3 COTTAGE COMPOUND ON 13+ ACRES WITH PRIVATE DOCK – Complete tranquility surrounded by the “Great Marsh” of Essex, 45 minutes from Boston, comfortably accommodating 12-14 visitors. Designed by owner architect Leslie Moore, and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the famous “Lawson House” of the Hamptons, the main cottage provides panoramic views to nature. This graceful shingle style home possesses floor to ceiling glass at each compass point, capturing the ever-changing light and beauty of the marsh. The main cottage is accompanied by two guest cottages: the contemporary Green Door Cottage and the more rustic Blue Door Cottage. Each cottage is equipped with modern heat pumps for exceptional indoor comfort in both summer and winter, while also enjoying the ambiance of efficient wood stoves. The traditional walkway and private dock provide access to the Essex River, Cranes Beach and Ipswich Bay, while the custom stone fire pit offers exceptional views of the marsh and night sky.
