About this home

For the first time since 2015, one of Durham’s most distinct private estates is being offered for sale. Set across 36 private acres and access to Great Bay, 578 Bay Road presents a rare opportunity to secure a property of this scale, privacy, and character in one of coastal New Hampshire’s most coveted settings.

At the heart of the estate is a gracious 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence with beautifully renovated bathrooms and inviting living spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday life. Outside, a private pool and hot tub create a resort-like setting surrounded by the peace and privacy of the expansive grounds. A separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom ADU offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, a private office, or additional living space.

Mooring access to Great Bay further elevates the experience, while a private clubhouse near the water provides the perfect place to gather after a day of boating, complete with a pool table, grill, and deck for taking in the waterfront setting.

Properties combining this level of acreage, privacy and Great Bay access rarely become available in Durham. 578 Bay Road is more than an exceptional property, it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a remarkable New Hampshire estate and create a legacy for years to come.
