New England Seaside Estate — pool, tennis, Sandy beach in scenic seacoast NH!
Gather family and friends at this magnificent family estate named Connemara — which has never been rented to the public. The estate is hidden down a long driveway, with large green lawns surrounded by majestic heritage trees. Large pool, tennis and pickleball courts, 5 minute walk to the beach! Create perfect summer memories here …. in the 1910 historic, meticulously maintained home, around the large pool with pool house, on the tennis court (with two pickleball courts), in the grand sunken living room with baby grand piano, outdoor firepit, pool table in large game room. Sit in the rocking chairs on the covered porch and watch the deer grace the lawn, listen to the abundant birdsong or watch the pine trees murmur and gently sway in the ocean breeze. Some nights (depends on the wind) you can hear the ocean waves from the beach. Entertaining here is old world elegant, gracious, family centered and magical. The decor is top notch designer with old school charm — high end fabrics, patterned wallpaper, design center furniture curated by the matriarch of the family with help from a top interior designer in the 1980s. Never leave your oasis at Connemara ….. or walk to the top of the driveway for a jaw-dropping view of the ocean and beach. Turn left and walk 200 yards to the ocean for magnificent sunrises. Walk down the hill to a long sandy beach where you can spend hours on those glorious New England summer days. Perfect long (1 mile) walking beach for exercise and people-watching. Public restrooms and across the street is the Beach Plum ice cream stand/snack bar with a large menu of surprisingly good food, especially the grilled hot dogs and enormous lobster rolls! A 20 minute drive along the coast brings you to the thriving seaport town of Portsmouth with tons of shops, restaurants, culture. Great road biking territory in three seasons — stunning scenery on flat terrain. This is a one-of-a-kind much beloved family estate which the family will not be using this summer. The months of July and August (possibly September) are available. Discount given if you take the whole summer. Potential to rent June 15 2027 through August 15 2027, 7 DAY MINIMUM RENTAL - Just inquire.
