Details

This 20,050-square-foot lot is located 300 yards from the ocean in the South End of Rockport. It overlooks Rockport's South Fields Preserve, a 10-acre conservation area and the more distant Rockport Country Club, which, taken together, provide the setting for unobstructed and breathtaking sunsets. In another direction, the lot has limited seasonal views of the ocean, which is a short walk away..

The lot fans out away from the road to a width of 140-feet, and is framed by stonewalls and gardens.

Approved by the Rockport Board of Health for a septic system for a three-bedroom house; the system's engineering plans and drawings are complete and up-to-date.

A second lot with a house has panoramic views of the ocean. It is available for $600,000.

The neighborhood is steeped in history. Attracted by what is now called Whale Cove, French explorer Samuel Champlain landed 300 yards away in 1607. The views here are still lovely; a small secluded beach is nearby and granite rock formations provide perfect platforms for lobster cookouts, or for just hanging out. Some people swim off the rocks of from the small beach.

Farther out, straight out to sea are the rocks of the Dry Salvages, immortalized by poet T. S. Eliot.
