The kitchen flows into the sunroom which, facing south and west, is plastered wall and ceiling with windows and skylights. Even in the winter, the room feels cozy. Despite all the glass, the room stays relatively cool in the summer even without air conditioning (which I have never found necessary), as does the rest of the house. This is because of the state-of-the-art low-E windows, the cooling shade of surrounding trees and the 30 tonnes of embedded concrete in the floors which help absorb excess heat. In the winter, a radiant in-floor heating system provides a comfortable climate. The sun warms things up nicely too!
Escape to spectacular oceanfront luxury Imagine: Sunsets and martinis on the deck overlooking the water, feasting on just-caught lobster on the beach, stargazing together in the outdoor hot tub, sailing in the harbour, hiking pristine woodland. Dar-Ix-Xemx - House of the Sun - promises to fulfill vacation fantasies for those seeking to be spoiled in beautiful Nova Scotia. Imagine: A spacious custom-designed property nestled in a 3 acre ash grove a stone's toss from an Atlantic tidal bay. The open-concept mansion has cathedral ceilings, 50 large windows and 21 skylights. Rooms - all with ocean views - are decorated with antiques and original art. The expansive kitchen, with 35ft of maple counter-space, is a cook's delight. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a spacious open-concept retreat. Awaken to forest and ocean views from eight windows. Outside, a tri-level deck wraps around the house. Sailing, canoeing and kayaking are on-site. It just doesn't get any better.

The main floor is 1500 square feet of open-concept living ringed around the kitchen, the traditional focus of homes in Nova Scotia. I love to cook and I think it shows. The only “wall” in the kitchen is a 15-foot bank of windows that peer out over ash and spruce trees to the bay, a spectacular panorama to contemplate while whipping up Sunday-morning pancakes. Solid maple countertops – 35 feet of them including one just for baking – snake around the room. Quality appliances include a Jenn-Air downdraft stove, built-in full refrigerator and full freezer, dishwasher and trash compactor. There is also a 50,000BTU gas barbeque for easy grilling. You’re sure to find any equipment you require during your stay. I’ve got all the basics, plus many extras, including a pasta maker and a functioning antique Italian cappuccino machine. When you’ve finished preparing your gastronomical feast, eat in the kitchen or at the table in the window-flanked dining room, which seats 8 to 10 comfortably (or up to 16 when combined with the kitchen table.)
