Our property is located on Pine Island, accessed by a causeway. Spectacular views encompassing The Great Salt Marsh, the back end of Plum Island, and meandering Pine Island Creek. The perfect rural setting, a great place to unwind and relax, and yet historic Newburyport with all its amenities is only 5 minutes drive away. Launch your kayak just a few yards from our house, or bicycle into town for a cappuccino.
For beach lovers, Plum Island is only 5 minutes way; Crane's beach, 25. Historic colonial towns such as Ipswich, Salem, Marblehead, and Gloucester are within easy reach. To the north, Portsmouth, NH and Downeast, Maine are fine day trips full of things to see and do. Rainy days? No problem: Boston, with all its museums and attractions, is conveniently reached by either car or train, and the Kittery, Maine, outlets are famous(30 minutes away).

Ground floor has fully equipped kitchen looking out on spacious dining and living area, complete with wood stove. Choose from a screened-in porch or deck right on the marsh with its gorgeous sunsets. Upstairs is one large airy room, featuring oval balcony looking down at first floor; exposed barn beams; king-sized bed and day bed with trundle.
Enjoy morning coffee on the small, second floor balcony, listening to birds and Atlantic surf off Plum Island. While the property is equipped with central AC, cross breezes from the ocean keep the house cool after dark

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
Jan has been a successful artist for over thirty years, first in the silk screen medium, now as a painter. Her work is in collections around the globe. Jim is a writer and historian, with published works on Irish and German history. He is also the editor of a local journal of opinion, The Newburyport Liberator. We both find inspiration (and rest!) at our Pine Island property, an experience we hope you will share.
Why the Owner Chose Newburyport
Our main house is in Newburyport, minutes away, a busy city atmosphere. For thirty years we came out to beautiful Pine Island to exercise our various dogs, and we always walked by this property saying, "Boy, if this piece ever came on the market, what a perfect spot for a vacation house." It's funny how things work out! We built the place in 2001, and instead of having to drive 4 or 5 hours to New Hampshire or Maine for our second home, we drive 5 minutes instead.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Peace on Earth. That's what you get out on Pine Island.
