Western Head NS Home for Sale

The "De Vries House", from the renowned architectural firm, MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects, is a 21st century, post-modern home set on a level promontory of 2.7 acres, with 280 feet of direct, bold oceanfront facing south-west. This monolithic, bespoke, premium construction, clad in galvanized metal with 'pickled' channel-joint softwood beneath its cantilevers, is 'aerodynamically poised' against the seascape as if to take flight from the crest of a wave. This home is basked in light and has 160 degree, large ocean views. The overall form is a wedge which rises from its lowest height to the south - where the main-floor kitchen-living area is located - then to the north where the principal bedroom is located on the main floor, and the library and guest room above on the second level. The half wall of the library creates a mezzanine which overlooks a narrow portion of the front foyer and living area, yet the stairwell is enclosed. This clever design lends for visual privacy between the library and main floor, yet allows for a single, dramatic volume of space, braced by iron crossbeams, and dissected by the natural light falling from the skylights in the roof, two full stories to the polished concrete floors at the main level. This creates an impression of openness for both the first and second levels and allows for natural light sources from multiple directions. The expansive corner windows in both the living area and principal bedroom provide broad, unobstructed water views. A tall, narrow window in the shaded end of the library provides a breath-taking perspective onto the shoreline to the north. This home, with its carefully considered angles and clean lines unites both practical and beautiful living spaces, like an intellectual puzzle, to achieve one single, harmonious, architectural statement. Easily accessible and located less than ten minutes from the amenities of Liverpool, this property would make a unique home or ideal retreat for the discerning buyer. (id:55598)

Lunenburg NS Home for Sale

This house is a survivor. Relatively few buildings of the Georgian period have escaped being architecturally 're-invented' by the Victorians. Formerly known as "The McLaughlin House", after Benjamin McLaughlin who lived at the property from 1858 to 1884, it is a short walk to the harborside and the former ship-building yard Benjamin once owned with his brother - a property today known as "Adams and Knickle". The house was commissioned by Charles Rudolf in 1825, likely upon his engagement to Sophia Ernst to whom he was married in 1826. The married couple were to have ten children (one presumes the marriage was a happy one). Most unfortunately, Charles died at the young age of 49 and the house was eventually sold through the Lunenburg Town Sheriff, on behalf of Mr. Rudolf's son, to Benjamin McLaughlin. The house Charles built for his betrothed was an elegant one, a full two and a half story, Georgian townhouse in the Regency Style. It would have had an impressive faade with six-over-six sash windows and an elegant doorway, likely with complex transom above. Much of its former exterior elegance has been lost to time, however, a proud architectural form still stands. The original interior Regency details which remain are remarkable and worthy of restoration to their former beauty. True Georgian houses in Lunenburg are few - with the majority of their period interior details removed to follow the trends of subsequent eras. This is undeniably a renovation project on a large scale, and not for the novice or the faint of heart. The task completed, a house of this pedigree would lend its owner, and the greater community, incalculable rewards for future generations. Please note : entry onto property is by APPOINTMENT ONLY. No entry onto the property prior to booking an appointment with a licensed Realtor and in the company of a licensed Realtor. No exceptions. (id:55598)

The utility room off the foyer provides extra storage and doubles as a laundry facility. The "U" configuration of the kitchen, open to dining, offers ample counter surface and a good working radius.

Port Mouton NS Land for Sale

Carters Beach awaits you. In 1604 Samuel de Champlain moored off Port Mouton. A sheep on deck, after the long journey from France across a vast Atlantic, excited to see land, jumped overboard and swam to shore.

Port Mouton is the fourth of the four communities which lock arms along the shoreline in short succession, travelling west from Liverpool on an old coastal highway: White Point, Hunts Point, Summerville Centre and Port Mouton. Port Mouton ends at Carters Beach which lies adjacent the Seaside Adjunct to Kejimkujik National Park. On Nova Scotia's South Shore, one often speaks of Liverpool's greatest advantage being its close proximity to these four, increasingly popular, summer resorts.

Carters is not much more than a five minute walk from the property we are selling.

Maders Cove NS Home for Sale

Overlooking the waters of Mahone Bay to the rising sun, this settler's cape has stood for more than 200 years, nestled on a hillside below the Great Ridge. Owned by only three families since it was first built, this Georgian house was named "High Tree" after an ancient acacia that once stood at the edge of the knoll. Sailors used this tree as a marker to guide their schooners entering safe harbour. This home has always been well loved and cared for which is evident in the quiet presence it commands on the meandering, coastal highway between Mahone Bay and historic Lunenburg. One enters a sunroom at the rear of the house which leads to a cozy den - small hall with powder room and laundry to the left followed by an old-style country kitchen. The kitchen rests in its original position and still retains its original open dish cupboard and cooking hearth. The parlor and dining room at the front of the house are separated by a gracious front foyer with curving staircase. A new extension, just the other side of the kitchen, offers a large principal-bedroom suite with adjoining bath. This bedroom suite opens to its own covered verandah, a contemplative spot to enjoy the morning coffee as one rests one's eyes over the ocean. The second floor features a central hall with a Scottish dormer looking out to sea and three bedrooms in the eaves which share a bright and cheerful family bath. The larger of the three bedrooms runs from the front of the house to the rear and opens to an upper deck overlooking the rear garden. The house rests on a full, poured-concrete foundation and provides a well-lit workshop area and dry storage - exceptional for a home of this vintage. The house has been thoroughly and sympathetically renovated, sits surrounded by mature gardens and is comprised of more than 11 acres which run over the Great Ridge. The property offers broad views of the bay and is conveniently located just two minutes from town amenities. It has more than 200 feet of oceanfront. (id:55598)

Mahone Bay NS Home for Sale

"Come into the porch and sit a spell." This charming house was amongst numerous, small farmsteads which dotted the outskirts of the seaside village of Mahone Bay before that village became a town and many grander homes grew up around it. The house still retains its covered, front verandah with the gentle curve of its roof and central, front door, with its multi-paned transom and 'side lights'. The simplicity of this humble, historic home is what makes it stand out and slow the pace of the passers-by who admire it. The house has a central-hall plan and retains much of its original period charm including: a beautiful Victorian staircase, softwood-plank floors and 19th century trim-work. The living-room is to the right through a large archway as one enters the front door. To the rear of the house is an open concept, dine-in, country kitchen with windows to the back garden.

The second floor features three bedrooms, with a large central hall with sitting area at the front, and shared family bath with tub and shower at the rear. The original carriage barn - a rarity these days - stands a short distance from the house, is a very manageable size, and would serve the gardener or hobbyist well for years to come. The house, being built to one side of a double-sized lot, begs the imagination of any avid carpenter or heritage gardener to ponder. This home is centrally located on a quiet, solely residential street. It is an easy walking distance to the grocery store, post office, dental and medical clinic, bank, drug store, liquor store and a variety of shops and restaurants. A seaside pub and public wharf is a five-minute walk away. With Halifax and the airport less than one hour's drive, and the ocean nearly at your doorstep, this moderately priced home offers a most enviable lifestyle. (id:55598)
