Comprised of fifteen distinctive homes set on approximately 2.0-acre private lots, the community offers a rare balance of space, privacy, architectural distinction, and long-term livability—an increasingly scarce combination on the New Hampshire Seacoast.
While select homes enjoy waterfront or water-view settings, others are intentionally positioned to maximize privacy, light, and natural surroundings. Together, the neighborhood delivers a cohesive coastal aesthetic with varied lot experiences—appealing to both young families and empty nesters seeking land, design, and flexibility.
