About this home
Life in Ducks Head is about location. It's about becoming part of one of New Castle's most sought-after waterfront neighborhoods, where opportunities to own are few and far between. For many, simply finding a home in this community is an accomplishment. For even fewer, that home comes with tidal frontage, direct water access, and expansive views of the Piscataqua River. Start your day with coffee overlooking the water, launching a kayak or paddleboard from your backyard, and end the evening watching boats pass by as the sun sets over the river. Here, the water isn't just part of the view, it's part of everyday life. Whether you enjoy boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply relaxing outdoors, this property offers a front-row seat to the best of New Hampshire Seacoast living. Ownership includes access to amenities from two of the most desirable communities on the New Hampshire Seacoast. Enjoy a pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, beach access, gathering spaces, and beautifully maintained grounds. Nearby marinas, yacht clubs, golf courses, waterfront restaurants, boating opportunities, and the historic Wentworth by the Sea Hotel create a coastal lifestyle that feels more like a private resort than a neighborhood. Just down the road, New Castle Common offers a sandy beach, picnic areas, open green space, a playground, and seasonal boat storage. Add in the island's scenic shoreline, strong sense of community, low property taxes, and proximity to Portsmouth, and it's easy to understand why New Castle remains one of New Hampshire's most desirable places to call home. Inside, the home offers a sought-after first-floor primary suite, bright living spaces, garden and water views, and a finished walkout lower level with flexible space for guests, hobbies, recreation, fitness, media, or working from home. This is a rare opportunity to own a waterfront home in New Castle, New Hampshire, where location, lifestyle, recreation and long-term value come together.
