About This Home
Tucked away on 27 pristine acres along Massachusetts’ famed Gold Coast, Malt Hill is a rare legacy estate offering privacy and oceanfront beauty. At its heart stands a striking three-story residence distinguished by its stucco façade, slate roof, and stately chimneys. Inside, rich architectural details pay homage to its grand origins and create an ambiance of warmth and sophistication. Beyond the main home, the estate unfolds into a world of unparalleled amenities: a carriage house with three residential units, gunite swimming pool, tennis court, and peaceful pond. A quaint “oyster camp” overlooks the tidal marsh, offering a front-row seat to the rhythms of nature. Most remarkable, however, is the estate’s private 3.8-acre beachfront—a secluded stretch of coastline where the ocean meets the horizon. With easy access to Boston, Malt Hill is the perfect retreat for those seeking both tranquility and convenience. A true masterpiece, ready for its next chapter of refined coastal living.
