestyle to the fullest. Launch a canoe or kayak right from your property and follow the River Denys as it flows directly into the world-renowned Bras d'Or Lakes, opening the door to endless boating and water adventures. Surrounded by natural beauty and located just a short drive to Whycocomagh, this peaceful retreat offers the best of East Coast living with nearby opportunities for hiking, paddling, and exploring the great outdoors. With its beautiful craftsmanship, tranquil setting, and exceptional value, this riverfront gem is your chance to own a slice of Cape Breton paradise.
