    Extraordinary New Price – Now Offered at $1,449,000. This custom post-and-beam home with its iconic attached barn presents an exceptional opportunity to own one of Rye's most distinctive properties. 1.56 private acres just minutes from the beach, this one-of-a-kind home blends New England character, flexible living space, and endless possibilities.A truly one-of-a-kind Seacoast property centered around an extraordinary heated post-and-beam barn that offers endless possibilities for entertaining, creative pursuits, wellness, hobbies, car collections, home business, or simply gathering with family and friends. Beautifully restored with soaring ceilings, wide-plank floors, and authentic timber framing, this is the kind of space buyers rarely find and never forget.

Properties like this seldom become available. Whether you envision unforgettable gatherings in the barn, a private studio or wellness space, or simply a home unlike anything else on the Seacoast, this exceptional property offers a lifestyle that cannot be duplicated.
