“Rivers Edge” a 4.6± acre waterfront estate offers 400' of frontage along the Essex River with sweeping panoramic views of the river, marsh, Crane Beach, Choate Island, and beyond. Abutting conservation land, the Cox Reservation, and across the river to the 165-acre Cogswell's Grant, the setting provides privacy and permanently preserved natural beauty. The property offers a custom-designed 2002 Contemporary-style main residence with views from nearly every room, a separate three-bedroom guest house with elevated views of the marsh, and a substantial two-story barn/garage with scale and versatility for vehicles, boats, animals or workshop use. Walls of glass, vaulted wood-paneled ceilings, stone and natural materials create an interior that feels deeply connected to the outdoors. Notably, the residences are sited outside the flood zone-an uncommon distinction along the coast. Surrounded by nature, this bucolic property feels remote but is just minutes from the quaint village of Essex.
