Neighborhood highlights

Located in Upper Kingsburg, 20 kilometers from the Town of Lunenburg’s UNESCO Heritage District, Shobac Farm is truly a magical place in a secluded location ‘far from the maddening crowd’, and is home to a flock of sheep, two highland cattle, two large and friendly Leonbergers, gardens and gated pastures. Local sites and attractions include: Hirtle’s Beach - more than three kilometers of white sand, rolling surf, fresh sea air, drumlin cliffs, nearby freshwater lake and breathtaking views - a 15-minute walk from Shobac (also conveniently accessible by car and bicycle). Gaff Point – a seven-kilometer round-trip hiking trail within a protected Nature Preserve on a narrow peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean - visible from Shobac Farm and accessible by foot. Restaurants, cafés, bakeries and shops are a short drive or cycle away in nearby Rose Bay, LaHave and West Dublin (across the LaHave River), picturesque Lunenburg, and beyond.
