Narrows Point: Land Details

There is something about a point of land that is attractive and comforting to those of us interested in land. Maybe it is the feeling of controlling your surroundings; a moat, if you will. An island has that comfortable feeling but has its disadvantages as well - almost too isolated and access to modern amenities can be very difficult. A point of land is the perfect balance, almost a moat, but with the benefit of everyday conveniences. Little Narrows Point has the moat but still has easy access to municipal water (the water line actually crosses the property) and we have built a road into the property.

And that is not all. The property has many great features! It is:

- A short ferry ride away. The Little Narrows ferry - a 24 hour-a-day, 365 days a year government-operated ferry - provides access across Little Narrows Channel. Located a couple of kilometres from the Trans Canada Highway #105, the Little Narrows ferry is a scenic, welcome, five-minute break from driving. Your point of land is one minute from the ferry landing.

- A significant piece of real estate - large enough for a resort, condo development, family estate or just keep it and watch it increase in value.

- A water lover's dream with over 3,000 feet of Bras d'Or Lake shore frontage on Little Narrows Channel and Ross Cove. And with water depths of 45 feet, you will have no problem getting your yacht to your property (you can even take it to Bermuda in the winter). If your boat is a bit smaller you might want to take it across the channel and into Denas Pond - a well known fishing hole with some of the clearest and cleanest water you will ever see - trout for dinner.

- A quick trip from all the restaurants, shopping, services and many amenities of Baddeck (30-minute drive including the five-minute ferry crossing). The property is also within an hour of numerous shopping, golfing, hiking and cultural activities.

- A simply beautiful and scenic spot - from the west watch the ferry and a church on the north side of the channel; from the north, there's spectacular mountain views particularly during the fall foliage; from the east, there's a long view down St. Patrick's Channel towards Baddeck and the Great Bras d'Or; and from the south, Ross Cove stretches along the point providing a great sheltered cove for kayaking, canoeing, or just lying in the rowboat with a fishing line over the side.

- A bald-headed eagle's paradise. There is not a lot of tide at Little Narrows (being at the upper reaches of the Bras d'Or Lakes) but tidal waters squeezing through this narrow channel heading for Whycocomagh Bay and coming back out of the bay at low tide makes for active water and active fishing for the eagles. Bald-headed eagles are plentiful along the shores of the Bras D'Or Lakes and the Little Narrows Channel is a favorite fishing spot for them.
