49 Read Barachois Road — Tarbotvale, Nova Scotia

Looking for a rare slice of Cape Breton's rugged beauty? Welcome to Rear Barachois Road, the heart of the Tarbotvale area! Lovingly brought back to life under current ownership, this character-filled home sits on the side of a mountain on a stunning 97-ACRE parcel of old-growth forest. Picture this: morning coffee on the front deck, mountain views stretching out before you, and the gentle sound of the Barachois River moving in the distance. Sound like a dream? It's real! Just steps away you'll find the Rear Barachois River, the breathtaking Barachois River Gorge, a trail system, AND a fabulous swimming hole. Perfect for cooling off on warm summer days or casting a line. Step inside through a sun-drenched sunroom with windows framing that incredible view. The main floor offers a primary bedroom with 4pc ensuite, a living room overlooking the mountains, a cozy den with wood stove, and a beautifully renovated kitchen at the back complete with skylights and forest views. A 4pc bath with laundry sits off the rec room, and a handy storage room off the kitchen is ready to become your dream mudroom/porch. Upstairs? Three more bedrooms, a 2pc bath, warm wood ceilings, and brand new flooring throughout. The list of upgrades is impressive: NEW septic system, all new plumbing, new breaker panel, fully renovated bathrooms, some new windows, and new roofing shingles on most of the roof. Outside, the front yard has been cleared and cleaned (just waiting for the grass to grow in!), a freshly installed gravel driveway, and partial fencing. Heated comfortably with electric baseboards and the charm of a wood stove. Enjoy a gravity-fed water supply providing fresh, abundant water and a maintained year-round road right to your door. Only 35 minutes from the village of Baddeck or 40 minutes to Ingonish, this is your chance to own a large, peaceful, and truly special piece of Cape Breton countryside. Come to see it for yourself!
