    What's special

    Nearly five acresBroad expanse of lawnRichly detailed libraryExpansive living spacesWarmth and comfortDetached carriage houseBrand-new kitchen
    Rye Beach is recognized as one of New Hampshire’s most desirable coastal communities, offering natural beauty, history, and a serene setting near the Atlantic. Rarely does a property of this scale and privacy become available in this location. Set on nearly five acres just a few hundred feet from the ocean, the estate is approached by a 900-foot pebble drive lined with century-old lantern posts and mature landscaping. The home is sited on a broad expanse of lawn, with a detached carriage house positioned separately on the grounds. The carriage house creates a unique opportunity for the avid car collector, with space to showcase and protect an automobile collection. Inside, the residence blends timeless craftsmanship with modern updates. A brand-new kitchen anchors the home, complemented by a richly detailed library and expansive living spaces. Large rooms flow naturally from one to the next, creating a flexible and inviting floor plan ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Finely crafted woodwork throughout reflects the property’s architectural heritage while offering warmth and comfort. This exceptional property combines privacy, scale, and character in one of the Seacoast’s most sought-after locations—just moments from the beach and Abenaqui Country Club—an ideal retreat for those seeking a distinctive coastal residence.
