71 Hell Point Rd, Kingsburg, Nova Scotia B0J 2X0

Saddling a drumlin hilltop, Brian MacKay-Lyons masterwork “Hill House” is as much a building as landscape. Built twenty years ago, it frames 360-degree views of the natural surroundings. Stunning Hirtles Beach and Gaff Point sunsets to the west and distant Cross Island to the east. The open ocean vistas from Hell Point’s hilltop vantage point are all encompassing. Conceived to complement the curvature of the hill, two mono pitch roofs are knitted in on a north south axis. Hill House has received three top architectural awards; the North American Wood Design Award, the Architectural Houses Award, and the Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor’s Medal of Excellence. Positioned to receive passive solar energy from the first rays at sunrise to the evening sunsets, the location’s 19.75 acres, with 10 acres fully fenced in, allows for ultimate privacy and recreation. The exterior sheltered microclimate courtyard and patios transition seamlessly to two symmetrical structures comprising 2,750 square feet of interior space plus an additional 485 square foot workshop/barn/garage. Depending on the configuration of the interior spaces, the property could be a three-to-five-bedroom facility plus an additional sleeping loft. Special attention has been given to the structural materials; soapstone countertops, hemlock ceilings, custom maple cabinetry, steel supports, standing seam metal roof, eastern cedar shingles, and polished concrete flooring. Additional components such as the STUV fireplaces, Miele/Sub Zero panel matching appliances, recessed lighting and underground power service are all upgrades in keeping with the high-profile standard. The minimalist open concept plan of the kitchen, dining and living space is a luxurious and practical layout with an adjacent bedroom, library, full bathroom, and laundry facility. Downstairs, a den, media room, additional full bathroom, wet bar, and a walk-in pantry complete the main home.
