Here is the opportunity to own an extraordinary grand estate with stunning views of Mahone Bay Islands (Saddle, Graves, Mountain and Tancook) and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The land elevation of the main house provides towering south easterly views, and the boathouse has incredible water scenery at ocean level with 170 feet of beach water frontage and an L shaped wharf for protected anchorage. On three PID’s, there are 3.9 acres sloping gently down to the oceanfront. An additional neighbouring 4 acres with 150 feet of frontage and an additional wharf could also be part of the sale. 

The elegant 9,500 SF four-year-old wood shingled masterpiece is structurally completed by renowned designer Philip Mitchell. Once the interiors are in place, the home will have the casual sophisticated elegance and comforts of modern living. With ample room for family and guests, it is a perfect place to privately relax, entertain or work from home. The additional boathouse residence could be a great onsite position for the owner while the project is in process.

This home will be unlike any other. Almost 4 acres of lush lawns, gardens, and terraces ready to be groomed to your specific tastes. Built to appreciate the waterfront and designed for the view, the result is a Nantucket inspired shingle style aesthetic, luxurious and grand in scale. In totality, the property has six bedrooms, including a loft bedroom in the boathouse. Convenience was top of mind with six full bathrooms including three ensuites, and an additional powder room.

High end materials were in mind with cedar shingle roofing, double hung custom Marvin Windows, copper detailing, four indoor and four outdoor wood burning brick fireplaces, air exchange and in floor radiant heating. With Philip Mitchell as your designer to complete the project, picture wide plank floors, beadboard, paneling, moldings, hand carved staircase banisters, marble stonework, custom cabinetry, shiplap boards and more. Once completed, the expert craftsmanship and hand-crafted finish work will be evident throughout.

Entering the home on the main level, the great room sets the stage for a lavish lifestyle. To the left is a substantial kitchen and servery. The true chef's kitchen can serve as its own entertainment space. Create a luxurious kitchen with emphasis on entertaining and socializing. Some options may be custom Bellini cabinetry, marble/soapstone island and counters with farm sinks, a five burner Wolf gas range, Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer, Miele wall ovens, dishwasher, and a warming drawer.  Adjacent to the kitchen is a breakfast room with a bay window and covered porch. The view on the water side has an indoor-outdoor fireplace, so everyone will enjoy being toasty warm.

An additional ground floor guest bedroom with four-piece ensuite bathroom looks southeast down the hill with sweeping views of the ocean. A powder room laundry and intimate den/study with outdoor access is a perfectly situated spot for business meetings or curling up with a book. A fully enclosed screened-in porch adorns the eastern end. A thoughtfully designed layout with direct access to (an intended) main level deck and pool.

The southern wing of the second level has three bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and another five-piece shared bathroom. A central den/family room/lounge with fireplace and rooftop deck are a perfect space for family gatherings. 

A luxurious vaulted ceiling principal bedroom suite has direct access to the expansive private roof deck with strategically situated awe-inspiring views. It is complemented with an indoor-outdoor fireplace. The ensuite five-piece bathroom features a bay window bathtub, toilet enclosure, and a room sized dressing room.

The lower-level configuration has all the bells and whistles; a movie theatre, exercise room, four-piece bathroom, steam room, mud room and storage.

Additional structures included are a 1000 sq. ft. greenhouse, single car garage, outdoor pool, massive oceanside deck, and wharf with enough depth to dock a large yacht! An oceanside boathouse with a Great room, kitchen, bathroom, and loft bedroom completes this extraordinary property.

Complementing the thoughtfully designed layout will be a plan for exquisitely crafted detail work and finishes such as mosaic marble tile, Nova Scotia pine panels, Waterworks plumbing fixtures, and a variety of high-end materials. This can proceed through Philip Mitchell’s expertise and advice if you choose. 

While beautiful and serene, this impeccably built home is also ideally suited for those that wish to live within close proximity to all that the village of Chester has to offer including fine art at the Captain’s House, dockside seafood chowder at the Rope Loft, latte’s at the Kiwi Café, fine dining at the Sunroom, sailing at the Chester Yacht Club, tall tales at the Fo’c’sle Tavern and sports at the Chester Tennis & Golf Clubs.

The three PID's are all subject to subdivision changes which will allow a direct driveway access to the house, without any easements or ROW's from Chester Shore Road. The reworking of the property lines will be established before the closing date and will be paid for by the seller. A drawing of the approximate boundaries can be proprived to the potential buyers by request.
