A truly dramatic oceanfront setting on a rock face precipice with unbelievable crashing surf and swells. This south facing sun filled custom home is perched fifty feet in elevation, on 3.1 acres with 190 feet of frontage. Architecturally built as an open concept space to highlight the coastline, there is 4,500 square feet of living space plus an additional 1,122 square feet three bay garage and workshop. The owners have worked on and enlarged this fourteen-year-old property for three years raising the quality of workmanship to an unparalleled level of utility, sophistication, and beauty.
Entering the main foyer, eyes are of course drawn to the panoramic seascape. Accentuating the views are a host of interior design features; vaulted ceilings, hickory beams, 18 step circular staircase, oak and slate flooring, oak trim and custom cabinetry in the living room. The living room and the sunroom on the western flank each have wood burning fireplaces (floor to ceiling granite in the sunroom). The sunroom has direct access to the sunken waterside hot tub and outdoor granite fire pit. Soapstone countertops, built in cabinetry, and new Bosch appliances including a gas range adorn the kitchen. Convenience was top of mind with the adjacent pantry with double sink. The oversized laundry room with dog washing station is a well-planned location for the side entrance.
Gorgeous custom oak built in cabinetry are in place in the master bedroom. A three-piece bathroom and four-piece ensuite (with steam room) ensure ease and luxurious lifestyle. Tucked by the circular lookout landing is an office space as well as the entrance to the third-floor lookout tower. The expression “takes your breath away” applies here! Additionally, a four-foot full basement, accessible through a hatch in the mudroom, runs the full length of the house.
Above the garage is a beautiful studio loft. An open concept kitchen/living room has a panoramic ocean setting. Features include a natural stone fireplace, fourteen-foot-high ceilings, eight-foot-high doors, stained hemlock beams, quartz countertops, wall hung toilet – heated air dry, two staircase entrances, a heat pump and Nest thermostat. A fitness studio with an outdoor shower is in place for an invigorating workout experience. Below, the three-car garage and workshop has an electric car charging station, ducted heat pump and two 8 x 9 ft. plus one 8.5 x 12 ft. garage doors.
Some of the property features really push the limits of technology in terms of power consumption; a new Solar field with 17500 kilowatts of power (with a Home Sense monitoring application so you can monitor energy output), a new ETS system ensuring low power bills, radiant in floor multi zoned heating, and two 200-amp electrical services.
The outdoor spaces are equally decadent; covered verandah, portico and grape vines grow in the quaint 11 X 20-foot greenhouse with adjacent fenced in garden. Whales and a multitude of sea life is on display from the deck. Fishing boats and the famous Bluenose sail by frequently. Duradeck and composite decking materials have been applied with the direct sea elements in mind.
Included in the sale is a forty-foot storage sea container. Some furnishings and the Sonos system is negotiable.
Minutes from Hirtles, Kingsburg and Sand Dollar beaches, Rose Bay General Store and Bistro, Ovens Natural Park, and the LaHave River Cable Ferry. Gaff Point hiking trail (with the secret beach) is a fantastic walking day excursion. Fifteen minutes from the great restaurants, galleries, music, art and Victorian charms of Old Town Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ninety minutes from the Halifax International Airport.
