Serenity in Nature's South Shore Playground

Very private cottage walking distance to beach and within 2mi. of town

Our home is near the sea and surrounded by meadows and stone walls. It is very private - the deer, songbirds and crashing waves are your closest neighbors. The house was completely renovated in 2009 . We are walking distance to beach. Winter views of water. We are less than two miles from the town of Little Compton and about 1.3 mi. to the Nature Conservancy's glorious Goosewing Beach. We are surrounded by acres of pristine land protected by conservancy restrictions. We have strategically planted trees to hide cars and neighbors. Trees, meadows, wildlife, stonewalls and waves are your closest neighbors. Have a cup of coffee and watch songbirds, wildflowers and deer through the expanse of sunny, south facing windows.
Enter through the blue barn doors into the downstairs living room with a stone fireplace, a fold out full futon, and a childrens "rainy day" cabinet of games, books and toys. This main floor has 3 bedrooms and two full baths. ( one bath has a 6 ft. antique claw foot tub and heated floors) Washer and dryer are on this floor along with a second refrigerator . The closet in the laundry room holds cleaning supplies and first aid needs.
Climb the stairs to the second floor. You may notice that all of the building material is reclaimed locally. (We attempted to add patina to new construction) The tall ceilings are covered in reclaimed barn wood. The beams and upper floor stone fire place mantel and all the trim were salvaged from a historic Fall River textile mill. The woodburning fireplace works well and we supply wood for you first nights fire. On this floor is the kitchen, dining area, second living room (with fold out queen sofa) and master queen suite with attached full bathroom. The large dining room table can accommodate all guests. This large second floor room boasts a broad expanse of sunny south east facing windows which capture the sunrises and hold midday heat even in the coolest of months. From these windows in the winter we have water views. The house is "an upside down house" with the kitchen and main living room on this second floor to capture the views. The master suite has a queen bed and full bath . The floor of the bathroom can be heated with a flick of a switch. A loft ladder behind the fireplace takes you to the upper bedroom which has two twin beds, a television, a telescope and distant views of the ocean.
Outside off of the second floor dining area/kitchen double doors lead to a large outdoor porch. There is an expandable cedar dining table that can accommodate everyone along with a gas grill and more seating.
Life outside can be enjoyed walking the trails cut through our 5 acres of meadow. We have a circular stone campfire area with outdoor seating off of the south east corner of the house. Between the east side of the house and the large evergreens we have a Petanque court. After a long day outside one can also wash off in the large outdoor shower . (In the late afternoon if the sun is just right it heats up the shampoo and shower gel on the shelf) Then hang your towel on the outside line to dry and relax in the hammock!
