If you've ever dreamed of owning a waterfront property, there is a house for sale in Nova Scotia that's right on a lake and it costs less than $500,000!

This lakefront home located on Big Harbour Island is on almost 10 acres of land and surrounded by a forest so it's secluded.

It's an 891-square-foot house with three bedrooms and one bedroom.

Described as a private waterfront getaway on Cape Breton Island's Bras d'Or Lake, it's listed on the market for $425,000.

The open-concept living space — which includes the kitchen, living room and dining room — has a vintage-style woodstove and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the lake and access to the outdoor space.

The backyard of this home slopes down toward the lake and a tree-lined path takes you right to the water where you have around 300 feet of waterfront!

Also, the house is part of the Fiddlehead Road Association which means you get access to common elements and beaches along with a gated entrance for privacy.
