Rye NH Waterfront Homes – Come Live the Dream!

 

Rye New Hampshire Waterfront Homes –

Dreaming of Homes on the Water

 

Rye NH is a beautiful little seaside town along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.  The next town south of Portsmouth, it has an entirely different feel.  Parts of Rye are quite country-like feeling, parts of Rye are on the ocean and offer stunning views and beaches for summer fun, and there are beautiful estate-like settings scattered all throughout Rye, and we have everything in between as well.

 

 

 

To me, when I drive through Rye, I get a peaceful serene feeling inside.  The roads and scenery just make you want to take your time and soak in all the beauty around you.  All of our towns here in the Seacoast areas of NH offer incredible beauty, and all are slightly varied in their town personalities.

Homes in Rye are priced from $280,000 for a small 3-bedroom home that needs some work to $5,377,000 for a stunning 7,000 square foot home with fabulous views of the ocean, Little Harbor, Wentworth-by-the-Sea Marina and hotel, Wentworth Golf Course, and more.

At HOME in Rye New Hampshire

At HOME in Rye NH

Rye New Hampshire is a beautiful scenic small town located right on the coast of NH.  We have the smallest coastline in the country, and it’s just beautiful!  Our small 17 mile long coastline is just as most picture New England’s coast – some rocky coastal areas and some beautiful sand stretches of beach.

Our coastline offers some wonderful scenery and beautiful peaceful settings along the coastal route of Route 1-A, which follows the ocean.  You’ll find great fishing spots, as well as whale-watching trips and deep-sea fishing cruises, all from Rye Harbor.

The drive along Route 1-A, Ocean Boulevard, is so tranquil, it can really soothe your soul.  It’s one of my favorite drives, and is a favorite of most locals.

There are some truly stunning Rye homes along this drive, most were built as summer homes in the Victorian times.  Today, many of these Rye NH homes are now used as year-round residences.

Rye NH became the summer playground for the rich and famous during the early 1900’s for many years.  Many of the local residents today can trace their roots many generations back to the early settlers of Rye.

Students in Rye attend Rye Elementary School and Rye Junior High School, and then go on to Portsmouth High School, as part of the School Administrative Unit #50.  Rye Elementary covers pre-school through 5th grade, and Rye Junior High covers 6th grade through 8th grade.  The Rye PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is very active, holding monthly meetings as the Rye Library during the school year.  They take to heart the Rye School System’s slogan of “every child – one voice”.

Rye NH is in a great location – right along the Atlantic Ocean, less than an hour’s drive south into Boston, and an hour north to Portland Maine.  Manchester NH and Manchester Airport is a 45 minute drive west, and loads of winter activities can be found within less than a 2 hour drive from Rye.  Portsmouth NH is the next town over, just a short few minutes drive away.

These pictures show a sampling of the beautiful homes in Rye NH:

Come for a visit and you’ll soon find you’ll want to make this area YOUR HOME – you can then be AT HOME IN RYE NEW HAMPSHIRE!!

Who Wants To Buy A Bridge in Rye New Hampshire??

Rye New Hampshire – Historic Bridge For
Sale!

Yep, you read that correctly – we do, in fact, have a bridge
for sale right here in Rye New Hampshire.  And it’s also one that’s
eligible for being listed in the National Register of Historic Places due to the
significance of its engineering.

Why is this historic bridge being offered up for auction?  Federal law
stipulates that all historic bridges must be offered to the public before any
demolition can take place.

Where is this bridge for sale?  If you know where Odiorne
Point State Park is on the Atlantic Ocean in Rye NH, you’re almost right on it.  Look for the
Odiorne Point boat launch, and it’s right there.

Details of the bridge:

• 22 feet long

• 6 feet
  by 16 feet floor structure

• 4.3 foot sidewalk on one side, 3.5 foot
  sidewalk on the other side

 

If you’re seriously interested in owning this bridge, you must submit a
written bid by July 16, 2008.  These bids will be opened on the 17th of
July.

Those involved in the bid process have stated that the highest money offered
may not necessarily be the winning bid.  The person bidding will be interviewed
to show just how they will remove the bridge, how the bridge will be used once
removed, and they’ll also have to demonstrate what they intend to do to preserve
the historic integrity of the bridge.

Notes of interest to those thinking of placing a bid:

• minimum bid is
  $1.00

• up to $70,000 will be available to assist in the moving and
  reconstruction of the bridge

• bridge is being sold ‘as is’.

We’ve probably all heard that saying, “I’ve got a bridge I can sell
you”.  Now you’ve heard that there really is a bridge for sale here
in Rye New Hampshire!

To get a bidder’s package, you need to contact Phillip Miles or Dawn
Pulica of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation’s Bureau of
Right-of-Way, 603-271-3222.
