A truly unique offering in Watch Hill... 7.5 acres of land suited for an owner seeking scale, privacy, and long-term flexibility. With over 1,000 feet of road frontage, this oversized parcel presents a rare chance to create an upscale family compound, hold a 7+ acre estate, or thoughtfully separate land for future family use without sacrificing exclusivity or privacy. Positioned across from Misquamicut Golf Club and minutes to the Ocean House, the property combines prestige with uncommon acreage in one of Rhode Island’s most coveted coastal settings. This makes an exceptional opportunity for buyers who value land as much as location. The existing estate includes a main residence with European inspired character offering 3BR and 4BA, along with a separate guest house featuring 2BR, 1BA, and a 3 car garage making it ideal for extended family, caretakers, or interim use while planning a long term vision. Mature landscaping, stone patios, and expansive grounds create a sense of privacy that feels increasingly rare this close to the coast. Whether preserved as a single luxury holding, configured as a multi-generational family retreat, or reserved for future flexibility, this is a unique offering. This is a once in a generation opportunity to develop or reimagine a significant coastal estate in a prime location.
