Property Description
Commanding a naturally elevated setting on the Approaches to Halifax Harbour, this exceptional coastal estate offers a rare vantage point where open ocean views meet one of Canada’s most iconic harbours. Located within The Breakers, an upscale coastal community in Halibut Bay, this property offers remarkable privacy, mature gardens, and a home defined by quality, scale, and careful design. The setting feels private and quietly dramatic, with landscaped grounds, ocean views, and a sense of arrival that unfolds as you move through the property. Inside, the home offers over 6,000 square feet of refined living space that balances everyday living with effortless entertaining . A main-floor primary suite allows for one-level living, while a second primary suite occupies the upper level, creating a private retreat for owners or guests. The principal rooms are generous and layered, with high-end finishes, thoughtful architectural details, and a collected sensibility that gives the home warmth and character. Outdoor spaces are equally considered, including a covered terrace for morning coffee and a walkout ocean-view patio from the lower level. This lower level includes a temperature-controlled wine cellar and two additional bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, offering privacy for family and visitors. For buyers seeking a private coastal retreat with uncompromising quality, this is a property with substance, presence, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to replicate. An adjacent parcel is also available for purchase for those who wish to expand the estate or preserve additional privacy.
