Description
Proudly introducing King's Head Lighthouse, described as "A Very Special Place" by esteemed author and historian Judith Ryan. EXCELLENT DESTINATION FOR AN EXCLUSIVE RESORT. Rich in history and meticulously restored by RHK Design Ltd, this remarkable property spans over 10 acres, features 1,200 square feet of breathtaking oceanfront, includes a thoughtfully renovated guest house & recently built Carriage House. Situated at the Eastern end of one of Nova Scotia’s best beaches, the three km stretch of sand known as Melmerby Beach. Bathed in natural light, this home truly shines, revealing its full beauty. The spacious primary rooms offer exceptional views, with meticulous attention to detail evident throughout the renovation. The private second level features a stunning primary bedroom, full bath, custom dressing room, and an additional bedroom. Savor sweeping views from the top of the tower, overlooking two beaches—Melmerby Beach and Chisholms Beach—Big Island, the inner islands surrounding Merigomish Harbour, Pictou Island, and, on a clear day, distant vistas of PEI. An added advantage is that the coastline of the Northumberland Strait is recognized as the province’s only truly fog-free shore, ensuring unobstructed ocean views year-round. The King’s Head Lighthouse was opened on September 1, 1882 and appears in Lighthouses of the World & Fog Signals, in the 31st edition. Since 1907 when the lighthouse was decommissioned, multiple generations of families have lived at the lighthouse and this very special place has always sparked a light in the eyes of those who knew it. Conveniently, Halifax International Airport is just a 90-minute drive away, offering a wide range of domestic & international flights. The city of Halifax is only a bit farther, and for those preferring private air travel, Trenton Airport (CYTN) is just 15 minutes from King’s Head and can accommodate aircraft as large as a Boeing 737. The King's Head Lighthouse is genuinely one of a kind.
