About This Home

As of June 2012

THE POINT- New Hampshire's consummate waterfront property on legendary Straw's Point (Locke's Neck), is located on a 1.29 acre promontory jutting boldly out into the Atlantic with panoramic land and water views of the Isles of Shoals, Cape Ann Massachusetts and the Maine Coast. This circa Eighteen Seventy 5132 square foot Mansard Style Victorian is offered outside the family for the very first time. The home together with eight other turn-of-the-century cottages form a necklace surrounding a common pastoral Green. This architectural gem is in need of a total restoration worthy of the effort and expense required. Straw's Point is a private community governed with its own road association, protective covenants and architectural restrictions affording ocean front tranquility and privacy available to only a fortunate few. A sandy Atlantic Ocean swimming beach is nearby and it is a short distance to Rye Harbor and legendary Abenaqui Count
