17 Great Cove DR Newmarket, NH 03857

RARE OPPORTUNITY... to create your private custom waterfront home in the heart of the New Hampshire Seacoast! This 3-acre parcel features 220' of frontage on the scenic Lamprey River with access to Great Bay and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Abundant privacy and nature, yet just a short walk or paddle into Newmarket's vibrant downtown. The large open parcel affords multiple locations for views of the village waterfront and the Heron Point Wildlife Sanctuary. Level and sloping topography provide ample areas to accommodate a variety of architectural options including Mid-Century modern or a more traditional New England vernacular. Both styles would provide walls of glass over-looking the waterfront and vast conservation areas as well as stunning down-river sunset views. Located at the end of a private, well-maintained road, you'll enjoy privacy rarely found in the Seacoast at this price point. On-site utilities, excellent cell service and high-speed internet available. An Audubon oasis, you can spend hours watching a variety of waterfowl, eagles and osprey fishing below, bluebirds, cardinals and hawks flying above, and turkeys casually walking through to the adjacent Town forest. There is a small circa 1970s 3-bedroom expanded ranch located on the property, providing opportunity for interim housing while you build or rental income (permit for replacement septic included) - contact Town regarding ability to retain the building for residential use after a new house is built.
