About this House

Positioned on New Hampshire's most exclusive peninsula, 23 Straw's Point commands sweeping Atlantic views and over a century of coastal heritage. Named for Governor Ezekiel A. Straw, who established his summer retreat here in the 1870s, Straw's Point has remained one of New England's most distinguished coastal addresses. This intimate enclave of homes is thoughtfully arranged around a central green, creating a design reminiscent of New England's finest village commons. Just minutes from historic Portsmouth and an hour north of Boston, this rare peninsula location offers both tranquility and metropolitan access. This elevated property showcases dramatic ocean vistas extending to the historic Isles of Shoals, with Rye Harbor State Park nearby. Built in the late 1800s, this residence known as Windlestrae carries a name Professor Gordon Milne chose in 1972, a Scots word for coastal grasses honoring the peninsula's heritage and windswept landscape. The historic home presents a rare opportunity for either sophisticated renovation or building a custom coastal estate. Properties on Straw's Point rarely come to market, with only a handful offered publicly in recent years. Whether envisioning thoughtful restoration or a new coastal masterpiece, this property offers the canvas for something truly special. The combination of historic significance and irreplacable ocean views makes this a unique opportunity on one of New England's most coveted stretches of coastline.
