About 2421 Big Island Road
Welcome to 2421 Big Island Road, a private country retreat set on 4.3 acres in Lower Barneys River. Tucked back from the road and surrounded by trees, open yard space, and peaceful natural surroundings with eight apple trees, this property offers a true cabin-style lifestyle while still being within reach of nearby beaches, coastal areas, Merigomish, and New Glasgow. The home is full of rustic charm, with log accents, exposed beams, warm wood finishes, a cozy WETT-certified wood stove, and inviting living spaces throughout. Since purchasing, the seller has completed several meaningful improvements, including a 2025 steel roof on the main house, updated PEX plumbing, a new pressure tank, newer appliances, 200 amp electrical service, an operational well, inspected septic system, and a fully painted exterior. With trails created through the woods and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy, this property offers privacy, character, and a setting that is hard to duplicate.
