Introducing The Stone House—an extraordinary French Country estate set on 2.76 private acres in one of the New Hampshire Seacoast’s most sought-after locations. Just minutes from Rye Beaches, downtown Portsmouth, Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, and the Wentworth Marina, it offers a rare blend of privacy and proximity. Arrive through a gated entrance and winding, tree-lined drive to a setting that feels both tucked away and refined. Completely reimagined through a full gut renovation in 2015 by Southwick Construction, the home reflects exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design. With over 7,000 square feet, the home offers 5 bedrooms and 8 baths, including a first-floor primary suite and an additional first-floor bedroom with en suite—ideal for guests or extended stays. Vaulted ceilings in the kitchen, living room, and foyer bring light and volume, while walnut beams in the kitchen and living room add warmth and character. A double-sided fieldstone fireplace serves as a central focal point within the main living spaces. The kitchen is centered around an oversized island that anchors the space for gathering and everyday living, complemented by a Lacanche range and seamlessly integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration—thoughtfully designed for both daily living and entertaining. Upstairs, additional bedrooms and living spaces provide privacy and versatility. Outdoors, the home transitions effortlessly to a private, resort-like setting with a custom pool house, heated gunite pool and spa, and beautifully manicured grounds. Just minutes to Rye Beaches and downtown Portsmouth, with private aviation access just 15 minutes away and Boston within easy reach, The Stone House offers a rare blend of lifestyle, convenience, and location.
