Timeless 1838 Colonial with Iconic 40x50 Two-Story Barn on 2.15 Acres. Nestled along one of Rye's most scenic roads and just one-half mile from the Atlantic Ocean, this treasured property offers a rare blend of history, charm, and endless potential. Set on 2.15 private acres abutting conservation land, the setting provides exceptional privacy and a beautiful natural backdrop. Inside, this 3,125-square-foot Colonial showcases the warmth and character only a home of this era can offer, featuring five bedrooms, two baths, gracious living spaces, and timeless architectural details that have been lovingly preserved over generations. The property's crown jewel is the remarkable 40x50 two-story barn—a true New England landmark that opens the door to countless possibilities. Create the ultimate workshop, artisan's studio, antique or woodworking shop, home office, golf simulator, fitness center, classic car showroom, hobby farm, or an unforgettable gathering space for family and friends. Whether you're pursuing a passion, growing a business, or simply looking for extraordinary storage and flexible space, this barn delivers opportunities that are nearly impossible to find today. Spend your days enjoying nearby beaches, coastal trails, and the serenity of the surrounding conservation land before returning home to a property that feels like a private retreat. Historic homes with acreage, a substantial barn, and a coveted Rye location rarely become available. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of New Hampshire's coastal heritage while creating your own legacy.
