Perched high in Matunuck Hills, this extraordinary coastal estate captures sweeping views of Block Island Sound, Point Judith, and the Atlantic beyond. Set on 2.64 landscaped acres with flowering gardens, stone walls, a Koi pond, and deeded access to pristine Wash Pond, this rare property blends historic elegance with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1953 for the heiress to the Ballantine Beer fortune and later owned by the University of Rhode Island, the 8-bedroom, 6-bath residence offers more than 9,000 square feet of exceptional living space. Granite and brick construction, a slate roof, oak floors, custom millwork, and stunning stone fireplaces showcase timeless craftsmanship throughout. Designed for entertaining and multigenerational living, the home features a dramatic great room, tavern-style family room, billiards and game rooms, wine tasting cellar, and generous guest accommodations. The private west wing primary suite includes a dressing room, office, and beautiful water views. Recent upgrades include quartz countertops, a top-tier boiler, new air conditioning, new well, and new 8-bedroom septic system. Enjoy sunsets from the south-facing stone patio and expansive mahogany deck, just minutes from beaches, marinas, golf, and renowned restaurants. Only 25 minutes to Newport, 90 minutes to Boston, and accessible to NYC by car or rail. Currently a very successful and profitable rental.
