Waterfront Retreat Just Minutes from Inverness & Cabot Links Create the waterfront getaway you've always imagined on the shores of beautiful West Lake Ainslie, only approximately 11 minutes from Inverness. Home to the world-famous Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs Golf Courses, a spectacular white sandy beach, award-winning restaurants, brewery, farmers' market, and all essential amenities, Inverness has become one of Cape Breton's premier destinations. Perfectly positioned just a short drive from the Cabot Trail, this property is an ideal base for golfers, boaters, anglers, hikers, and nature lovers. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, vacation retreat, or investment property, the location offers endless possibilities. The property is ready for your dream build with a driveway, septic system, dug well, and private boat launch already in place. A storage shed and stationary camper are included, allowing you to enjoy weekends on the lake while planning your future home. If the waterfront property isn't enough, an additional 33-acre parcel directly across the road is also available for $99,000 (PID 50189604). This elevated property offers beautiful lake views and is ideal for hiking trails, a private cabin, recreational use, tourist accommodation, or a second residence.
