12.39 private acres in the heart of Rye, one of New Hampshire's most desirable coastal communities. Ideally located between Rye Elementary School and Rye Junior High School, less than two mile from Wallis Sands Beach, and just minutes from downtown Portsmouth. The property includes an existing 3-bedroom ranch that has been substantially gutted, offering the flexibility to renovate, expand, or create an entirely new custom residence. Extensive planning and due diligence have already been completed, including architectural plans, wetlands review, and an approved NH DES septic design for a future 5-bedroom home. The building envelope has been cleared and prepared, providing a significant head start for the next owner. Under single ownership and not capable of subdivision, this exceptional parcel offers privacy, natural beauty, and the opportunity to create a landmark estate in one of the Seacoast's most sought-after locations. Surrounded by luxury homes and protected open space.
