Bring your dreams and your builder! This .57-acre parcel with 300’ frontage on the Piscataqua River offering a rare deep-water access (dock in need of repair/replace) and mooring. Endless potential with elevation to support new construction not limited by flood zone requirements and based on the grandfathered location of the current structures, boat house in particular, this property offers an unusually large building envelope with minimal setbacks. Watch the working waterfront of huge ships and barges traveling in and out of the harbor, submarines coming and going for service, fishing boats, sailboats, yachts, the Tall Ships, aquatic and marine wildlife – there is always something to watch. Surrounded by the Piscataqua river, view the Wentworth by the Sea hotel to the south and marvel at the lights and sounds of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard including the National Anthem in the morning and Taps at days end to the north. Existing home and boathouse on the property. Whether you expand the existing home or start anew, this captivating location will steal your heart.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
