Property Description
Set in the heart of Ingonish Beach, this established Bed & Breakfast offers an opportunity to step into a business in one of Cape Breton’s most sought-after destinations. Overlooking Freshwater Lake with ocean views, the property spans approx 1.4 acres and is perfectly positioned within walking distance to both lake access and Ingonish Beach. The main residence features 10 guest rooms (plus one owner’s ensuite) and 9.5 baths, along with a spacious kitchen with commercial potential, including some existing equipment. At one time, operated as a restaurant, this space presents excellent opportunity for expanded food service, guest dining, or more hospitality offerings. All is thoughtfully configured to accommodate visitors from around the world. Guests are drawn to the expansive covered & upper level deck, ideal for taking in the amazing views. A detached cottage adds further flexibility for additional rental income or private accommodations. The detached workshop, currently used as a woodworking and maintenance space, offers exceptional versatility. This building is partially insulated with strong potential for conversion into one large independent or two separate rental suites. With its location directly along the Cabot Trail and beautiful lake views, this also lends itself to use as a separate commercial venture, having previously operated as a retail space & art studio. A 12x20 storage shed at the rear of the property provides practical space for equipment and seasonal use. Surrounded by key amenities including restaurants, shops, and services, and just minutes from hiking trails, Cape Breton Highlands National Park and Ski Cape Smokey, this location supports strong seasonal demand with clear potential for expanded year-round or new business ideas. Whether you’re seeking a turnkey hospitality investment or a lifestyle change that blends home and business, this Ingonish property offers the foundation to grow, refresh, or reimagine a thriving coastal enterprise.
