Description
Shobac—a Coastal Hamlet where architectural artistry meets pastoral beauty. Nestled within this enclave, Point House is a rare offering by renowned architect Brian MacKay-Lyons. Positioned at the end of a 45-foot-wide peninsula and surrounded by the Atlantic on three sides, this one-bedroom residence with a guest loft redefines modern coastal living. Elevated on bold concrete fin foundations, the home appears to float above the coastline, offering resilience against tidal surges and an uninterrupted connection to the sea. Clad in Eastern White Cedar shingles with a steep gabled roof, it nods to Nova Scotia’s vernacular. A south-facing glass curtain wall dissolves the boundary between interior and ocean. Inside, a double-height great room features blackened steel trusses, polished concrete floors, and a striking steel hearth. A bespoke floating staircase leads to a cozy lofted retreat. The gourmet kitchen includes over $38,000 in Wolf appliances, high-gloss cabinetry, and custom wood details. In-floor radiant heating provides year-round comfort. The primary suite includes a tranquil soaker tub, while two full bathrooms reflect minimalist design. A separate Bunkie offers guest accommodations for four, a STUV wood stove, and oversized steel doors opening over a tidal pond. Outdoor living is complete with an infinity hot tub perched at the water’s edge. Just steps away, Hirtle’s Beach and the broader Shobac Community—a design-forward coastal village imagined by MacKay-Lyons—offer rolling pastures, highland cows, and inspiring architecture. Point House is more than a home—it’s a sculptural retreat in a profoundly elemental setting.
