Set on 2.1 private acres directly along Hamburg Cove, WATERLOT offers an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a premier waterfront estate on one of New England's most cherished maritime retreats. Renowned among boating enthusiasts as one of the region's finest and most secure "hurricane holes," Hamburg Cove provides a beautiful backdrop to this home. The property boasts over 220 feet of direct water frontage and potential for dockage capable of accommodating vessels up to 80 feet - a true unicorn for the region, where private residential slips of this scale and depth are virtually non-existent. Built with exceptional craftsmanship, the home offers a timeless foundation for its next chapter.
