Listing broker remarks

One of the largest single family parcels in all of Newbury! This 16.9 acre property has been held by the same family since 1972 and sits just 4 miles from downtown Newburyport and 5 miles from Plum Island, a rare combination of country living and coastal convenience. The property is surrounded by marshland, offering privacy and pastoral views. Once a working farm with horses, sheep, goats, chickens, and expansive food gardens, the land is ready for its next chapter. It's an ideal setting for horses, a small farm, a pool or pond, tennis or pickleball courts, or simply enjoying wide open space. The 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home was built in 2006 and features hardwood floors, 9 foot ceilings throughout, and generous living spaces, though it needs cosmetic TLC. A detached brick single car garage offers storage and would benefit from updating. Additional outbuildings are being sold as is. Bring your vision to this rare 16.9 acre offering in Newbury. *Some photos are digitally enhanced with conceptual renderings.— Keller Williams Realty Evolution
