About This Home
As of March 2024“HIGH ROCK COTTAGE” – Long before these summer cottages had street numbers, every house had a name. Even mail was addressed “High Rock Cottage”, Cliff Road, Gloucester, MA. Perched on top of granite outcroppings on one of the highest points on Brier Neck, this is “OH…THAT HOUSE!” (The one you’ve seen in the distance and thought to yourself “Someday)!” Panoramic views, salt air and iconic twin lighthouses welcome you. Offered with the ADJACENT BUILDABLE LOT for the first time in five decades, this 1920s cottage retains its charm and is now a year-round home. Between Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach, the location is spectacular. More than anything “High Rock Cottage” has been, and will continue to be, the magical setting of our most precious memories…gatherings, returning from the beach sun kissed and salty, good friends, lobster bakes and in the quiet of the night, being lulled to sleep by the sounds of the surf. This is your opportunity to make that “someday” NOW…
