Description

Some homes impress with their size. Others captivate with their setting. This extraordinary oceanfront estate does both — delivering a sense of seclusion that feels worlds away, yet sits just 20 minutes from Halifax. A custom 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence on 2.26 acres set along Nova Scotia’s rugged coastline with 163’ of private ocean frontage, 458 Ketch Harbour Rd greets the sunrise over the Atlantic each morning. Inside, vaulted ceilings elevate the impressive great room with walls of glass that frame the sea and open to the extensive outdoor living space. A propane fireplace creates a warm focal point, inviting family and friends to gather while the seascape provides a breathtaking backdrop. The modern gourmet kitchen is built to entertain: an oversized island, stone countertops, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, apron-front sink, and a full butler’s pantry with side-by-side fridge and freezer. Designed for effortless one-level living, the main level primary suite feels more like a luxury resort. You’ll love waking to ocean views, enjoying your very own spacious walk-in closet, and unwinding in the exquisite ensuite featuring heated floors, a jetted tub, and custom tile shower. Downstairs, the walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility. Additional bedrooms, a dedicated gym, a generous family room with propane fireplace, multiple storage areas, and the potential for an in-law suite make it ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or growing families. Comfort and peace of mind are built in, with dual ducted heat pumps and an automatic whole-home generator. An attached triple-car garage and extensive outdoor living space complete the offering. Crystal Crescent Beach and the Duncan's Cove trails put some of Nova Scotia's most spectacular coastline at your doorstep — but the finest view is the one you come home to. This is a private sanctuary above the Atlantic, and a rare opportunity to embrace East Coast living at its best.
