Rustic Cottage Retreat on 8 Island Lake, Guysborough County Escape to your own slice of lake front paradise on 8 Island Lake with this 1.36-acre cleared lot featuring stunning west-facing views and unforgettable sunsets. Surrounded by nature and abundant wildlife, this property is a dream for anglers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The insulated cottage offers solid construction and cozy comfort, with a wood stove for heat and 100-amp power already in place. It's fully plumbed with a kitchen and bathroom, with an existing (unverified) septic system and outhouse on site — giving you a great head start for future upgrades. While no well has ever been attempted, the property holds great potential for those looking to make it their seasonal escape or off-grid haven. Mature fruit trees dot the landscape, and two large sheds provide ample storage for gear and tools. Whether you're casting a line, watching the deer pass through, or simply soaking in the quiet and calm of lakeside life, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic Nova Scotia wilderness.
