Description
AN OLD BARN RISES AGAIN! -- Local lore has it that this property belonged to a former Rum Runner. His house has long since disappeared but the sturdy old barn remained for generations as a hillside landmark keeping watch over the boat traffic heading in & out of Mahone Bay harbour. This masterpiece of contemporary design & quality construction is a nod to that original structure. The sleek lines of modern architect Nicolas Fudge not only pay homage to the original barn's form, but assimilate seamlessly into the natural setting & pristine pastureland. The original posts & beams of the large barn were repurposed & integrated into the finishes of the new residence, adding contrast & texture to the minimalist design -- indeed, these hand-crafted & time worn timbers are central to the aesthetic giving this very modern home an old soul. The Great Room's awe-inspiring cathedral ceiling soars 26 ft to its peak and competes for your attention with water views framed by floor to ceiling windows. A large deck wraps around the home with multiple sets of patio doors enabling an effortless flow from indoors to out...marvelous for entertaining! A luxurious main floor Primary suite enjoys the same amazing views, with an ancient apple tree as a vestige of the land's agrarian past. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms & another full bath, along with a spacious landing with an entire glass wall to observe the picturesque cove. The walk-out lower level is available for development into additional living or guest space if needed, with a 4th Bedroom already roughed-in w/ ensuite bath & walk-in. An expansive open area on the lower level offers potential for a fabulous rec room w/ plumbing roughed-in for another bathroom. A weathered but serviceable shed is a delightful reminder of the old farm and with a little work could serve a variety of uses. This extraordinary property on 6+ acres enjoys a sought-after location on the scenic Lighthouse Route between Mahone Bay & Lunenburg, just an hour from HRM.
