About This Home
Commanding one of the most iconic oceanfront vantage points along New Hampshire’s seacoast, this is a rare offering in the heart of exclusive RyeBeach. From its elevated position, the residence unveils uninterrupted panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching from the golden sands of Jenness Beach, across the Isles of Shoals, and southward to the distant silhouette of Cape Ann. Situated along the shoreline and minutes from Abenaqui Country Club, the location combines the relaxed beach life with the distinction of a Rye Beach address. Here, early mornings can be spent with coffee in hand as the sun rises over the Atlantic, afternoons enjoyed on the links or the sand, and evenings gathered on the porch watching sailboats on the horizon. The home itself offers a gracious footprint and endless possibilities, whether you envision enhancing the current design or shaping a coastal estate that fully embraces its unrivaled views. Rarely does a property unite such natural beauty with such potential, making it equally appealing as a year-round residence, a summer retreat, or a multi-generational legacy home. Located just minutes from the cultural and dining scene of Portsmouth, with easy access to Boston and Portland, 1 South Road embodies the best of New England’s coastal lifestyle. Here is a once-in-a-generation chance to claim a front-row seat to New Hampshire’s most breathtaking ocean views.
