56 Elm Lane Barrington

More than 207 feet of unobstructed coastal frontage offer sweeping vistas of the Bay, from passing boats and seabirds bobbing in the surf to the shrouded outlines of Prudence and Patience islands, lit at night by another historic lighthouse, Conimicut Light. Facing south, sunrises and sunsets are a daily pleasure. Yet proximity to the sea doesn’t require pricey flood insurance: the sloping property rises to 15 feet above sea level, creating an ideal footprint for building, while your private shoreline is protected by a substantial sea wall. Beyond lapping waves, quiet prevails in this neighborhood of refined homes in Rhode Island’s most desirable community. Barrington’s schools are tops in the state, and your new home will be walking distance to the Rhode Island Country Club, close to yacht clubs and marinas, and an easy commute to Providence and Boston. Ready-to-build coastal property like this is exceedingly rare: don’t miss the chance to make it yours.
