About This Home

Introducing The Stone House – an exceptional French Country estate, privately sited on 2.76 acres in one of the Seacoast’s most coveted locations. Perfectly positioned between Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, the Wentworth Marina, and just minutes from downtown Portsmouth, this home offers a rare blend of luxury and lifestyle.

Completely reimagined in a full gut renovation by acclaimed Southwick Construction in 2015, the home exudes refined craftsmanship and timeless elegance. A gated entrance leads to a winding, tree-lined driveway and an architectural masterpiece inspired by Baroque French chateaux. Over 7,500 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space includes 5 bedrooms, 8 baths, and a stunning first-floor primary suite.

High-end finishes abound—from walnut-beamed vaulted ceilings, a double-sided fieldstone fireplace, and white macaubus quartzite countertops to luxury appliances including a Lacanche propane range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a built-in Miele coffee system.

Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with a bespoke pool house, heated gunite pool and spa, and mature, manicured landscaping—offering total privacy for sophisticated outdoor gatherings or peaceful relaxation.
This is a rare opportunity to own a true showpiece just moments from world-class golf, yachting, dining, and private air travel. Coastal luxury at its finest.
