Provided by Redfin.com The 2017 oceanfront estate at 17 Straws Point in Rye, NH, was listed just last week for $25,000,000, making it the most expensive house in the state.
Exceeding 10,000 square feet, the custom home took more than two years to build. It has five bedrooms, 7.5 baths, and a spacious outdoor patio with an ocean-facing infinity pool.
You can “experience sweeping views of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts from nearly every room in the house,” says listing agent Jim Giampa. “The infinity pool and outdoor kitchen are perfect for hosting. The home was crafted by the current sellers to establish private areas for both family relaxation and entertainment, all while enjoying remarkable views.”
Epic setting
The home’s interior was designed to take full advantage of the exceptional surroundings. Beautifully designed, glass-sided spaces include an elevator and a four-season room with fold-away walls.
The 1.3-acre property is one of only eight oceanfront homes in the area. Most recently, in December 2022, the nearby residence at 60 Straws Point was purchased in an off-market deal for $25 million.
According to Giampa, all the other waterfront homes are in trusts for future generations.
“A residence of this caliber in such a prime location is a rarity on the market, often being considered a legacy property meant to be cherished by successive generations,” says Giampa.
Along with the views, which include the Isle of Shoals, the home offers close proximity to some of the area’s best dining and shopping destinations.
“It’s just a brief, 10-minute drive to the trendy dining scene of Portsmouth, NH, and a mere 20-minute commute to the historic charm of Newburyport, MA,” Giampa notes.
It’s also only 10 minutes from Portsmouth’s Pease Airport and within an hour of Boston and northbound skiing destinations.
