About This Home

As of October 2023

Extremely rare opportunity to acquire a spectacular, completely reconstructed seaside compound with separate 2-story guest cottage, behind the gates of the exclusive Belle Haven Association; only steps (or a short golf cart ride!) to the Belle Haven Club. The Gourlie Cottage, an original Shingle Style Belle Haven estate, has been completely reimagined to the highest standards featuring over 9,700 square feet of luxurious living space. The breathtaking interiors are accentuated by soaring ceilings plus an abundance of natural light streaming through the oversized windows. The home's ultra-prime location in the center of Belle Haven is scenic & serene with 24/7 security. The perfectly level property has a town approved pool site. This luxurious & idyllic seaside lifestyle is otherworldly.
