Log Home with Gorgeous Ocean View in Historic Acadian Village

L'Ardoise and surrounding villages have wild berries for the enthusiastic picker - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, dewberries - even cranberries and foxberries. Free clam digging is available within fourteen miles, and copious oysters on a tide beach within five miles. Concerts and Ceilidhs are available in many locations throughout Cape Breton, some featuring the unique brand of Cape Breton fiddle music. Fortress Louisbourg is a world class historic re-enactment of a French Acadian fortress town. The views from the Cabot Trail I believe are world class, and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck is a main attraction. The best ocean wildlife tour is the trip to the Bird Islands, where there are birds from Eagles on down, and seals. The beach in L'Ardoise, in the hamlet of Point Michaud, six miles from us, is 1.5 miles long, advertised as world class in quality. Fishing from shore for mackerel is available in the 300 meter canal connecting the Atlantic with the Bras d'Or Lakes, about 7 miles from our house. wild speckled (brook) trout live in every stream and pond. There is a marina in St. Peters, about 8 miles from our house.

The ocean view at our house is about 120 degrees from West to East. The West half of the view is Chedabuctu Bay. The lights of mainland Nova Scotia can be seen on a clear night. The East half is open ocean until you get to Bermuda. On a clear night, the sky is good for stargazing.

We have a ping pong table.
