$300,000 Homes on Prince Edward Island

Breadalbane | 425,000 Canadian dollars ($297,000)

A one-bedroom house on nearly four acres

This woodsy one-bedroom cottage, set on nearly four rural acres in the center of Prince Edward Island, was built in 2003. Heated floors, a propane fireplace and sloped ceilings lend a cozy feel, while skylights, a sunroom and a multitude of windows help keep the home bright and airy. The property, called “the Dunk” for the small river that runs behind it, has hosted award-winning musicians, charity concerts and pie-eating contests.

Breadalbane is a municipality in the heart of Prince Edward Island, about midway between Borden-Carleton, the island’s gateway town, and Green Gables Heritage Place, a draw for fans of “Anne of Green Gables,” in Cavendish. Nearby attractions include the Prince Edward Island Maple Syrup Company and a community center in the neighboring village of Emerald with a theater, a banquet space and a restaurant and pub.
Charlottetown Airport is about 20 miles east.
