Welcome to 2716 West Side Middle River Road, an extraordinary 100-acre Cape Breton estate where historic charm meets modern luxury. Surrounded by rolling mountain views, mature forests, and complete privacy, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom homestead offers a lifestyle that is both peaceful and inspiring. Originally built in 1908, the home has been extensively updated between 2024 and 2026, preserving its character while incorporating the comforts and efficiency of modern living. The striking exterior features black steel siding, added insulation, a vibrant blue steel roof, and new Polytech windows throughout. Inside, exposed wood beams and warm finishes create an inviting atmosphere, while the updated country kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a large island serves as the heart of the home. The dining area is anchored by a Napoleon wood stove, and the beautifully renovated bathrooms include a luxurious walk-in tiled shower. A fully screened three-season porch provides the perfect place to relax and take in the breathtaking surroundings. Major upgrades include a ducted Napoleon heat pump system, heat pump water heater, updated 200-amp electrical service with Generlink, security system, water filtration system, and an insulated basement, offering exceptional comfort and peace of mind. Outside, the expansive property includes a 20x24 steel barn, 12x24 woodshed/workshop, garden shed, and endless opportunities for recreation, hobby farming, or simply enjoying nature. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, acreage, character, and modern upgrades in such a spectacular Cape Breton setting. This is more than a home. It is a lifestyle.
