Overview
Description
Rarely does a property emerge that so perfectly balances architectural pedigree with the rhythmic beauty of Nova Scotia's South Shore. With 504 feet of oceanfront and 17 private acres at the mouth of the LaHave River, this award-winning compound is a recipient of the Governor General's Medal in Architecture and the visionary work of internationally acclaimed architect Brian MacKay-Lyons. The estate is defined by two luminous pavilions with symbolic wall extensions that draw the eye across the natural buffer between them. Bridging the distance through intentional design, the primary pavilion gazes over the tranquil salt marsh, while its counterpart faces the open ocean. A winding wooden boardwalk meanders through the quiet forest, leading to the Spa - a third pavilion tucked peacefully among the trees. Every inch of this compound reflects the skill of local master craftsmen. The aesthetic is one of refined ruggedness, featuring exposed timber frames and locally sourced hemlock that has weathered beautifully to match the coastline. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows dissolve the boundaries between the interior and exterior, while modern amenities and etched concrete floors provide a sleek and contemporary counterpoint to the natural surroundings. The Two Lanterns is not just a home but a sanctuary where life slows down and moves with the flow of the tides. Mornings might begin in the Spa engulfed in the aroma from the red cedar walls, with bi-fold doors giving way to a screened porch and the nature surrounding you. Afternoons are spent at Oxners beach, just a stone’s throw from the property, while evenings settle into the elevated pavilions where western exposure and panoramic views combine to capture beautiful sunsets across the changing LaHave River landscapes. Located on one of the most coveted stretches of shoreline in the Riverport area, you are only a scenic drive away from the world-class dining and cultural heritage of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
