1126 Rockcliffe Street, Halifax, NS (MLS® 202503981): This is one of the most exceptional estates on the Northwest Arm, and this moment presents a rare opportunity to be its third owner, offering the chance to enjoy its rich legacy while creating your own chapter in this truly special place. This property has only ever been home to two owners-it was first conceived by an Englishman, Freddy Hand, renowned for his visionary landscape design which shaped the property's breathtaking Italianate grounds. The terraced gardens maximize the coastal landscape with thoughtfully arranged seating. Perfect for entertaining, quiet reflection, or simply admiring the graceful movement of sailboats and rowers on the Northwest Arm. The base of the property is solid rock to protect from future coastal erosion and maintain the longevity of the estate. The home itself is a graceful colonial, spacious and charming. And it is unique in its placement in the city of Halifax. The back door opens to a mature garden rich with country life. The front door opens to urban delights; cultural and dining experiences are walking distance, or a five minute drive. Spanning 4,600 sq. ft. over 2.5 storeys, the home is filled with warmth and charm, featuring detailed millwork; oversized windows flood the interior with natural light while framing its spectacular waterfront views. The flexible layout includes four bedrooms and a separate-entry bachelor apartment, offering adaptability for a range of lifestyles. Adding to the property’s charm, a picturesque boathouse sits at the water’s edge, complete with a wood stove and kitchenette—offering a serene retreat just steps from the shoreline. The dock is currently home to a 45' ketch, and beckons you to imagine your own adventures with family and friends on the Northwest Arm.
