Chester – Nova Scotia’s most prestigious and storied village. Welcome to this all-encompassing, multi-generational retreat/estate; an impressive private “end of the road” 19 acres on four PID’s of ocean panorama, looking down from a hilltop on the village of Chester, the back harbour, and the islands of Mahone Bay. With over 6000 square feet of architecturally brilliant living space, and another 1500 feet of storage, spread across three gorgeous structures, step inside to discover generously proportioned principal rooms, soaring ceilings, and an effortless flow ideal for both comfortable family living and large-scale entertaining, along with sweeping views down cascading lawns to the pool and ocean beyond. Anchoring the estate is the ground floor, open kitchen dining area with adjacent living and bunk rooms. The kitchen is a masterfully designed galley arrangement of antique style cabinetry, concrete countertops, and integrated panel appliances (2 Liebherr fridge/freezers, and two Miele dishwashers). The island, featuring a 48” Viking dual-gas range and bar sink, opens the space seamlessly, with vaulted ceiling enveloping the dining room, which sports in turn hand-hewn beams and ceiling dormer windows. The dining table seats fourteen, eminently suited to festive gatherings. There are many thoughtful features, such as wide-plank walnut flooring, built-in pantry and storage spaces, and shiplap wall panelling. A further vaulted ceiling accentuates the grandeur of the living room, along with expansive two-story windows and a wood-burning fireplace. All three living, kitchen and dining rooms have multiple french door access points to patios, creating a seamless transition to the elegant outdoors. As to the young, sleeping quarters accommodate no less than eight in the bunk room, alongside a triple-sink bathroom with tiled shower and a line of closets for sleepover guests.
From Halifax, take Highway 103 to Exit 7. Make a right and head to Chester. At Walker Cut make a left and follow to the end of the road.
