Welcome to a truly extraordinary waterfront retreat in Cape Breton Nova Scotia, one of the world’s best island destinations as listed by international travel publications. Nestled below the indigo hills in Dundee and overlooking the pristine waters of the Bras d’Or Lake, the world’s largest inland saltwater fjord, this almost 3 acre estate enjoys 500 feet of shoreline, boasting a private pier and beach ideal for launching watercraft and with sheltered deep-water access ideal to moor a sailboat. Lying directly below the renowned Dundee Golf Course, this custom contemporary home is deceptively modest from the curb: a cedar bungalow with turret linked to a detached garage by a paved circular driveway and landscaped gardens. What you don’t see from the road is the architectural marvel that unfolds as you move around the house down to the shoreline—three levels of glass embracing the lake views, integrated into the landscape like a ship built into the hillside. The main floor features a large guest suite and open concept living spaces including a striking kitchen, living room with wood-burning fireplace, dining room and a large deck. Lower levels include a primary suite, three further bedrooms and a combined games room and gym with walk-out access to the saltwater inground pool and the beach. The hurricane-rated solarium windows bring the outdoors in, allowing you to watch storms roll overhead, count the stars at night, and enjoy the ever-changing magic of the Bras D’Or. The 360 degree views take full advantage of the natural beauty of the Bras d’Or in every season, from sunrises over the nearby Dundee Resort to spectacular sunsets across the lake, completing the resort-like experience. The detached garage features a generous workshop, two full parking bays and a long bay for a fishing boat. A separate rustic log cabin on the beach can be used for guests or as a private retreat. The entire property is within a sheltered microclimate created by the surrounding mountains, offering four distinct and beautiful seasons. Built by the family of Rod Bryden, a prominent Canadian entrepreneur and former owner of the Ottawa Senators, this property is a rare and elegant coastal haven in one of Nova Scotia’s most coveted locations.
Highlights:
Private pier and beach with deep-water access
