South Kingstown, Rhode Island

Welcome to one of Rhode Island’s most idyllic estates less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean. A tree lined enchanted entrance leads to over four and a half acres of manicured lawns, gardens and woodlands. Trustom Pond, a national wildlife refuge, is across the street, and over 41 acres of preserved farmland owned by the state of RI provide privacy and natural beauty behind the property. Four structures grace the site, including the main house, a two-car garage, a dedicated gallery, and a guest house. Surrounded by charming New England stone walls, the main house was meticulously built in 2001 with wide plank pine floors, two woodburning fireplaces, a beautifully done kitchen with honed soapstone countertops, three bedrooms, three and a half baths, and a third floor bound to be a cozy gathering spot. The separate two car garage, built in 2010, has a 23'3 x 15'10 finished second floor office serviced by a separate interior stairway. There is a 33’11” X 22’6” finely built gallery with servery, special lighting, and gorgeous hardwood flooring. There is a finished basement with wine cellar. Finally, there is a one-bedroom guest house, built in 2014, complete with a walk-in closet, modern full bathroom, a sitting room with wood burning stove, and fabulous views of the garden and the beautiful fields beyond. Beware--your houseguests may never want to leave. This property is a masterful combination of refined and casual comfort, and serenity with lovely views in all directions.
