About This Home

Variances approved in 2023 further enhance the buildability of this unique site. Beyond the property line, enjoy proximity to Rye’s Town Forest with its network of trails, and just minutes away, some of New Hampshire’s finest family beaches. With buildable lots in Rye becoming increasingly scarce, this property represents a rare blend of history, location, and future potential.
