This stunning 2.69-acre waterfront property is 1 of 4 multi-million dollar properties on secluded 32-acre Edwards Point, off a private causeway east of Stonington Village. It features a 200-ft pristine shoreline with beach, breathtaking views and easy access to Little Narragansett Bay and Fishers Island Sound. The updated cottage sits above the 100-yr flood line and recent improvements include new septic, buried electric, and fiber optic cable, all available to design your dream home on this peninsula's last buildable lot. A mature half-acre garden and sweeping lawn allow for elegant outdoor entertaining and have been featured in House Beautiful magazine. Copper beech trees, stone walls, Lord & Burnham greenhouse and a 3-car garage/barn are added bonuses on this land stewarded by only 3 families since the 1600's. Within strolling distance to year-round Stonington Borough, yet protected by 12 acres of conservation land, this idyllic combination of privacy, direct waterfront access, and spectacular views make it truly one of a kind. It is a gem and sanctuary.
