Property Description
Rare Rye, NH Coastal Opportunity-Prime Jenness Beach Property with Expansion Potential. Steps from the sand and directly across from the Jenness Town Beach access. This family Beach house offers an exceptional opportunity to secure one of the most desirable locations on the seacoast. Positioned on Old Beach Road, the home enjoys immediate beach access without crossing a busy highway or having to climb mounds of rocks like beaches to the north and south. This .25 ac (100x110) property with 3 large bedrooms has benefited from significant recent improvements, including 2 year old furnace, central ac, water heater and foundation work designed to assist in supporting a second story that would bring spectacular water views. Whether enjoyed as-is, enhanced over time, or reimagined entirely, the property presents outstanding potential to create a custom coastal retreat with ocean views. Rye remains one of NH's most exclusive and supply-constrained coastal towns, where land near the beach is increasingly scarce. Enjoy the best of NH's Seacoast lifestyle-minutes to downtown Portsmouth, an hour north of Boston and no state income tax. This offering represents a compelling blend of lifestyle, location, and long-term value-ideal for buyers seeking a beachside escape, second home, or strategic investment. Limited showings as appreciated winter tenant resides into June. Limit showings Sunday afternoons in April and Saturdays in May.
