Babins Lake, Arichat, NS

About Babins Lake

On the Southwestern tip of Cape Breton Island, you will find a charming little Island retreat called Isle Madame. On this beautiful little Island, you will discover some of Nova Scotia's best places for kayaking, fishing, hunting, surfing, hiking, ATV and bike riding in the rough or on groomed trails, plus comfortable inns, bed and breakfasts, charming restaurants and cafés, fish markets and spectacular seaside views from just about everywhere. You will also discover beaches, lighthouses and other amazing sights wherever you go. This hidden gem is where Acadian culture lives on through song, music, dance and crafts. You can own a small piece of this island paradise at a very affordable price. This property takes in approximately 12.5 acres of vacant land beginning on the north shore of Babin’s Lake and running north to lands owned by the Municipality of the County of Richmond. This property has approximately 100 feet of lakefront where you will experience an abundance of undisturbed natural beauty. You are also a short walk to the ocean where you can enjoy the calm waters in sheltered coves or choppy waters and rugged coastlines in less sheltered areas. This property is ideal for a cottage or camp. Note: There is a parcel of land between this property and the north shore of the lake that the Municipality claims they expropriated for the water intake infrastructure supplying drinking water to the residents of Arichat. The Municipality has never legally expropriated this land. The Land Registration office is not able to explain how the Municipality obtained title without going through a legal expropriation process or obtaining a deed from the legal landowners. It is our position that the Municipality does not have clear title to this property. This land carve-out does not prevent access to the lake but may present some restrictions for landowners. On the positive side, this carve-out does provide better access to the property.
