Quiet 60 acre farmhouse retreat close to beach and under 3 hours from Halifax

Discover the absolute solitude of this Cape Breton Island gem. Kintyre Farm has served as gathering place for family and friends, with easy access to forest and ocean, local adventures and fantastic local arts and crafts. Make it your starting point for the Cabot Trail or stay a week in complete serenity.

With 60 acres of birch, maple and pine woods, fields of berries and wildflowers and a mountain-fed waterfall and stream, you can immerse yourself in a private nature wonderland. This early 1900s solar-powered farmhouse has everything you need to stay anytime of year.

There are four bedrooms (1-king, 2-queen, 3-two singles, 4-one single that can expand into two singles, side-by-side), one full bathroom with a tub, plus a half bath on the main level, a large kitchen that opens into a dining nook, a living room with a sectional leather couch that opens onto a screened-in porch and a deck beyond.

Beautiful Quiet stay!
What an amazing place to stay! Comfortable, rustic and quiet. Had a very nice stay, and absolutely fell in love with the screened in porch. Watched hummingbirds and songbirds fly around all day! Amazing!

Winter stay at Kintyre
Our stay at Kintyre Farm was amazing. It was the perfect spot for our family to stay. The wood stove made it extra cozy, but it also had all the modern amenities. The dogs loved running in the yard as well. We'll be back!

Tucked away
I enjoyed my stay very much but my snobby travel friend , went home after 2 nights of a week trip. After she left I was able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at rural retreat
We had a wonderful stay on the farmhouse property. The owners were helpful and easy to get in touch with and check in was very easy. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed for cooking meals. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch, fire pit, and the beautiful and tranquil property.

Rustic Comfort
A beautiful old home that was well stocked and very comfortable. It is a work in progress but that doesn't detract from the wonderful feeling of being in your own little world but still close to amenities. We loved it!
