Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Grange at Potowomut is one of Rhode Island's most remarkable and storied private estates where colonial heritage and thoughtful modern stewardship come together. Rich in provenance and beautifully preserved, the c. 1723 main residence offers over 5,000 square feet across two levels, showcasing original millwork, timeless architectural details, and the character only centuries of history can create. Set on nearly 11 private acres with direct frontage on the Potowomut River, the grounds are truly picturesque, featuring meandering lawns, artfully designed patios, and an inviting open sitting porch overlooking the estate. Towering specimen trees some over 200 years old and documented among the tallest in Rhode Island create a setting that feels both timeless and serene. The property also includes a private tennis court and two substantial outbuildings, including a 10-car hobbyist garage with workshop and generous storage. Also included is a beautifully restored c. 1825 guest cottage offering 1,200+ square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Known as The Cottage at the Grange, it has earned 107+ consecutive five-star reviews and offers turnkey short-term rental income or gracious guest accommodations. Room count does not include 6 room cottage. With over $1 million invested in stewardship since 2020, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic Rhode Island estate.

Potowomut, located between Greenwich Bay and the Potowomut River, is a coastal and residential Warwick neighborhood with salt-marsh shorelines and winding, tree-lined lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Potowomut Golf Club entrance on Post Road, where fairways, marina traffic, and low-slung local storefronts set a relaxed, nautical rhythm. Classic New England capes and mid-century ranches sit beside pockets of waterfront cottages, many oriented toward coves and small docks. Goddard Memorial State Park frames daily life with beaches, bridle paths, and broad lawns. The shoreline reads as working and recreational, with boat ramps, moorings, and quiet inlets. A short drive north, Main Street in East Greenwich adds a polished layer of dining and boutiques.
