An Exceptional Halifax Estate — Where Home, Land & Water Come Together Some properties stand out because of the home. Others because of the land. 1160 Rockcliffe St is exceptional because of the way the two come together. Set on an extraordinary lot in one of Halifax’s most desirable locations, this more than 5,000-square-foot residence offers spectacular views, a strong connection to the water & a setting that gives the property its true character. One of the defining features is the home’s position on the lower portion of the lot. Rather than being set high above the water, the residence sits naturally into the landscape, creating an exceptional relationship with the shoreline while taking full advantage of the views. It is a unique positioning that adds both character & value to the property. Only 6 years old, the residence combines the scale & presence of a true estate with the benefits of modern construction. The architecture was thoughtfully designed around its surroundings, creating a natural connection between the home, landscape, views & water. The property has also been thoughtfully refined, including a new heated driveway & enhancements to the exterior elevation, adding both everyday convenience & a more polished presentation. More than simply a large home, 1160 Rockcliffe represents an opportunity that would be exceptionally difficult to reproduce. Recreating this property today would require securing comparable land, navigating approvals, designing & constructing a 5,000+ square-foot residence, completing the landscaping & achieving the same relationship between the home, views & water. That combination of land, architecture, scale, views, water access & location is what makes this property so rare. 1160 Rockcliffe St is not simply a large Halifax home. It is an exceptional estate — offering a relatively new residence, an extraordinary setting & a relationship with the water that cannot easily be replicated.More details

The walk-out level adds even more room to enjoy, with in-floor heating, a second fireplace, gym and family space opening to another patio overlooking the water. Outside, manicured gardens give way to a natural, rewilded landscape leading toward the boathouse and water’s edge. A stone patio and firepit make it easy to linger outdoors, whether you’re winding down after a busy day or spending a full summer evening by the Arm. Ducted heat pump, indoor and outdoor Sonos, ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi, generator hook-up, a two-car garage and low-maintenance landscaping complete this remarkable home. Beautiful, distinctive and thoughtfully designed, 1170 Rockcliffe is a place to make a statement - and, just as importantly, to feel at home and live life to the fullest.More details
