Description:
Craigellachie is Pointe au Baril's oldest remaining cottage and embodies every bit of charm that comes with such a title. Also referred to as McIntosh Island, this fixture of Pointe au Baril history was originally settled as a fishing outpost to house men and supplies. It's enticing setting quickly transformed its purpose into a summer cottage that has been enjoyed as such for over a century.
The current owner has spent over three decades restoring the 6 bedroom historic main cottage, 3 bedroom "Annex" guest cottage and "Store" with careful attention to preserving the integrity of the original structures . All three buildings have their own kitchens, living rooms and fireplaces making it a perfect property for two families or a multi-generational family compound.
The island itself is 1.61 acres and boasts both open water views and a sheltered harbour for boats, swimming and getting out of the elements. It offers a good mix of exposed granite, undulating topography and attractive tree cover.
It is a rare opportunity for a family compound rich in character like this to trade hands.
