Stunning Smith House in the Shobac Community designed by internationally renowned architect Brian MacKay-Lyons is now available for monthly rentals. Rare direct access to Hirtles Beach and Gaff Point by way of adjacent ten-acre beach front field is included at the property. The three pavilions consist of the main “day pavilion” with a living room, kitchen/dining area, bathroom and hidden granite wine cellar, accessed by a secret trap door and staircase. Next door is the night pavilion featuring a primary bedroom with ensuite and further on is the “shed” with bathroom, twin bed and two single beds perched in the rafters. Stay comfy and warm after a day of surfing in front of the sixteen-foot-long granite fireplace. The mantle stone that dominates the living space is ten tonnes of granite! Natural ventilation predominates, cross breezes through operable triple-glazed doors and window vents make the most of the area’s relatively mild winters and summers. Super-insulated walls offer energy efficiency, and a hydronic system heats the floors. Furniture is custom-designed and crafted for the home. The magnificent outdoor space is punctuated with locally quarried 6” Nova Scotian granite veneer and pavers, an outdoor kitchen and infinite heated salt water spa hot tub. Smith House has received dozens of awards and global recognition including Plan Award Finalist; Architizer Awards, A+ Awards Finalist (2020) and Residential Design Architecture Awards (2020) among others.

Additional features include Miele/Bosh appliances, Stuv-30 fireplace in shed pavilion, and outdoor kitchen with Legacy drop in grill & pizza oven. The property has southwest sun exposure for sunsets and a saltwater pond. Ubiquity and East Link high speed internet is on location. Design details include white ash boards throughout, twenty-eight-foot free standing Caesarstone kitchen island, white ash ceilings, complimented by polished concrete floors. Even though you will feel like you are at the end of the earth, it is a phenomenal location for all amenities; six km to the Rose Bay general store, twelve km to the Lahave Ferry (to the Lahave Bakery), twenty km to UNESCO Heritage site of Lunenburg, thirty km to Bridgewater shopping &; one hundred twenty km to Halifax/Stanfield International airport.
