Located at the end of Big Harbour Island Road on the UNESCO-designated biosphere of BRAS D'OR LAKE this unique, newly constructed custom home offers the perfect year-round residence or seasonal getaway. Set on nearly 10 acres of cleared land and mixed forest, this modern sanctuary provides ultimate privacy with no immediate neighbors or noise from power boats. Designed for complete accessibility, this single-level home features generously sized bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and a magnificent great room with a wall of windows leading to a sun-filled deck. Every detail, from energy-efficient appliances to renewable materials, has been thoughtfully chosen to minimize environmental impact without sacrificing luxury. The exterior is clad in thermally treated wood that can age naturally or be stained to your preference. Heating is provided primarily through in-floor heating, complemented by the warmth of south-facing windows to offer maximum efficiency. The property boasts 590 feet of shoreline, a private pond, and trails through the mixed forest. Additionally, residents have access to a private beach shared with the homeowners community. The original homestead remains and presently used for storage. Whether you enjoy kayaking, hiking, stargazing or simply relaxing in nature, this property offers endless outdoor activities to its new owners or investor looking for a top-tier rental property. There is a dug well which is presently in use, plus a new drilled well. There is also a new wood stove. Both can be hooked up at the buyer's discretion
