About this home

Enjoyed by the same family for 5 generations, this is the unveiling of a Great Island treasure! Approvals to connect to Town sewer are currently being pursued. Ripe with potential, located in the heart of New Castle, this is a rare opportunity to take advantage of one of the lowest tax rates in NH and to enjoy the lifestyle afforded by a marina, historic hotel, State parks, golf courses and gourmet restaurants nearby. Serenity permeates this 5+ acre sanctuary. The entrance to this hidden gem is a demure circular driveway providing privacy and emanating a stately elegance. The main residence of this family compound is a modest three bedroom home, with three levels of living space, belied by the spectacular views of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean which is easily accessed by a right-of-way to the beach. A quaint guest cottage provides rustic seaside charm and a two car detached garage completes the package. Also listed as land MLS#4175159.
