Standing solo in almost 20 acres of coastal coniferous forest with the ocean at its doorstep, this Nova Scotia abode is the quintessential escape from urban life. The home itself is quite literally a work of art, coined in a recent listing as one of Nova Scotia’s “rarest gems.”
71 Hell Point Road -- known around town as the “Hill House” -- is designed by world-famous architect Brian MacKay-Lyons of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects.

MacKay-Lyons is known for his forward-thinking residential creations and the seamless ways in which they interact with the natural landscapes of Atlantic Canada. The Hill House is certainly not an exception, boasting 360-degree views of pristine greenery and equipped with passive solar capabilities.
The home is split into two houses. The main house contains open-concept dining, living, and kitchen areas with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to panoramic ocean views. At the far end of the main house, you’ll find the sunny primary bedroom, and on the lowermost level, a second living room, screening room, wet bar, and walk-in pantry. The interior is outfitted with a wood-burning fireplace, as well as custom maple cabinetry, poured concrete floors, and in-floor radiant heating throughout.

Our Favourite Thing
Although this home is a masterpiece in its own right, the scenery reads like a work of art. We love how the simplicity of the home itself lets the natural surroundings shine, and how the floor-to-ceiling windows and dual patios offer ample opportunity to take it all in.
71 Hell Point Road is situated in the exclusive community of Kingsburg, Nova Scotia. It’s just a ten-minute drive from Hirtle’s Beach and 30 minutes away from the historic town of Lunenburg. This home is a chance to soak up the serenity of being off the grid, without being all too far from the amenities of, well, the grid.
