About this home
A rare opportunity to create your dream home on 4 private acres overlooking the Piscataqua River, offering more than 450 feet of waterfront and an incredible setting designed to maximize the views. The property features a newer private dock extending approximately 150 feet out onto the river, along with a deep-water mooring. Much of the preliminary work has already been completed. Public water and power have been brought onto the lot, test pits are complete, and survey work has been done. Now comes the exciting part, designing your home. The featured custom home offers over 3,000 sq ft with 3-5 bedrooms and 3-5 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed for one-floor living with the option to finish an additional 2,000 sq ft in the lower level. Tall ceilings and an open-concept kitchen and living area are centered around the river views, while oversized double sliders create a seamless connection to the waterfront. All three main-level bedrooms are positioned to enjoy water views, making the Piscataqua a focal point throughout the home. Love the location but envision something different? This design is just one possibility. Bring your own plans and work with the builder to customize a home around your lifestyle and vision. With privacy, acreage, extensive waterfront, an existing dock and deep-water mooring, this is an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special on the Piscataqua River. Also listed as just land MLS#1664605
Discover an increasingly rare opportunity to own 4 acres of prime waterfront land in Eliot, Maine, offering an extraordinary 456 feet of frontage on the Piscataqua River. Westerly facing and perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking sunsets night after night, this exceptional property is ready for your dream waterfront retreat, private estate, or multi-generational family compound. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the newly built 100-foot pier complete with a 40-foot gangway and two floats extending approximately 150 feet offshore, along with a mooring. The dock is equipped with fresh water, and conduit is already in place to run electricity directly to the dock. The property itself has power available on-site, making future improvements even more convenient. Public water is already available at the lot and ready for connection, with test pits completed to help streamline the building process. Large waterfront parcels of this caliber are becoming increasingly scarce, offering a unique combination of privacy, accessibility, and development potential. Enjoy the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience, with downtown Portsmouth, Dover, Newington, and Newmarket just a short boat ride away, along with direct access to the open ocean. Please note: Some photos have been digitally enhanced to illustrate the potential for future development and include a home that is not currently located on the property. This offering is for a vacant land only and does not include a new construction home.
