Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Rye, one of New Hampshire's most coveted coastal communities, this extraordinary 12.39-acre property offers a rare opportunity to create a private estate of exceptional scale, beauty, and permanence. Just moments from Wallis Sands Beach and minutes from downtown Portsmouth, the setting combines the tranquility of a secluded countryside retreat with the convenience of Seacoast living. Imagine arriving home down a long private drive, surrounded by mature trees, open space, and the sounds of nature, while remaining close to beaches, schools, restaurants, golf courses, and every amenity the Seacoast has to offer. Whether your vision includes a timeless New England estate, a modern coastal residence, guest accommodations, gardens, walking trails, or space for future generations to gather and create memories, this property provides the canvas to bring that dream to life. An existing 3-bedroom ranch residence is currently on site and has been substantially gutted, offering the flexibility to renovate, expand, or build anew. Extensive due diligence has already been completed, including architectural plans, wetlands review, and an approved NH DES septic design for a future 5-bedroom residence, allowing the next owner to focus on creating a home rather than navigating years of planning and approvals. Large private parcels in Rye are becoming increasingly rare. Properties of this size, location, and character are seldom available and often remain within families for generations. More than a property, this is an opportunity to establish a legacy in one of New England's most desirable coastal towns and create a place where family and friends will gather for decades to come.
