Discover this jaw-dropping and meticulously designed South Shore oceanfront oasis! Renowned architect Michael Grunsky created this magnificent one-of-a-kind residence for those seeking an extraordinary lifestyle. Nestled on 12+ acres and 656' of shoreline, this property boasts striking 180 degree southwestern views of bold ocean vistas, rocky coastline, uninhabited islands, inlets and stunning sunsets over the Atlantic. The main floor was carefully curated to blend perfectly with the outdoors. The great room impresses with floor to ceiling windows that seamlessly flow to the light filled dining room and spacious chef's kitchen. Next to a charming sitting room with wood burning fireplace, the spectacular primary suite, with a luxurious ensuite and large walk-in closet, opens to a private waterfront deck, enabling spacious one level living. The great room and the dining room both open to an awe-inspiring ocean view deck and large stone patio featuring an exterior fireplace, ideal for entertaining. The garden level includes a media room (possible bunk room) potential wine or hobby room, full bath, three oceanfront guest bedrooms, (one currently used as a Study), one with an elegant ensuite, and a tremendous amount of storage space. Filled with custom features, no detail was overlooked including 4 wood burning fireplaces, high ceilings, extensive built-ins, exquisite stone and millwork and walls of windows in all the waterfront rooms. This home is located at The Pointe, a private enclave of fine custom-built homes featuring 25 acres of common land and coastal trails for hiking. Perfectly nestled on the South Shore between Chester and Hubbards and 5 minutes from Bayswater Beach, the area offers seasonal farmers' markets, Yacht Club, Golf Club, full-service marinas, Art Centre, Playhouse, quaint shops, cafes and more. Only 40 minutes from Halifax and an hour from Stanfield International Airport. This property is exempt from the Federal Ban on Foreign Buyers.
