This unique property offers total privacy yet a convenient location; a small town atmosphere but easy access to nightlife and culture; a bike ride to the beach but acres to spread out when it’s time to shake off the sand. Well…maybe this classic cape on 25 +/- Acres and located precisely between Rye town center and Wallis Sands Beach… will check all your boxes! 23.8 Acres of this land has been granted as an Easement to the town of Rye Conservation Commission, effectively protecting this land from future development as well as reducing the real estate tax burden to all future owners. A charming farmer’s porch graces the front of this classic cape style home built by well-respected local builder, DD Cook. This sun filled open-concept home offers gleaming wood floors, vaulted ceilings, a fireplaced living and dining room and a spacious 1st floor Primary Suite. Two second floor BR’s offer additional space for company or family. The views from the large windows feature the sun sparkling off the water on the large ponds that make up a large portion of the Conservation Land. Watch the abundant wildlife congregate at the water’s edge, grab your rod and reel and test your fishing prowess, or just relax on your back deck. For the car collector, the woodworker, the artist or the thinker, enjoy the 600 sf detached barn to enjoy your hobbies or work. Add a full, dry basement and 2 car attached garage...and sometimes the impossible is possible!
