About this home
One of the last opportunities to build a world class estate on a premier water view parcel in Newport. Set on 1.19 elevated acres overlooking Newport Harbor, this exceptional property offers panoramic water views and the rare chance to create a custom residence in one of Rhode Island's most coveted locations. Just minutes from downtown Newport, the renowned New York Yacht Club, exceptional parks, world-class marinas, boutique shopping, and fine dining, the setting perfectly balances privacy, lifestyle and convenience. With the potential to build a custom home of up to approximately 18,000 square feet and a maximum height of 35 feet, the possibilities are extraordinary. An existing four-bedroom residence currently occupies the property, allowing flexibility for future plans. Large, buildable waterview parcels of this size, elevation, and location have become exceptionally rare, making this a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Newport's most prestigious coastal neighborhoods.
