960 Gilbert Stuart Rd, Saunderstown, RI 02874

An oasis of peace and tranquility, this WATERFRONT seasonal cottage sits on 7.42 private acres at the headwaters of the Narrow River on pristine Pettaquamscutt Lake. Located in beautiful Saunderstown, this mid-century modern cottage was designed by RI architect Lloyd Kent in 1948 for his own summer home and has been enjoyed by the current owner for the past 41 summers. Perched high up on the lot, the cottage has terrific views of the serene lake which feeds into the six-mile Narrow River estuary and flows south to the open waters of Narragansett Bay. It contains a beautiful, water view living room with stone floors and a native stone fireplace, a compact kitchen & dining room, a master bedroom w/ attached bath, and two additional cozy bedrooms plus a half bath. The parcel includes 2 lots (a 6.4 acre wooded lot & a 1.02 acre lot with the existing cottage), providing a remarkable opportunity to build your dream home or for use as an exclusive private compound. Watch the eagles and cormorants dip into the water from the attached patio or while you dine outdoors on the terrace. Swim, fish, paddle board, kayak, canoe or boat to your heart's content, right from your own waterfront beach. Bordered by conservation land and a short walk to hiking trails and land trust property, this perfect retreat for nature lovers is also just a short drive to historic Wickford Village and the sandy beaches, shopping, marinas & restaurants of Narragansett and Newport. A rare and special opportunity!
