About Gillis Point Road

Alexander Graham Bell once stated, “I have travelled the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes and the Alps and the highlands of Scotland, but for simply beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.” A sentiment also expressed by his great grandson, Gilbert Grosvenor reflection on Maskills: "That harbour is probably my favourite harbour on the entire planet, and I've cruised a lot of them," he said. "It is the most emotional piece of real estate that I know of." part of 1000's of years of serenity, safety, and sustenance for folk who found themselves in this sheltered oasis. Grosvenor has likened it to a "Cathedral" and it is obvious that those who interact with this environment practice environmental stewardship. It is hard to convey in words how this landscape evokes a deep and immediate emotional connection. It cannot be denied that Maskills Harbour is special and I would dare to say, sacred. This is an overused word in real estate but I promise you this is a "rare" opportunity to become the new owners of this acreage on the Harbour.
