Discover an increasingly rare opportunity to own 4 acres of prime waterfront land in Eliot, Maine, offering an extraordinary 456 feet of frontage on the Piscataqua River. Westerly facing and perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking sunsets night after night, this exceptional property is ready for your dream waterfront retreat, private estate, or multi-generational family compound. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the newly built 100-foot pier complete with a 40-foot gangway and two floats extending approximately 150 feet offshore, along with a mooring. The dock is equipped with fresh water, and conduit is already in place to run electricity directly to the dock. The property itself has power available on-site, making future improvements even more convenient. Public water is already available at the lot and ready for connection, with test pits completed to help streamline the building process. Large waterfront parcels of this caliber are becoming increasingly scarce, offering a unique combination of privacy, accessibility, and development potential. Enjoy the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience, with downtown Portsmouth, Dover, Newington, and Newmarket just a short boat ride away, along with direct access to the open ocean. Please note: Some photos have been digitally enhanced to illustrate the potential for future development and include a home that is not currently located on the property. This offering is for a vacant land only and does not include a new construction home.
