Property Description
At the end of a long winding drive, beyond mature trees and rolling lawns, a remarkable waterfront setting unfolds. Positioned on 5.5 private acres at the confluence of the Salmon Falls and Cocheco Rivers, this exceptional estate occupies one of the most coveted locations in Dover, where three waterways ultimately lead to the Piscataqua River and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Life here is defined by the water. Mornings begin with sunlight dancing across the river, afternoons are spent cruising from your private deep-water dock and mooring to Portsmouth Harbor or the Isles of Shoals, and evenings bring spectacular sunsets reflected across the ever-changing tidal landscape. The views are dynamic in every season, offering a front-row seat to one of the Seacoast's most captivating natural settings. The classic white brick Colonial is thoughtfully positioned to embrace both privacy and the surrounding beauty. From within, expansive views draw the outdoors in, creating a seamless connection between the home and its extraordinary waterfront environment. The acreage provides a rare sense of seclusion, while the neighborhood itself is among Dover's most exclusive residential enclaves, known for its estate-quality homes and peaceful surroundings.Few properties offer the combination of deep-water access, substantial acreage, privacy, and proximity to the Seacoast's most desirable destinations. Whether departing by boat for an afternoon on the Atlantic, entertaining against a backdrop of river views, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the setting, this is a property that delivers an exceptional waterfront lifestyle. A rare offering where land, water, and location come together in a way that is seldom available and nearly impossible to replicate.
