Cape Breton Farm With View: Land Details
If you are looking for a remote homestead in Cape Breton this has to be your ideal site.
A spectacular hilltop view of the surrounding Inverness countryside makes for just sitting and enjoying the scene. While in that position you will be tempted by the wild blueberries surrounding you. This field and a couple of other fields, within this 100 acre tract,(see aerial photo) have been in commercial blueberry production since a number of years. A cash crop of lowbush blueberries together with produce from adjoining fields would go a long way towards providing for a comfortable alternative lifestyle.
Solar and wind energy from this elevated, 270 degree view, Cape Breton Highland location could provide for most of your energy requirements. If you need a little additional power there is a power line along the road.
The property is located a distance from neighbors but the road is maintained by the provincial highways department.
This remote and beautiful location within the heart of Cape Breton is the ultimate in those looking for a simpler back to the land experience.
On the 1/10,000 vertical aerial photo the blueberry areas are marked as BB1, BB2 and BB3. BB1 is about 5 acres in size. BB2 is a little over 5 acres in size. BB3 is a little over 1 acre (with room to increase) in size. The area marked "field" is a level field area with no indication of blueberries - it is a nice cleared field. The blueberry fields (BB1, BB2 and BB3) were mowed in the fall of 2011 (crop year in 2013).
