History and elegance are embodied in the Studebaker Mansion at Rye Ledge, NH’s most pristine coastal landmark. This is where auto executive Clement Studebaker, Jr., built his magnificent home on the rocky New England coast. The Estate has been meticulously preserved retaining its vintage architecture, while at the same time furnishing the best of modern comforts. Enter the home via the 23' Reception Hall, enriched with original imported English brick, where you are immediately transported through time imagining yourself among those who summered on the Seacoast in the early 1900's. Pass your dinner jacket to the Cloak Room attendant and wander past the majestic winding staircase to the Main Salon, where a string quartet plays soft background music to match the unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean beyond the Solarium. The focal point of the Main Salon is the 7 by 7-foot fireplace on the west wall. This magnificent marble mantlepiece was originally commissioned in 1907 and came to the Studebaker Estate directly from the Guggenheim. The elegant fireplace accents the antique custom-made bookcases placed in individual alcoves on either side of the French doors providing a grand entrance to the Morning Room. The expansive Kitchen anchors the house with its massive kitchen island; original cast iron stove still in working order; the ample Butler’s Pantry and Wet Bar; and is flanked by the Billiard Room to its west and the Formal Dining Room to its east. The second floor reached by either of the Mansion’s two generous staircases contains 7 bedrooms, each accompanied by a private bath. The Master Suite is graced by 'his and hers' offices, leading to the Upper Terrace, which faces the ocean and provides astounding ocean vistas. This 21 room Estate is beyond comparison with its extraordinary ocean views, lush grounds and extensive perennial gardens. Let the history and grandeur of the Studebaker Mansion become the inspiration for your own special family legacy.
