33 Walbach St, New Castle, NH 03854

Watch the boats resting on their moorings, listen to the waves lapping the shore, halyards on the masts. The c.1660 historic Province House is a one of a kind property, located directly on the the water on New Castle Island. One of the oldest wood framed homes in the state of New Hampshire. Originally a cape built with old ship beams in the basement, the home was later changed to a gambrel in the 1920s and then underwent a historically sensitive renovation in 2016. All new baths, high end designer chef's kitchen, electrical, and new 50 yr wood shingle roof. Enjoy river views from nearly every room. Bring your boat to Hart's Cove, a protected deep water haven immediately around Fort Point to the open Ocean. Sited at the widest part of the Piscataqua, looking across to Kittery Point, it's a stunning location, surrounded by stone walls and beaches on both sides. A veritable peninsula providing privacy and serenity but just a minute's walk to the quaint village café, Great Island Inn, Town Hall and post office. Historic Portsmouth, a mecca for fine food and culture is a five minute drive across the scenic causeway. Enjoy direct access to a private beach, kayak the river, entertain on the riverfront deck - or simply relax with coffee in the morning sunshine. Town approval to expand attic above garage into useable studio space with deck that would literally hang over the water. An extremely rare riverfront retreat!
